Archer T2U Plus driver for Linux Ubuntu/Rasbian
This thread has been locked for further replies. You can start a new thread to share your ideas or ask questions.
Hi,
I just got a TpLink Archer T2U Plus, the one with the big antenna. Works well on windows without any installataion, however I couldn't get it working on my Linux Ubuntu 19.10. with Kernel 5.3.0-24-generic system.
Is there any official or unofficial driver which I can use for Linux (not just Ubuntu but Raspbian as well)?
I would really appreciate your input.

@Kevin_Z Thank you for your reply.
Meanwhile, I asked the same question at AskUbuntu and received the solution for this problem.
Since the T2u Plus has a Realtek rtl8812au Wifi chip, it's easy to install a driver for it.
Whoever has the same issue with his T2U Plus Wifi dongle please see the solution or check the instructions below.

Hello, sorry to tell you that the Archer T2U Plus is not advertised to support Linux.
As you can see, there is no official driver for Linux. You can search for a suitable driver online or from Github to give it a shot if you already have it.

" sudo apt install git dkms
git clone https://github.com/aircrack-ng/rtl8812au.git
cd rtl8812au
sudo ./dkms-install.sh "
i can confirm that the above methode works on manjaro for raspberry pi4.
i had to install dkms first:
sudo pacman -S dkms
then:
git clone https://github.com/aircrack-ng/rtl8812au.git
cd rtl8812au
sudo ./dkms-install.sh

@abhi36 Hi, is your Kali a live cd or it's installed? if it's a live cd, it may ask for restart and you will loose the driver.
Anyway, here are the commands to install the arcer adapter:
sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade -y
sudo apt install git dkms
git clone https://github.com/aircrack-ng/rtl8812au.git
cd rtl8812au
sudo ./dkms-install.sh
