Model: Archer T2U Plus  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version:

Basically I have the Archer T2U Plus and it was working fine with the latest Catalina driver.

When trying to install on Big Sur Beta though, the driver installation always fails and the antenna is not detected properly.

This is because Apple changed the driver installation backbone to DriverKit and all drivers have to be updated to support Big Sur.

 

Seeing as a lot of people around the world use this Wi-fi antenna, your development team should update the driver for Big Sur.

Please, also let me know if there is some sort of workaround to get it to work under Big Sur.

@Kathy_Z 

Hi, any update on this? Big Sur public update just around the corner so would be ideal to get these drivers available before then.

 

Thanks

@Kathy_Z Dear Kathy

Our concern is due to the fact that we need to be able to use the adapter.. Please give us a solution.. Do u have any other device that will work with the MacOS Big Sur?

Hello! Has there been any developments with this. I only just updated my Mac OS to BigSur and didn’t see any of these. Has TP Link released a driver for this or do I have to buy an different wireless USB adapter that does support Big Sur. Thank you and I hope to hear from you soon!

Thanks for the quick reply! If only the dev team worked as fast as you:) it seems they could use someone like you to help that stay on top of drivers and upcoming updates for their hardware. A return is not an option unfortunately. I’m sort of stuck with a Mac with no wifi as I don’t know if any wifi adapter has a Big Sur driver. If anyone knows another option, I would appreciate the help! Thank you all the same

But they didn't even put out a full release for Catalina... Only a dubious beta #TPLinkSupportSucks
