I am trying to setup an Archer T4U in Ubuntu 14.04 kernel 3.19.0-28-generic with the driver on the downloads site:

Archer_T4U_V1_150821.zip

After unzipping the folder was renamed from "Archer T4U_V1_150821" to "T4U_V1_150821" to remove spaces. Then the following commands were run:

user@vb:~/Downloads/T4U_V1_150821$ sudo make clean

Can anyone identify why /home/user/Downloads/T4U_V1_150821/core/rtw_cmd.o cannot be created?

Your model is Archer T4U?
Out of curiosity, where did you get the driver for linux? As I know, T4U is not compatible with Linux.

Hi M,

There is a new driver on the downloads page:

http://www.tp-link.com/en/download/Archer-T4U_V1.html#Driver

It unzips to a folder with spaces in the name, which is not a good start. I found a blog post suggesting a fix:

http://sempike.blogspot.co.uk/2015/09/linux-mint-ubuntu-compiling-ac1200.html


I am on a new install so may not have all the dependencies to build the makefile, but I have no idea what may be missing :(

Hey git,

Use this repo:

https://github.com/abperiasamy/rtl8812AU_8821AU_linux

and follow the instructions to compile with dkms. You will need to recompile each time you upgrade the linux kernel.

:)
