Need help configuring USB wifi card.

I have an older laptop that doesn't support 5 GHz wireless band so I bought an Ourlink Nano USB wireless adapter. When I turn off my integrated wireless card the USB card isn't taking over.

lsusb is showing:

Bus 002 Device 004: ID 0bda:a811 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. RTL8811AU 802.11a/b/g/n/ac WLAN Adapter

so I know Arch is detecting my USB wifi card when I plug it in. What am I missing?

NVM, I solved it. I had to update the driver. I thought I had the latest driver installed. It works now.
