Model: Archer T2U  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version:

I am trying to get an older machine on the network for retro gaming, it's running windows Vista. XP drivers should work fine. However, your "driver download" doesn't actually have a driver file in it that I can manually install. Whenever I run the setup, normal mode, safe mode, as admin, compatibility for windows XP sp2, no matter how I run it, it does not detect your USB adapter. Windows sees it just fine. it just has not blasted driver for it. can you please just give me the raw driver file so I can install it manually and not have to rely on your faulty setup program?

Hi,

 

Can you please get the Hardware ID (PID and VID) of your T2U from the Windows Device Manager and post it here?

 

This example shows a different Wi-Fi dongle for reference.

This ID correlates to the Archer T2U Version 1.x

 

Did you download the driver installer that does not work from this location?  https://www.tp-link.com/en/support/download/archer-t2u/v1/#Driver

For Windows Vista (or XP) you might want to try older versions of the driver package.

  @woozle I tried both versions, the setup file says there is no device detected. Can you please provide the driver file so I can do it manually?

Yes. Just download the file from the last link that I posted.

The second link worked, thank you. This was a very frustrating experience. Why does the setup provided not work for all 3 versions of this product?
