How do I install the drivers for a WiFi dongle with the RealTek 8812AU chipset on Raspbian?

I recommend that you disable the on-board WiFi chip in order to save power and avoid causing interference if you'll be using a 2.4Ghz band. … Side note: There are many posts by MrEngman on the Raspberry Pi forums answering questions related to the Realtek WiFi chipset drivers and you'll encounter many 404'd Dropbox links to drivers and install-wifi
