Linksys WUSB 6300 Wireless Adapter Keeps Disconnecting on Ubuntu 16.04
I followed instruction on this post to install the driver. The wifi adapter seems to be working. However, it keeps dropping wifi connections and re-connecting every few minutes.
My machine has dual boots, Ubuntu 16.04 & Windows 10. And Windows 10 never drops the wifi. Doesn't seem to be the adapter or my home wifi issue.

The following worked for me on Ubuntu 16.04:
sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r) build-essential git
git clone https://github.com/zebulon2/rtl8812AU-driver-5.2.9
sudo dpkg -i gord-rtl8812au-dkms_1.0-13_amd64.deb
Or install with gdebi package installer

This gave meERROR (dkms apport): kernel package linux-headers-4.20.8-042008-generic is not supported. I can't downgrade the kernel because then proper support for my i7 9700k fails.

Previous answer was outdated due to kernel updates. This solution works for Mint 19.1 based on Ubuntu 18.04 with kernel version 4.20.8.
sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r) build-essential git
git clone https://github.com/gordboy/rtl8812au
cd rtl8812au
make
sudo make install
If you are using NetworkManager (default in Mint) need to add this to /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf (might be present by default, mine was)
[device]
wifi.scan-rand-mac-address=no
Then restart.
