TP-Link Archer T2U Plus a.k.a AC600 High-Gain

[Important] this repo is under scrutiny as the driver is not working properly , meantime this is working , this repo will be updated shortly

1) Driver for Debian Based Linux Distros (Ubuntu/Kali Linux)(x86_64
2) Driver for Raspberry Pi (Raspbian OS / Kali)(ARM)
3) Uninstall Driver in Linux
4) Troubleshooting

TP-Link Archer T2U Plus a.k.a AC600 High Gain is a very affordable dual band wireless adapter compatible with kali linux and supports monitor mode , soft AP mode,packet injection etc. it supports both 2.4 GHz and 5GHz band and has a 5dBi Antenna for better signal reception. 2357:0120

Why should i buy this adapter ?

This adapter has a Realtek RTL8821AU Chipset at its heart. RTL8821AU has plenty of developer support in linux community and has driver for Kali linux , Parrot OS .etc Archer T2U Plus is on sale under 15 USD ~ 1000 INR , which is a very affordable price for Beginners in Pentesting. 2357:0120 is the USB ID.

Where to buy

👉 Amazon
👉 Flipkart

Driver for Debian Based Linux Distros (Ubuntu/Kali Linux)(x86_64)

Update the package information :

sudo apt update

Install dkms and git :

sudo apt install dkms git

Install Build Dependencies :

sudo apt install build-essential libelf-dev linux-headers-$(uname -r)

Download the Driver files using git :

git clone https://github.com/aircrack-ng/rtl8812au.git

Navigate to the Downloaded directory :

cd rtl88*

Install the Driver

sudo make dkms_install

if the installation is aborted , check existing dkms modules and uninstall previously installed driver

👉 Uninstall Existing Driver

Check the wireless interfaces by typing iwconfig.

if you encounter any weird interface name , rename the Wireless interface by following below steps

👉 Change/Rename Network Interface

Driver for Raspberry Pi (Raspbian OS / Kali)(ARM)

Update the package information :

sudo apt update

Install dkms and git :

sudo apt install dkms git

Install Build Dependencies :

For Raspbian OS

sudo apt-get install raspberrypi-kernel-headers

For Kali for ARM

sudo apt-get install build-essential libelf-dev kalipi-kernel-headers

Download the Driver files using git :

git clone https://github.com/aircrack-ng/rtl8812au.git

Navigate to the Downloaded directory :

cd rtl88*

For Raspberry (RPI)

Then run this step to change platform in Makefile, For RPI 1/2/3/ & 0/Zero:

sed -i 's/CONFIG_PLATFORM_I386_PC = y/CONFIG_PLATFORM_I386_PC = n/g' Makefile
sed -i 's/CONFIG_PLATFORM_ARM_RPI = n/CONFIG_PLATFORM_ARM_RPI = y/g' Makefile

But for RPI 3B+ & 4B you will need to run those below which builds the ARM64 arch driver:

sed -i 's/CONFIG_PLATFORM_I386_PC = y/CONFIG_PLATFORM_I386_PC = n/g' Makefile
sed -i 's/CONFIG_PLATFORM_ARM64_RPI = n/CONFIG_PLATFORM_ARM64_RPI = y/g' Makefile

In addition, if you receive an error message about `unrecognized command line option ‘-mgeneral-regs-only’` (i.e., Raspbian Buster), you will need to run the following commands, then retry building and installing:

export ARCH=arm
sed -i 's/^MAKE="/MAKE="ARCH=arm\ /' dkms.conf

Install the Driver

sudo make dkms_install

Check the wireless interfaces by typing iwconfig.

👉 Change/Rename Network Interface

Uninstall Driver in Linux

check the module name and version using the command sudo dkms status.

$ dkms status  
8812au, 5.6.4.2_35491.20191025, 5.10.63+, armv6l: installed  
rtl8188fu, 1.0, 5.10.63+, armv6l: installed.```

here module name is 8812au and module version is 5.6.4.2_35491.20191025.

use sudo dkms remove <module>/<module-version>.

$ sudo dkms remove 8812au/5.6.4.2_35491.20191025 --all  

Deleting module version: 5.6.4.2_35491.20191025 completely from the DKMS tree.  

Done.

delete this file using sudo rm -rf /var/lib/dkms/8812au/.

Troubleshooting

On Raspberry Pi 4 and Debian 10 image with kernel 5.10.103-v7l+, I get this error.

user@pc:~/rtl8812au $ sudo make dkms_install

make: *** [Makefile:1786: dkms_install] Error 1

In my case, there is a build directory, but it was empty. I added a symbolic link in /lib/modules/$(uname -r) to the source files as follows:

rm -r /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/build
ln -s /usr/src/linux-headers-$(uname -r)/ /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/build
make dkms_install # now it works

Wrong chipset for the T2U Plus, fails to see 5G networks

According to multiple sites, eg https://deviwiki.com/wiki/TP-LINK_Archer_T2U_Plus, the T2U Plus uses the RTL8811AU chipset, not the one described in the README here.

When using this driver, my adapter fails to see 5G networks. Using this one, everything works.

So, a pretty big deal as this name and README for this project seems to be wrong.

It is showing Unable to locate package linux-headers-4.19.191-gd9bc2e7446bb E: Couldn't find any package by glob 'linux-headers-4.19.191-gd9bc2e7446bb' This kind of problem

Adapter is not working on ubuntu 20.04 LTS

I have installed all the drivers for ubuntu 20.04 but it is not working on my system. I also reinstalled it but the same problem is happening. So, help me regarding this.

Unable to connect to Wifi

After the next Ubuntu 20.04 update, wifi no longer connects. There is a list of available wifi, there is a connection indication, but the connection itself does not occur. Everything works on windows 10. Please tell me what can be done

Memory Requirements

Hey, it looks like my raspberry pi 3b+ with 1 GB memory cannot build the driver because of memory issues.

It stays on overnight without luck, and freezes the ssh session etc.

Is there any other way that skips build stage and directly install the driver?

Resolution of Ubuntu changed for some reason

Hey, new ubuntu 20.4 user here!
So, Installed the Dirver but immedietly after the resolution changed and stuck at 1024X768 & no other options are available.
Please tell me how to fix this.
Thanks.

Supported OS and Kernel for TPlink t2u monitor mode

Hi,

this is not an issue, just want to seek information on which OS and kernel versions are best to run monitor mode for the TPlink archer t2u dongle.

I need to run monitor mode on VMware, I can run any OS or kernel versions that would suffice.

Thanks,
Shahab

USB Antenna not detected after power loss

Hi,
I use the archer t2u in an embedded application, in which I need to shutdown the Ubuntu 20.04 computer by cutting its power source.

If I cut power like this and then restart, the USB wifi dongle is not detected anymore. The LED of the antenna is not green. It is even not possible to make it work by unplugging and plugging it back. I need to perform several restart to recover it.

However if I do a clean reboot using shutdown/reboot commands, the driver is loaded and is able to detect the antenna successfully straight away.

Any idea of what could be wrong in the loading of the driver at boot ?

Other USB devices are always detected/working no matter how I reboot. Which makes me think it is related to Dmks

Thanks in advance,

Can't install the driver

How can I remove this driver after installing it?

Hi, i have successfully installed this driver in Raspberry Pi 4 running Ubuntu 20.10 64-bit.
But I don't have the wifi adapter, since I decided to go for a later model, (Archer T3U plus).
So i was wondering if i should to prevent any conflict, delete this driver for T2U plus before I install anything else.

Thank you guys... u made the steps very easy to follow..

5.17 Ubuntu Kernel

The drivers don't work for 5.17 kernel is it possible to update to match with upcoming kernels

Monitor mode on TPlink t2u only captures 11bg rates and not 11n

Hi,

I have tried using the Linux driver from this repo on Ubuntu 22 on VMWare with host running Windows 10 and it only captures 11bg rates. I don't even see Beacons coming.
Is there anything wrong in the hardware I have received?
I have also configured the monitor mode in channel-36, still see only 6 mbps packets in 5 GHz.

I have also tried with Kali-22 which comes with default driver for TPlink t2u on VMware, the behavior is identical and it only captures 11bg packets.

Any help here is much appreciated!

Here is a screenshot of the capture

Thanks,
Shahab
