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

thx !
I'm on 20.04 LTS and my pc is Asus R511L
The adapter is tp-link bluetooth 5.0 nano UB5A
all commands you describe are ok, but I have this message at the end:
"polinux<at>polinux:~/rtl88x2bu$ sudo modprobe 88x2bu
modprobe: ERROR: could not insert '88x2bu': Operation not permitted"
a reboot don't soluce the trouble, and I can't see the adapter with "lsusb" command

@polinux I bought a TP-Link WiFi 6 Pcle WiFi card for Desktop PC AX3000 (Archer TX55E) Support Windows 11, 10 Only
Running the latest Ubuntu LTR which is 22.04. on an HP-Server.
Someone published a 3rd party Linux driver for it on one of the Ubuntu sites. Installed that & it worked perfectly.

@MonkeyDLuffy Thanks, it's works for me now!!!
At first, I followed guide in this article TP-LINK Archer T3U Plus - TechInfoDepot Wiki [1], but it doesn't work for me (looks like they supported only RTL8822bu, but ours is RTL8812bu), and the github repository has not been updated from 2019.
I tried your suggested and bump,... it's works like a charm, I can see two wifi cards in my laptop now.
Thanks for the day!!

I conturned the problem with this commad (founded in an another forum... sorry, I don't remember where):
polinux@polinux:~$ sudo ln -s rtl8761b_fw.bin rtl8761bu_fw.bin
at least, it's working perfectly

Just ran the commands and it worked fine for me also. Thanks. Just an FYI for anyone using this - on line 3 "VER=..." that is the number ONE in between the backslash and slash - not the letter L. If you make this mistake as I did the FIRST time - just go thru it again and correct you mistake.
Thanks to all
