TP-Link AC1300 (T4U v3) not working on Ubuntu 20.10 #10

Closed staticdev closed 3 years ago

staticdev commented 3 years ago

I did the installation, reboot and still not working.

Some outputs that might be useful:

$ sudo modprobe 88x2bu
# outputs nothing - that is a good sign since it normally gives an error

$ lsusb

$ sudo iw dev
# outputs nothing

Thanks.

This should be fixed now. Please use the ./dkms-remove.sh script to remove the version of the driver you have now and then reboot. Delete the version you downloaded and download again. Follow the instructions and it should work this time.

Why? The new version of the driver that I very recently posted has many changes and additions relative to the previous version so I could not simply merge a few changes. I had to start with the new version of the driver and then work toward adding the various things I have done to improve the driver. Something I had not done yet was add the supplemental device IDs and yours was one of them. This means that the driver simply did not know if was supposed to support your device. It does now.

Thanks for the report. This is how we make things better. Let us know how it goes.

@morrownr I had to reinstall Ubuntu 20.10, and installed this new version (5.8.7.4). Things are much better now.. but still with a problem.

With the new version, my TP-Link AC1300 is now recognized, I can see and authenticate the networks, but when I enter the browser or anything, I can't use the connection.

New outputs:

$ sudo modprobe 88x2bu
# outputs nothing - that is a good sign since it normally gives an error

@morrownr UPDATE: after one more restart, the internet started working. I also created #11 to update the readme.

Thanks a lot!
