Hi,

 

May I ask what is the exact USB hardware ID of the Bluetooth of your Archer TX55E V4?  (use the command "lsusb", look for something like "ID 13d3:**** IMC Networks Wireless_Device")

 

I have a Wi-Fi card of a different brand that also uses an MT7922 module. Its Bluetooth device has the ID 13d3:3568 and it has been working out of the box with recent versions of the Linux kernel.

What is the different brand that worked for you?  (As for TP-LINK, I have a TX55E V2.6 (US), which in the online specs says it has the Intel Chipset - your experiece appears to have been different w/r/t the advertised v. actual chipset.)

Also, if PCIe wireless is working for you now on Linux, (a) what distro are you using, (b) what kernel version, and (c) did you find general installation notes for your driver (e.g. did you have to compile the source and make it work that way?)

Currently, I am on Ubuntu 24.04.2, kernel version 6.8.0-63, and while I heard that cards were working out of the box with Ubuntu 22.02, %iwconfig shows "no wireless extensions" for my install.

I fully expect that I am missing some simple setup steps, but it is also possible that Linux support for this card is simply poor, in the US.

Thanks.

Hi,

The card with the MT7922 module I have is from ASUS, but it doesn't matter in your case

The AX200 (or AX210) M.2 modules that Intel sends to TP-Link are indentical to ones they send to company X or company Y.

As the Intel AX200/AX210 modules have been supported out-of-the-box in Linux for a long time (already in 5.x kernels) there must be some other issue.

Can you please check whether your computer actually detects the Archer TX55E V2.6 by running the lspci and lsusb commands?

~$ lspci -knn
.

    Subsystem: Intel Corporation Wi-Fi 6 AX200NGW [8086:0084]
    Kernel driver in use: iwlwifi

.
(the output of the lspci command is shown shortened here)

~$ lsusb

Note that some users have reported here that their Archer TX55E identified as an "Intel AX210", which means they somehow got a free Wi-Fi 6E upgrade from TP-Link. So, there is a chance that instead of "AX200" you might see "AX210" and slightly different IDs in the output of the commands.
