[SOLVED]Realtek TP-Link Archer T3U Issue

[captain_16]

Hi all,

I have the same issue trying to run Mint with an Archer T3U. I tried all the commands on this forum(I am a newb at Linux).

I tried to run the inxi -Fxz command, as another forum thread mentioned, but the terminal just gets stuck(maybe I installed too many Realtek drivers )

Any suggestions please ? I am close to giving up on Mint after 2 hours of DuckDuckGo and pasting commands...

Thanks,
AC

Try this, one line at a time:

Code: Select all

sudo apt install git dkms
git clone https://github.com/cilynx/rtl88x2bu.git
sudo dkms add ./rtl88x2bu
sudo dkms install rtl88x2bu/5.8.7.1 

Reboot

You might need to reinsert the adapter if still not working.

Thank you, but had already tried those from other threads. See result attached.

Showed as nothing blocked.

However, after I switched to the "nouveau" nvidia drivers, everything is fine now. I can use the wifi..

Thank you very much.
