My TP-LINK Archer T2U Plus doesnt work

Which module are you referring to blacklist?

It may be that this TP-Link T2U has a meditek chip. So i found another module in the AUR.

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/mt7610u_wifi_sta/

Edit: Doesn’t look like its been updated for a while. I’ll keep looking.

Couldnt I just type?

echo "blacklist rtl8xxxu"

In any case, doing this & reboot doesnt fix the issue....

You could also try this one. My thought is that it is a Realtek but it could also not be.

I read that and used
yay -S rtl8812au-dkms-git

Then went to https://github.com/nlkguy/archer-t2u-plus-linux/blob/main/change_interface_name.md

But when writing iwconfig, while only using TP Link it says

iwconfig
lo        no wireless extensions.

When I have Internet with the other modem is

iwconfig
lo no wireless extensions.

enp9s0 no wireless extensions.

And I dont know how to use sudo nano.

This is an easy thing to fix. When you try it on a file, it opens up IN the terminal, and display the basic operation keys across the bottom of the screen. CTRL-X to exit and so on… It is included and suggested because it is simple to use, even without familiarity :grin"

You mean ^S, ^X,etc…? Because I type it but nothing happens.

Nano is an editor. You just use sudo nano and path to the file. Make the change and to save is ctrl o and enter and to close is ctrl x. Or you can just use ctrl x.

example: sudo nano /etc/default/grub

This opens the default grub file used for booting parameters if you were to edit it using nano.

Hold the CTRL and tap the letter. I guess the ^x designation is a bit old school! (like me- and like nano)

What does inxi -n show? I’m sure the TP-Link T2U Plus isn’t showing.

So this is my ifconfig

enp9s0: flags=4099<UP,BROADCAST,MULTICAST>  mtu 1500

And my lsusb

With these, what edits should I make, as https://github.com/nlkguy/archer-t2u-plus-linux/blob/main/change_interface_name.md says (If I ever needed)

"What does inxi -n show? I’m sure the TP-Link T2U Plus isn’t showing."
inxi -n show
Error 22: Unsupported option: show
Check -h for correct parameters.

Sorry inxi -n doesn’t work?

Edit: Anyway it doesn’t matter it shows the TP-Link under lsusb.

Network:
  Device-1: Realtek RTL8111/8168/8411 PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet driver: r8169 
  IF: enp9s0 state: down mac: 70:85:c2:3a:50:a5 
  Device-2: TP-Link 802.11ac NIC type: USB driver: usb-network

It’s showing as usb-network for the module.

You don’t need to edit anything.

Edit: Unless you are wanting to blacklist something.

I guess try this other one

yay rtl88xxau-aircrack-dkms-git

Edit: Reboot after

I FIXED MY ISSUE FINALLY

I just tried
yay -S rtl88x2bu-dkms-git

And then it started working, altought not connecting to a wifi, until I rebooted the PC, and now im posting using my TP LINK usb
Thank you for all your help!

Perfect…I thought it was a Realtek but didn’t see these other packages. Glad it’s working now.

Edit: What does the hardware show it as now?
