How do I install the Archer T4U v3 (EU) driver?

As above, does anyone know how I install the Archer T4U v3 (EU) driver? It’s a TP-Link product that advertises it works with Linux. However, the official site isn’t much help (https://www.tp-link.com/uk/support/download/archer-t4u) and I wonder if there’s been an update from the community since that last driver was released.

Thanks in advance.

First, just try it and see if it works out of the box.

If not, try install rtl8822bu-dkms from AUR.

I don’t think that’s installing properly from AUR. Final four lines from Terminal:

Error! Bad return status for module build on kernel: 5.19.5-arch1-1 (x86_64)
Consult /var/lib/dkms/rtl8822bu/5.8.7.4/build/make.log for more information.
==> WARNING: `dkms install --no-depmod rtl8822bu/5.8.7.4 -k 5.19.5-arch1-1’ exited 10

Did the installation finish, or not? If it did, those warnings may be disregarded.
Otherwise, try re-installing via the lts-kernel.

Also, you could look here, for possible errors during install:
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/rtl8822bu-dkms

Yes, it finished. After a reboot I wasn’t able to find the device.

This file will tell you why it didn’t compile, so it will be worth looking at it.

Is it safe to share the log?

What could be unsafe about it? So, yes!

I got this to work in the end by installing the rtl88x2bu-dkms-git version. Thanks all!

Don’t forget to mark the post that solved it for you (this one?) as “solution” pls, as it helps others, searching for a similar solution.

Thank you.

This is the solution. Worked for me, too. Here’s the git repo. Please note that bit about the RTW88 driver in the README. I didn’t need to do it, but you might.
