I have an Archer T4U Wi-Fi adapter but I can't install the drivers. Could someone please help me?

lsusb gives out this result:

Bus 006 Device 003: ID 2357:0115 TP-Link

When I try to compile it with make, the following error shows up:

    Please insert the device and run the terminal command: lsusb Next, edit your question to show the result. Welcome to Ask Ubuntu. – chili555 Aug 07 '19 at 13:17
  • @alvaromz i know this thread is 2 months old but if you're still having the issue with your RTL8822BU adapter, you could try installing drivers as I have described in here: https://askubuntu.com/a/1179178/928088 I too have the same adapter and I just installed in Ubuntu MATE 19.04 running kernel 5.3.4, and the adapter is working just fine. – Jags Oct 06 '19 at 23:40

As far as I know this USB Wifi Card is based on Realtek RLT8822BU Chipset.

On support page I only see "outdated" drivers T4U V3 180511 and T4U V3 181018 Beta, may they work, may not.

I would try to use driver from https://github.com/brandon-bailey/rtl8822bu and compile it.

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install git
git clone https://github.com/brandon-bailey/rtl8822bu.git
cd rtl8822bu
make
sudo make install
sudo modprobe 8822bu

  • I can confirm the https://github.com/EntropicEffect/rtl8822bu version works on the latest Kubuntu that I just installed and updated today (over a wire). The https://github.com/brandon-bailey/rtl8822bu did not compile. USB: Bus 004 Device 002: ID 2357:0115 TP-Link Archer T4U ver.3 – Wimpers Feb 10 '21 at 20:11

Maybe try

https://github.com/cilynx/rtl88x2bu

cd rtl88x2bu
VER=$(sed -n 's/\PACKAGE_VERSION="\(.*\)"/\1/p' dkms.conf)
sudo rsync -rvhP ./ /usr/src/rtl88x2bu-${VER}
sudo dkms add -m rtl88x2bu -v ${VER}
sudo dkms build -m rtl88x2bu -v ${VER}
sudo dkms install -m rtl88x2bu -v ${VER}
sudo modprobe 88x2bu

Works with kernel head v5.3.xxx using this repo. which you will need to git clone into a local folder

https://github.com/EntropicEffect/rtl8822bu

git clone https://github.com/EntropicEffect/rtl8822bu

Make sure you have build-essentials and dkms

sudo apt-get install build-essential dkms

After cloning, cd into that folder and run

cd rtl8822bu
make
sudo make install
sudo modprobe 88x2bu

Then connect to your Wi-Fi (Hopefully, both 2.4GHz and 5GHz should be detectable now)

Next, follow these steps to refine the installation and for an automatic rebuild on Ubuntu kernel image updates

sudo dkms add .
sudo dkms install -m 88x2bu -v 1.1
