Hi Team, I am facing issue in configuring wifi ( hotspot ) driver, using Archer TX1U nano Ax300 mode,

I didn't find drivers for the following operating system configurations.

OS : Ubuntu 24.04 LTS

Kernel : 6.11.0-29-generic

Any suggestions for this please.

Hi,

You could try this driver:  https://github.com/shenmintao/aic8800dc

  @woozle can i use this on raspberry pi os kernel 6.6

Hii,

I'm having issues with driver installation for my archer tx1u dongle on my Ubuntu machine

The official driver from tp-link download center is giving error. Ig because it's officially supported on older kernels(<6.2) than mine(6.17).

OS: Ubuntu 25.10

Kernel: 6.17.0-8-generic

pls suggest solutions,

I need wifi :(

Hi,

The easiest solution would be to buy a different USB Wi-Fi adapter that is already supported in kernel 6.17.

Another solution could be to downgrade to Ubuntu 25.04 with kernel 6.14 and then use this https://github.com/shenmintao/aic8800dc driver.

Note that this driver does not contain the USB ID 3625:0110 of the Archer TX1U Nano, but it can be integrated into the driver by merely modifying one file. For example, like how it's described in this thread -> https://community.tp-link.com/en/home/forum/topic/842344?replyId=1620186

A more challenging solution would be to take the relevant changes (i.e. "commits") related to kernels 6.15, 6.16 and 6.17 from this https://github.com/shenmintao/aic8800d80 driver belonging to the similar aic8800d80 Wi-Fi chip and implement them into the source code of the above mentioned driver for the aic8800dc Wi-Fi chip. It's cumbersome, but doable.

Thanks a lot for the solution, it worked for me :D

Here's the updated repo: https://github.com/saish660/aic8800dc

but the dongle gets recognized as a storage device on startup, and I have to manually switch it's mode every time after startup using  

sudo usb_modeswitch   -v 0xa69c   -p 0x5721   -M "5553424312345678000000000000061b000000020000000000000000000000"

How do I permanently fix it?

Many thanks for creating the fork with the modifications required for kernel 6.17! Great work!

I've never had to bother with the mode switching on my Ubuntu PC. The TX1U always shows up as "3625:0110 AICSemi AIC8800DC" right away. It also did so before I installed the driver.

Now that I checked the log (see attached file) I see that something weird is happening. usb_modeswitch doesn't get triggered, but instead the TX1U appears to reset itself, which results in the mode being switched. I don't know why this happens. (but I am not unhappy about it )

For comparison I tested with another USB Wi-Fi adapter that also has a built-in storage for the driver and this one is doing a proper usb_modeswitch, fully automatic without my intervention. (also in the attached file)

As a cross-check I've just plugged my TX1U into a Windows PC and the internal storage device came up normally and was readable. So the TX1U I have is certainly not broken.

My installation of Ubuntu 25.10 is still fairly "fresh" and it was a clean installation. I haven't tinkered around with it much yet.
