Model: Adapter  
Hardware Version: V3
Firmware Version:

I am running 

5.8.0-kali2-amd64

 

I have tried using this driver T4U_V3_181018_Linux_beta.zip and followed the instructions in Linux Installation Guide under Kali 2018.1 (was developed for Kernel source version 4.14.0-kali3-amd64)

 

I am getting the following error:

@Jack-Lemac 

 

Hello, as far as I know, this T4U_V3_181018_Linux_beta.zip is only tested to be compatible with the Linux (kernel 2.6.18 ~ 4.11), while your system seems updated to a newer version, so the compatibility is no longer guaranteed.

 

You are suggested to seek some help on the open source forums such as GitHub.

 

Thanks for understanding.

@Kevin_Z 

 

The USB adapter I have appears to be using a Realtek 802.11ac chipset?

 

If so, these are the native Kali 2020 drivers for realtek. Which one can I use/load to get my Archer T4U working? Your outdated driver is a realtek-rtl88xxbu but I canont find anything that closely matches?

@Jack-Lemac 

 

The chipset for the Archer T4U v3 is RTL8812BU, you may search for the driver from the public sites to see if you can find an updated driver for your Linux 5.8.0-kali2-amd64.

I wouldn't waste your time. I've got the T3U which uses the same chipset and the drivers and the chipset drivers on the AUR just don't work. It will always fail the 4 way handshake and get stuck in a loop.

@Gibbo3771 I got into a dead end with this. I ended up buying a Panda Wireless PAU09 Adapter which worked out of the box like a charm! I highly recommend it.
