I have purchased the TL-WN722N V3 recently to test it on my Ubuntu 16.04 OS running on VirtualBox. I followed the instructions on your Installation Guide for Linux but I faced some problems in compiling your Linux drivers.

Here are the drivers I have tested :

It sucks when TP Link switched the chipset from Atheros to Realtek which does not have monitor mode capabilities for this adapter and it gives me a hard time to compile the drivers on Linux distros. Please assist me to resolve this issue. Thank you
