Hi *

Couple days ago I got new TP-Link Archer T4U ver.1.0 and have installed it on Windows 10. According documentation:
http://www.tp-link.com/resources/document/Archer_T4U_V1_Datasheet.pdf
http://www.tp-link.com/res/down/doc/Archer_T4U(UN)_V1_UG.pdf (Ch.3.3.4 p.14)

This Wi-Fi adapter has option ad-hoc wireless mode (Software Access Point). However, in utility this option is grayed, so I cannot click it.

In addition I tried to enable SoftAP via command prompt:

[CODE]C:\WINDOWS\system32>netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow ssid=WiFi-AP key=Pa77w0rd
The hosted network mode has been set to allow.
The SSID of the hosted network has been successfully changed.
The user key passphrase of the hosted network has been successfully changed.




C:\WINDOWS\system32>netsh wlan start hostednetwork
The hosted network couldn't be started.
The group or resource is not in the correct state to perform the requested operation.






C:\WINDOWS\system32>
[/CODE]

I did small research and found this:

[CODE]C:\WINDOWS\system32>netsh wlan show drivers

P.S. As I see adapter uses Realtek RTL8812AU which has a linux driver on github, but also without AP mode.
