Thanks Aravisian for your help. I tried as you write. Seems done successfully. Still my wifi does not appear. But I find that my wifi is rtl8811cu instead of 8821ce which you write. Would you help me to try with 8811cu or 8811au(my another) instead of 8821ce in your 1st reply. Rtl8811cu and 8811au both appears as 802.11ac in Win7 device manager. Thanks in advance, samcore.

can you try:

sudo apt install build-essential -y

mkdir -p ~/build

cd ~/build

sudo apt install git

git clone GitHub - brektrou/rtl8821CU: Realtek RTL8811CU/RTL8821CU USB Wi-Fi adapter driver for Linux

cd rtl8821CU

make

sudo make install

I am appreciate to your help, Aravisian.
Now, it works well in both Zorin15.2(updated to 15.3) and 12.4.
Just for your reference, rtl8811au seems need additional effort.
Have nice, weekend !
