Install driver for TP-LINK:TL-WN727N

Install driver for TP-LINK:TL-WN727N

Please unplug the device. Get a temporary internet connection by ethernet, tethered or whatever means possible. Open a terminal and do:

sudo apt-get install git linux-headers-generic build-essential
git clone https://github.com/porjo/mt7601.git 
cd mt7601/src
make
sudo make install
sudo mkdir -p /etc/Wireless/RT2870STA/
sudo cp RT2870STA.dat /etc/Wireless/RT2870STA/
sudo depmod -a
sudo modprobe mt7601Usta

Insert the device and it should be working. Let us know your success as we will have one additional step.

You have compiled the driver for your current running kernel only. When Update Manager installs a later kernel, known in Ubuntu as linux-image, after the required reboot, re-compile:

cd mt7601/src
make clean
make
sudo make install
sudo depmod -a
sudo modprobe mt7601Usta

Please retain the file and these instructions for that time.

Сначала нужно установить пакет git с помощью Synaptic.
Потом отключить адаптер и выполнить в терминале :

sudo apt-get install git linux-headers-generic build-essential
git clone https://github.com/porjo/mt7601.git
cd mt7601/src
make
sudo make install
sudo mkdir -p /etc/Wireless/RT2870STA/
sudo cp RT2870STA.dat /etc/Wireless/RT2870STA/
sudo depmod -a
sudo modprobe mt7601Usta

Затем подключить адаптер и проверить сеть(и) Wi-Fi.
У меня все заработало!
Если будете менять ядро, то нужно после его замены выполнить в терминале следующее :

cd mt7601/src
make clean
make
sudo make install
sudo depmod -a
sudo modprobe mt7601Usta

Всё. Решено.

PS: Если после перезагрузки или установки нового ядра адаптер перестает работать , то проверьте загружаются ли модули драйвера в ядро командой lsmod.
Или попробуйте загрузить "в ручную" командой modprobe mt7601Usta от рута.
Если всё нормально - то пропишите  в автозагрузку.  Откройте от рута файл /etc/rc.local и до exit 0 (пункт 13) пропишите modprobe mt7601Usta, ну и конечно сохраните изменения.

Command prompt, actually

I signed in(after the username it asked for a password) and it said:
"
remote: Repository not found.
fatal: repository 'https://github.com/porjo/mt7601.git/' not found

What should i do in this case?

Well, Ha-Ha, the link is clickable and it's literally says that this repository does not exist.

It's pretty old driver and a lot of repositories for "hackers" just got deleted. I'm not creator and can't help you, sorry
