That should do it

I just found a solution a few days ago for my T2U Plus. I think it is the same drivers. The Plus has a big antenna. I can't tell you much other than it works.

Below installs drivers for TP-Link T2U Plus

sudo apt install git dkms
git clone https://github.com/aircrack-ng/rtl8812au.git
cd rtl8812au
sudo ./dkms-install.sh
sudo modprobe 88XXau

Regards,
Don

thank you soooooo mcuh, it really worked and i got exactly the result i wanted
YOU ROCK BRO

[telijah]

I followed these steps and am not getting the wifi to work. I suspect it may be due to the age of this old PC I put Mint on... Anyone able to further help? The modprobe command fails saying "modprobe: ERROR: could not insert '88XXau': Exec format error".

Thanks a lot! This driver worked for my Archer T2U AC600 Wireless Dual Band USB Adapter https://www.tp-link.com/co/home-network ... rcher-t2u/ on Linux Mint 20 “Ulyana” Cinnamon Edition

Hey Don,

I'm also going to jump on the bandwagon here and say thanks for this. As soon as I typed in that last command the device started blinking its little green eye at me, lol. I really must save this in my Mint installation guide.

Very happy with this, ta very much.

Thanks I now have the TP Link AC600 T2U Pluis working on Linux Mint 20.0 64b.

So my built in wireless driver dropped out when installing Linux mint, and now have bought an TP link AC600 USB wireless adaptor. I've tried some of the codes to install the driver for it, but i'm getting errors now and not sure how to progress. I started with:

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

then subsequently get:

sudo ./dkms-install.sh
sudo: ./dkms-install.sh: command not found

sudo modprobe 88XXau
modprobe: FATAL: Module 88XXau not found in directory /lib/modules/5.3.0-26-generic

Any help is greatly appreciated!!

try to use : "sudo make dkms_install" instead of "sudo: ./dkms-install.sh" . It worked for me (it will take a little time to install)
