Install TP Link in Ubuntu 20.04
I Bought TP-Link AC1300 Mini-Wireless MU-MIMO USB Adapter Archer T3U.
I know there is no official support for Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. Can any body help me to make it work with my Ubuntu 20.04

Thank you, it works flawless on my ubuntu 20.04.
But after restart the Wifi is not available anymore.
How to make it work after restart? Making it avaiable at startup...

@BBiswas Hey!
I had the same problem, check out Jags solution on Ask Ubuntu under Proper Way of Installing Wifi Drivers.
For convenience, I'll repost it here, because I can't seem to attach the link, but I take no credit for the following solution or the github repo. Make sure the adapter is unplugged, and tether to a phone or connect to ethernet. In terminal, do:
git clone https://github.com/cilynx/rtl88x2bu.git cd rtl88x2bu VER=$(sed -n 's/\PACKAGE_VERSION="\(.*\)"/\1/p' dkms.conf) sudo rsync -rvhP ./ /usr/src/rtl88x2bu-${VER} sudo dkms add -m rtl88x2bu -v ${VER} sudo dkms build -m rtl88x2bu -v ${VER} sudo dkms install -m rtl88x2bu -v ${VER} sudo modprobe 88x2bu
Hope this helped and cheers,

Thank you

hello@futureishere you could start a new thread for speed concern, at the same time you could try to ajust some wfi settings on router like Channel and channel width 80Mhz for 5Ghz, 40Mhz for 2.4Ghz

Hey @MonkeyDLuffy,
Thank you so very much for sharing the proper solution, this solution worked for my Ubuntu 20.04 where I was trying to get TP-Link AC1300(Archer T3U Plus) to work, for some reason originally my system only supported TP-LINK N300-mini USB but now both my Wifi dongles work
