lsmod shows rtl8xxxu module loaded which is probably why it's not working so needs to be blacklisted.
As root, create a new file in /etc/modprobe.d/ called realtek.conf (name doesn't actually matter as long as it ends in .conf) and paste this in it: .......... then reboot and hopefully this time...

OK, Here is where we are at now. I applied the fix exactly as said and nothing. Since I blacklisted the driver it will no longer show up in inxi -N. Like you said on page 1 this chipset is unfriendly. I`m finished with this rtl8192 and sorry I have wasted everyones time with it. New plan. My other working Deb 9.4.0 machine has a Dlink DWA160.B2 ver.2.40 adapter working perfectly. I ran inxi -N got the exact driver version. Back to this new machine again, I searched Deb packages and found the driver . Installed the package with Synaptic. Run inxi -N and lsusb and it shows exact driver and adapter as was working on low power machine.
