Interesting what kind of speeds can one normally get?
What have you seen?

My average was about 110-120 Mbit/s for download and 25 Mbit/s for upload. My mobile phone connected to the same WiFi can download at 250 Mbit/s. I couldn't make the morrownr/88x2bu's driver to work in a USB3 mode so I'm stuck at USB2.

Still 120 Mbit/s is good enough until I buy a WiFi dongle that will be instantly recognised by a freshly installed Linux distro.

Were there any gotcha's when you installing the driver(s)?
I'll try this one. ;)

None. That's why I thought that I'll post that sudo ./install-driver.sh on dev.to. Primarily for myself but hoping that others might find it useful too.
