rtl88x2bu VS rtl8812au

To me this sounds either like bad drivers or bad hardware. There is a reasonably easy way to rule out drivers; test it in linux. Unfortunately this card is not supported by the kernel, however there are drivers available on github. You can test this in a "Live Linux" environment, where you do not have to install it to disk, all you should need is a USB stick and some patience.

Given that a T3500 didn't come with WiFi back in 2011, I'm guessing this is a USB network adapter. Maybe try this github repo. https://github.com/cilynx/rtl88x2bu

git clone https://github.com/cilynx/rtl88x2bu.git

https://github.com/cilynx/rtl88x2bu Seems like you have to compile these drivers to get the adapter working. I also have a TP-Link wifi adaptor and TP-Link doesn't support the newer Linux kernels and they haven't added it to the Linux kernel by default so it's a bit of a pain to get this working. But if you can figure it out and get it working congrats lol

Is the relevant information... The issue is the rtl88x2bu driver that is built-in to the kernel... It isn't very good. You could consider an alternative driver like https://github.com/cilynx/rtl88x2bu using these instructions.

If you are running Kali bare metal or if you have allowed USB pass through then it is most likely a driver issue. Take a look at this repo.

You'd first need to tether your laptop to your phone, then install the kernel headers (sudo pacman -S linux-headers), choose the one that matches your kernel version. Then install this driver. It's in the AUR. Make sure you get the one that says "DKMS" on it.

Hello thanks everyone for help I recently instilled Ubuntu Linux (version 22.04.03 LTS) and my Archer T2U Nano Drivers were not recognized since I am new, I looked for tutorials and they all assumed you have a working internet connection so can just download the git hub online. Since I don't have access to a Ethernet or anything else (tried Samsung tethering did not work) I am out of option tried installing the GitHub bit am major noob had no idea what to do. I think this is the right GitHub - aircrack-ng/rtl8812au: RTL8812AU/21AU and RTL8814AU driver with monitor mode and frame injection for anyone that can help guide me through an installation without internet thank you very much.

git clone -b v5.6.4.2 https://github.com/aircrack-ng/rtl8812au.git && cd rtl* && sudo make && sudo make install

Have you tried the aircrack driver? And what is the output for lspci and lsusb

Probably you need to install the driver for your wifi card. Just follow the instructions of this link to install the driver and then reboot the OS.

sudo apt -y install dkms git build-essential libelf-dev linux-headers-`uname -r` && reboot git clone https://github.com/aircrack-ng/rtl8812au.git && cd rtl8812au && sudo make dkms_install && reboot Plug in wifi card and hack away :)

I'm using Arch Linux (6.1.15-1-lts) with "TP-Link Archer T2U PLUS (RTL8821AU)" and these drivers (I have also tried using these drivers. I'm using an Ethernet connection and I've setup a hotspot in my PC (to use it with my android devices) (I don't have a Wi-Fi router at the moment, sorry). I'm getting serious ping losses in my android phone. Messaging apps are taking forever to send/receive messages (but not when using hotspot from Windows 10).

https://github.com/aircrack-ng/rtl8812au asumen that you already see this link only for reference, in theory if it works with any of your rt88xxau it will be work with the newest alpha Wi-Fi adapters such as AWUS036ACH.
