Bought this TP-LINK Archer T3U USB adapter and it is not working out of the box.

Command lsmod output is

Found there are two repository with necessary sources.

I tried compiling jeremyb31 source and couldn’t get it up in modprobe.

Any tips on how to make it work?

Took sometime and got loaded (verified using lsmod). However the device did not work. Could be kernel version incompatibility as kernel-native is installed and the driver authored is for older kernel.

You can certainly use kernel-lts and checkout an elder commit with compatible kernel version.

Thanks @doct0rHu for the tip. I would like to try this later as I’ve some work in progress.

There is nothing like close/resolve this topic. I want someone to do that.
