[SOLVED] Wireless Adapter «TP-link Archer T3U Plus» on Linux

Post by DomLinux1 » Tue Aug 24, 2021 1:05 pm

Hello everyone, I’m a new linux user, so I’m sorry for some inaccuracy.
I’d like to use my wireless adapter «TP-link Archer T3U Plus» (https://www.amazon.it/gp/product/B0859M . UTF8&psc=1), so I tried to follow this guide (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XJ0gcA7 . WL&index=2) to install the Realtek rtl8812au Wifi Driver in Linux (it seems to be necessary for my adapter).
I ran these commmands in the terminal:

sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r) build-essential git

All commands have been executed correctly, but after the reboot, the adapter is stil not working, nothing has changed. Linux doesn’t recognize it.
How do I make it work?

Here my system info: Linux Mint 20.2 Cinnamon
Cinnamon Version 5.0.5

Please generate an overview of your system like this:
— Launch a terminal window (this is how to launch a terminal window);
— Make the terminal window full screen, to avoid chopped lines;
— Copy/paste this command into the terminal:

(if you type: the letter F is a capital letter, and don’t omit the space after inxi!)

Copy/paste the output in your next message.

Do the same with the following four commands:

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 

1 This is a referral code. Clicking on it and buying the product helps me maintain this site, but it’s perfectly okay if you don’t, either 🙂

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
