Install TP-Link AC600 Archer T2U Nano WiFi USB Adapter In Linux
Archer T2U nano adapter supports 64/128-bit WEP, WPA/WPA2, and WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK encryption standards.If you are ever looking for a dual-band WiFi router for faster speed and extended range, TP-Link AC600 Archer T2U Nano WiFi USB adapter is undoubtedly good choice.
Even though Archer T2U nano adapter has some good features, it has one drawback. It supports Windows and Mac OS only. There is no official drivers for Linux.
I came across an unofficial driver for Archer T2U Nano on GitHub and it works good.
Install the necessary dependencies and Kernel headers in Ubuntu Linux with command:
Git clone the rtl8812au GitHub repository:
Cd into the cloned directory:
Finally, install TP-Link AC600 Archer T2U Nano WiFi USB adapter in Ubuntu using command:
Unplug the TP-Link Archer T2U nano adapter and plug it again. The LED will start to blink. Verify if the driver is installed and loaded using command:
$ sudo dkms status
If the TP-Link AC600 WiFi USB adapter is installed, you will see the following output:
Connect the new device for internet.

Hello, I have followed the guide step by step, but nothing changes. when I look at wireless devices it still says "we have not detected any wireless network adapter", I have tried with lsusb, and the device is recognized as "tp link 802.11.ac wlan adapter". I have run "sudo dkms status" and it says everything is installed. But the device does not turn any lights on or off. I know it works, I've tried it on windows. I tried the installation in direct ports to the motherboard, and front ports. Nothing changes. Could it be something related to the kernel? I have 5.13.04 using ubuntu 20.04lts . All the pages that I have visited are from more than a year ago, but this is the most recent, I would like to know with which kernel and version of the driver it has worked for you. What distribution of ubuntu, etc.
ReplyDeleteI have installed it on both Ubuntu and linux mint with latest version and kernel. Did you unplugged and plugged again the device and restarted the OS once.
