Asus AC51 Wifi Dongle

I’ve been using an old WiFi N module but just bought the USB-AC51 for AC Wifi support. However when I connect it and go to Connections nothing shows up, only when I plug in the old adapter do I get the networks showing up.

Based on an older thread the chipset is compatible: CoreELEC 8.99.1.1 breaks wifi with MT7610U

Any ideas on how to get it working? Reboot didn’t help. I’m using the Odroid N2.
