Hello @ErayHalidov ,

 

Supported operating systems of Archer TX50UH include Windows 10 and 11. It is best to use the adapter on a Windows system.

For more details, please refer to Archer TX50UH specification.

To use the TP-Link Archer TX50UH (Wi-Fi 6 / 802.11ax USB adapter) in Kali Linux, you need to make sure Linux has a compatible driver for its chipset. Here’s a concise guide:

1. Identify the Chipset

  • Open a terminal and run:


 

lsusb

  • Look for an entry like “TP-Link Archer TX50UH”.

  • Most TX50UH adapters use the Realtek RTL8852AE or RTL8852BU chipset.

2. Check Kernel Support

  • Kali Linux kernels ≥ 6.x often include Realtek 8852BU drivers, but older kernels may need manual installation.

  • Check your kernel version:


 

uname -r

3. Install Required Packages


 

sudo apt update sudo apt install -y git build-essential dkms linux-headers-$(uname -r)

4. Download and Compile Driver

  • For RTL8852BU, TP-Link provides Linux drivers, or you can use a community driver:


 

git clone https://github.com/cilynx/rtl88x2bu.git cd rtl88x2bu sudo ./deploy.sh

  • This uses DKMS, so the driver persists after kernel updates.

5. Load the Driver


 

sudo modprobe 88x2bu

  • Verify with:


 

iwconfig

or


 

ip link show

You should see a new wireless interface (e.g., wlan0 or wlan1).

6. Connect to Wi-Fi

  • Use NetworkManager, nmcli, or wpa_supplicant to connect to Wi-Fi networks.
