Configuring Wireless USB Adapter Archer T2U Nano on Linux
I bought AC600 Nano Wireless USB Adapter Archer T2U Nano from TP-Link, to get 5Ghz support in my old laptop, also this adapter has a bunch of other networking features which were missing on my on-board network adapter.
T2U Nano has no official support for Linux but there are drivers out which work with T2U. If you want to know more about the device, see here
Configure Archer T2U Nano
To get started just plug it in, but without configuring drivers it will not work, so let’s install drivers and configure it
Since there are no official drivers, we will use drivers from jeremyb31(on GitHub)
let’s verify our Device ID to make sure that these drivers will work for us
Getting Device ID
Try to see if device is showing up or not, to do that we will tail syslog and see if something shows up when we plug and unplug it.
~/wd $ sudo tail -n 0 -f /var/log/syslog --omitted--> Oct 30 14:09:19 Inspiron-3542 kernel: [53927.640119] usb 1-1.3: New USB device found, idVendor=2357, idProduct=011e Oct 30 14:09:19 Inspiron-3542 kernel: [53927.640124] usb 1-1.3: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3 Oct 30 14:09:19 Inspiron-3542 kernel: [53927.640127] usb 1-1.3: Product: 802.11ac WLAN Adapter Oct 30 14:09:19 Inspiron-3542 kernel: [53927.640130] usb 1-1.3: Manufacturer: Realtek Oct 30 14:09:19 Inspiron-3542 kernel: [53927.640132] usb 1-1.3: SerialNumber: 00e04c000001 --omitted--> ~/wd $
New USB device found, idVendor=2357, idProduct=011e
This logline indicates that we found the device with Vendor ID: 2357 and Product ID: 011e
Now we know that device is connected, let’s get its Device ID
# Now try to ID the USB device with lsusb, here it's `2357:011e` on `Bus 001 Device 003` ~/wd $ lsusb --omitted--> Bus 001 Device 003: ID 2357:011e --omitted--> ~/wd $
Now we can see that our USB device is plugged in on Bus 001 with ID 2357:011e
Installing Drivers
# For the T2U with Device ID 2357:011e do # Secure Boot will need to be disabled to install these drivers # The GitHub repo name is a little misleading as the source code supports rtl8812au, rtl8814au, and rtl8821au sudo apt install git dkms git clone https://github.com/jeremyb31/rtl8812au-1.git cd rtl8812au-1 sudo ./dkms-install.sh
Finally .
At last, I just unplugged and plugged the device again, and it’s indicator light started blinking and adapter showed up in WiFi Tab
Here is before and after speed test, before speed test is using 2.4Ghz on-board network adapter, and after is using T2U on 5Ghz Band
Before (on-board — 2.4 Ghz)
here we are getting low speed because 2.4 Ghz band is crowded, on-board network adapter is not the culprit in this case 🙂
After (T2U — 5 Ghz)
Hopefully, this was useful and educational, Cheers .

This is mostly for my own benefit when I invariably format a computer using these adapters and forget how to get wifi working again:
Plug device in and ensure it is detected via lsusb :
For the T3U Plus, the ID is 2357:0138 .
git clone https://github.com/aircrack-ng/rtl8812au.git cd rtl8812au sudo make dkms_install
Instructions from this GitHub repository, run as root:
git clone "https://github.com/RinCat/RTL88x2BU-Linux-Driver.git" /usr/src/rtl88x2bu-git sed -i 's/PACKAGE_VERSION="@PKGVER@"/PACKAGE_VERSION="git"/g' /usr/src/rtl88x2bu-git/dkms.conf dkms add -m rtl88x2bu -v git dkms autoinstall

Does it support AP Mode on the two bands?
Unfortunately I haven’t tried that, but FreshTomato is pretty featureful, I wouldn’t be surprised if it did
You can check if your device supports AP mode by running «iw list » and looking in the ‘Supported interface mode*s’ section for «*AP» .
@odhiambo I get the following modes for my TP-Link T3U Plus (AC1300):
* IBSS * managed * AP * monitor * P2P-client * P2P-GO
@TomK32 the «AP» bit means it supports AP mode. Which T3U do you have — the nano or the bigger one?
Perhaps you can configure an AP using the 5GHz mode in hostapd.conf and let us know if it works? I’d like to get one if it does.
@odhiambo the big one. It took a while but I have it running as AP on 5Ghz on my Raspberry Pi 3B+
@TomK32 thanks for that update. I am going for it! I needed one like that for the very same purpose. And since it’s dual-band, please try and run an AP on each band.
is it support moniter mode
and packet injection
did you know answer of this question?If you know,can you share link that how i can install driver
The instructions are literally in this blog post/gist
The installation for AC1300 worked flawlessly on an old iMac 2006 with Intel and Lubuntu 22.04 installed. Thanks!!
thank you this installation works on ubuntu 20.04.1 kernal 5.15 !
No worries, happy this helped 😊
Thanks for sharing this clear guide.
To anyone reading, I got this working with an AC1300 T3U Plus (EU model) by following the steps exactly. Before installation, the T3U Plus showed up with lsusb as ID 2357:0138 TP-Link 802.11ac NIC but it was not recognised as a network interface. After installation, all functions of the device worked as expected.
Running iw list told me that the enabled capabilities of the T3U Plus were the following:
IBSS managed AP AP/VLAN monitor P2P-client P2P-GO P2P-device
OS: Kali Linux 2023.2 (Linux 6.1.0-kali9-amd64) installed on bare metal
