I like WiFi access points as they require no special configuration on the computer, can be placed where they get the best signal, due to their larger antennas they get better reception and they often have several LAN ports allowing multiple devices to be connected to it.

If you still want to use a USB or PCIE WiFi then you are best served by looking for a card with intel chip sets as their drivers are included in the Linux kernel so they are often plug and play.

Three things,

• Have you tried using a newer kernel?
• You should be able to use a USB tethering to use your phone for internet.
• I really despise USB & PCIE WiFi adapters as they cause so many issues. If your computer has an ethernet port then you are better off getting an WiFi access point that has Wi-Fi bridge mode, you can connect your computer to it using an ethernet cable then connect the access point to the WiFi. Your computer only sees the ethernet connection so no additional drivers, settings or futzing around needed.

I have had the issue of having to enter a password to access an additional drive on my Manjaro PC.

I was pointed to this as a possible solution and it worked for me.

It may or may not work for you though.

From what I understand about the windows 10 install is you have to remove the internet connection to get the option.
