I bought a TP-Link Archer T2U Plus usb wi-fi dongle. I cannot get it to work on Kubuntu 20.04.4.
What I tried so far:
Open the terminal and execute the following commands :
- Update the package information :
sudo apt update
- Install dkms and git :
sudo apt install dkms git
- Install Build Dependencies :
sudo apt install build-essential libelf-dev linux-headers-$(uname -r)
- Download the Driver files using git :
git clone https://github.com/aircrack-ng/rtl8812au.git
- Navigate to the Downloaded directory :
cd rtl8812au
- Install the Driver
sudo make dkms_install
This info came from https://community.tp-link.com/en/home/forum/topic/184118. It didn't change the situation though. Still not working/no light on the dongle.
Got info from https://deviwiki.com/wiki/TP-LINK_Archer_T2U_Plus and downloaded the driver 5.3.4 from a link. The usb-id was the same. So now I have got a tar.gz file. I unpacked this. I have no idea how to install this driver. Content of the folder see picture..
I have got this in hardinfo:product unindentified and class unknown. And 'can't open device' error in Konsole. See image.
I really need a stronger wi-fi connection than my build in one on my HP Envy. Can anybody save the day, so to say. lsmod
shows me module r8169 ( size 77824, used by 0 )and a realtek module ( size 32768, used by 1 )
Edit 220618lsusb
shows me Bus 001 Device 002: ID 2357:0120 TP-Link 802.11ac WLAN Adapter
( amongst others )..Systeminfo:
Operating System: Kubuntu 20.04
KDE Plasma Version: 5.18.8
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.68.0
Qt Version: 5.12.8
Kernel Version: 5.13.0-51-generic

In triple boot with Mint 20.3 Una and Windows 10.
The device works in Windows 10, but I really hate Windows ( need it for work ) and it is not my private daily driver. Will provide any info asked for.
Looked at TP-Link Archer T2U wifi is not working as well.
