Archer T2U Plus driver for Linux Ubuntu/Rasbian
This thread has been locked for further replies. You can start a new thread to share your ideas or ask questions.
I just got a TpLink Archer T2U Plus, the one with the big antenna. Works well on windows without any installataion, however I couldn’t get it working on my Linux Ubuntu 19.10. with Kernel 5.3.0-24-generic system.
Is there any official or unofficial driver which I can use for Linux (not just Ubuntu but Raspbian as well)?
I would really appreciate your input.
Meanwhile, I asked the same question at AskUbuntu and received the solution for this problem.
Since the T2u Plus has a Realtek rtl8812au Wifi chip, it’s easy to install a driver for it.
Whoever has the same issue with his T2U Plus Wifi dongle please see the solution or check the instructions below.
***UPDATE 09.08.2021***
Installation on Ubuntu 20.04 or Linux Mint 20.2:
Open the terminal and execute the following commands :
1. Update the package information :
sudo apt install dkms git
3. Install Build Dependencies :
sudo apt install build-essential libelf -dev linux -headers-$( uname -r)
4. Download the Driver files using git :
git clone https://github.com/ aircrack -ng/rtl8812au.git
5. Navigate to the Downloaded directory :

Archer t2u plus linux manjaro
As I said in the title of this post, I am completely new to linux. I installed manjaro yesterday alongside windows 10 and I cannot find a way to get my wi-fi working. I tried one solution that I found on manjaro forums but I couldn’t manage to solve it. It was too much for someone that just installed linux for the first time.
Firstly, I had to enable AUR (Arch User Repository) which you can do by going in to Add/Remove Software, clicking on the three lines in the top-right corner to open up the menu, then click on Preferences and navigate to AUR tab and enable it.
Second thing I had to do is to check what kernel version I was on which I found by typing uname -r in the terminal, then I had to install the corresponding version of linux-headers.
For example: the kernel I was on was version 5.10 which means I had to install linux510-headers. I did it by typing the following command in the terminal: sudo pacman -S linux-headers and then just selected the one I needed. Reboot the system after this step.
Third and final thing I had to do before I could finally install the driver was going in to the terminal and typing in the following command: sudo -S base-devel After that press Enter to install all options.
After these 3 steps I could finally install the driver without any problems/errors and here’s how I did it:
Open up terminal once again and type in:
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/rtl88xxau-aircrack-dkms-git.git
Then navigate to the folder by typing:
And that’s it, after all that I could disconnect my LAN and connect to Wi-Fi normally with my TP-LINK Archer T2U Plus plugged in.
I decided to post this update in case someone with the same problem stumbles on this post.
As I said before, I am completely new to linux and the way I did this was a great learning experience for me.

Why should i buy this adapter ?
This adapter has a Realtek RTL8821AU Chipset at its heart. RTL8821AU has plenty of developer support in linux community and has driver for Kali linux , Parrot OS .etc Archer T2U Plus is on sale under 15 USD ~ 1000 INR , which is a very affordable price for Beginners in Pentesting. 2357:0120 is the USB ID.
Driver for Debian Based Linux Distros (Ubuntu/Kali Linux)(x86_64)
sudo apt install build-essential libelf-dev linux-headers-$(uname -r)
git clone https://github.com/aircrack-ng/rtl8812au.git
if the installation is aborted , check existing dkms modules and uninstall previously installed driver
if you encounter any weird interface name , rename the Wireless interface by following below steps
Driver for Raspberry Pi (Raspbian OS / Kali)(ARM)
sudo apt-get install raspberrypi-kernel-headers
sudo apt-get install build-essential libelf-dev kalipi-kernel-headers
git clone https://github.com/aircrack-ng/rtl8812au.git
sed -i ‘s/CONFIG_PLATFORM_I386_PC = y/CONFIG_PLATFORM_I386_PC = n/g’ Makefile
sed -i ‘s/CONFIG_PLATFORM_ARM_RPI = n/CONFIG_PLATFORM_ARM_RPI = y/g’ Makefile
But for RPI 3B+ & 4B you will need to run those below which builds the ARM64 arch driver:
sed -i ‘s/CONFIG_PLATFORM_I386_PC = y/CONFIG_PLATFORM_I386_PC = n/g’ Makefile
sed -i ‘s/CONFIG_PLATFORM_ARM64_RPI = n/CONFIG_PLATFORM_ARM64_RPI = y/g’ Makefile
In addition, if you receive an error message about unrecognized command line option ‘-mgeneral-regs-only’ (i.e., Raspbian Buster), you will need to run the following commands, then retry building and installing:
Uninstall Driver in Linux
$ dkms status 8812au, 5.6.4.2_35491.20191025, 5.10.63+, armv6l: installed rtl8188fu, 1.0, 5.10.63+, armv6l: installed.```
$ sudo dkms remove 8812au/5.6.4.2_35491.20191025 --all Deleting module version: 5.6.4.2_35491.20191025 completely from the DKMS tree. Done.
