TP link archer T9UH

[marius77]

Well i got my old usb wifi working by changing USB cable, but since i need a long range external USB-wifi it would be nice getting this much faster archer T9UH working. I tried downloading the drivers (rtl8812au-dkms) but linux mint couldnt find my wifi card. Which i think is strange, since that driver in theory should work. Anyone else with this hardware issue?

Thank you!

I have recently installed a TP link archer WiFi adapter on Linux mint using the following link.


https://ostechnix.com/install-tp-link-a ... -in-linux/

Installation was successful, and wifi worked perfectly. But when I restarted the computer, it wasn't working. Does anyone know how to solve it?

Many thanks in advance.

Try this, one line at a time:

Code: Select all

sudo apt install git dkms
git clone https://github.com/aircrack-ng/rtl8812au.git
cd rtl8812au
sudo make dkms_install 

Reboot

I already have this driver I think.

I got this answer

mkdir -p /usr/src/8812au-5.6.4.2_35491.20191025
cp -r * /usr/src/8812au-5.6.4.2_35491.20191025
dkms add -m 8812au -v 5.6.4.2_35491.20191025
Error! DKMS tree already contains: 8812au-5.6.4.2_35491.20191025
You cannot add the same module/version combo more than once.

[zicodani]

The response

modprobe: FATAL: Module 8812au not found in directory /lib/modules/5.4.0-91-generic

[sleeper12]

Maybe you need a higher kernel, try the 5.13.

[zicodani]

Similar response

modprobe: FATAL: Module 8812au not found in directory /lib/modules/5.13.0-22-generic

[sleeper12]

Try:

Code: Select all

sudo make dkms_remove
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:kelebek333/kablosuz
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt install rtl8812au-dkms 

Reboot

[zicodani]

You are a magician....it works!!!

So many thanks. I was beginning to think about finding another adapter, as I read that TP link adapters can be a problem with linux. But I have rebooted twice now and it worked both times.

Many thanks again.

[sleeper12]

I guess it's your choice now to stay with the 5.13 kernel or go back to the 5.4.
