I hope somebody can help me here in English since in German I don't find the support that I need. I try to explain it very well so you guys understand the issue. If you guys can't help me I would also appreciate which reddit page could possibly help with this.
So I bought a Wifi Stick with the Chipset Realtek 8811CU for a Linux IPTV Setup Box which doesn't have wifi on board (Octagon SX88 4K) which supports the Chipset of the wifi stick. People in their forum even said this works. Just plug it in and type the wifi password and you good to go. But my wifi stick has this issue, that it came without a CD so whenever you first time plug it in, it first shows up as a USB Drive. In the forum they said that this should not happen. When I plug it into the Box and go to Wifi-Settings it doesn't see any wifi devices because it thinks I plugged a USB Drive.
So I plugged it into my Laptop (Windows 7) and there it also showed up as a USB Drive. So I could open a folder and Install it to Windows or Mac. I though to myself "WTH? This is not a USB Sticks it's WIFI Stick" After I installed the Software for Windows, which was on the folder of the Stick, THEN it turned out to be a Wifi Stick and did it's job. Now whenever I plug it into my Laptop it acts like a wifi stick how it should. The Linux Receiver Box that I bought this Wifi Stick for see it as a USB Drive because that is what sticks pretends to be whenever you plug it in to a new device the first time. But that is my Problem! I need to skip that USB part to make this stick to get recognized as a wifi stick in the wifi settings of the box.
Anybody know what to do with the stick? Should I just delete all files in it? Or formate it to something? I hope you guys understand what I try to say.
The Wifi Sticks pretends to be a USB Stick at first so people can install the software for windows or mac but I need this part to skip otherwise my Box doesn't recognize it as a wifi stick but instead as a usb drive.
Another user in the forum bought a similar wifi stick, which looked exactly like mine with the same exact same chipset. Only difference was, that his wifi stick came with a CD. He never used the CD because the Linux Box recognized it as a wifi device. Unlike mine which didn't came with a CD and that's why it acts like a USB Drive first. But I need to skip that part somehow. I hope you guys understand what I mean by that. I really hope someone can help me.
