Welcome to Linux! For your Archer T2U Nano WiFi adapter, it’s likely a driver issue since it uses the MediaTek MT7610U chipset, which often requires external drivers.
Here’s a guide to get it working:
1. Install Prerequisites:
Open a terminal and install essential build tools:
```bash
sudo apt update
sudo apt install build-essential dkms git
```
2. Download the Driver:
You can download and compile an updated driver from GitHub:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/aircrack-ng/mt76
```
3. Compile and Install the Driver:
Change to the cloned directory and compile the driver:
```bash
cd mt76
make
sudo make install
```
4. Reboot your system after the installation to activate the driver:
```bash
sudo reboot
```
5. Check if it Works:
After rebooting, check if the network adapter is functioning using:
```bash
iwconfig
```
If you still have issues, ensure that Secure Boot is disabled in your BIOS, as it can prevent third-party drivers from loading. Let me know if you need further assistance!
