Using A7000 with raspberry pi 4.

[gibby101]

Hi

I have a spare A7000 and would like to use it with my media streamer which is a raspberry pi 4 running Kodi. I plugged it and it sees the USB device but it doesnt seem to recognize it as a wifi adapter.

Thanks!

Some information to start with is shown here https://wikidevi.com/wiki/Netgear_A7000 - as this site will disappear soon:

The Edimax driver EW-7833UAC_Linux_Driver_4.3.21 linked to on the right works with Ubuntu 16.04 Kernel 4.4.0-116 if you add the Netgear device ID.

Add the line {USB_DEVICE(0x0846, 0x9054),.driver_info = RTL8814A}, /* Netgear - A7000 */ to the CONFIG_RTL8814A section in <driver source folder>/os_dep/linux/usb_intf.c.

It's line 213 in the version mentioned above.

Then make, and sudo make install as described in the readme.

You need an ARM driver for your Pi btw.
