I have bought
https://www.tp-link.com/au/home-networking/adapter/archer-t4u/
I want to run it on a Ubuntu 18.04 system. Various sites list it as having a RTL8812 chipset. TP Link does not say anything about it.
I tried to install all driver versions I found and none worked. Somebody mentioned that it may not be the RTL8812 chipse.
Vendor=2357 (TP Link)
ProdID 0(x)115 not found in the online database.
What is the chipset the product uses?
Anybody knows of a driver that will work with it on Ubuntu 18.04 kernel version 5.0.0-36-generic

The Archer T4U has the official driver for Linux (kernel 2.6.18 ~ 4.11).
https://www.tp-link.com/support/download/archer-t4u/#Driver
What is the hardware version of the Archer T4U? The chipset may varies due to the different hardware version.

For Archer T4U V1/V2, it is Realtek RTL8812AU. You can search online to get a suitable driver, like from Github or the chipset manufacturer's website.
May it help.

If I can suggest two things:
1) TPLink should list the chipset on the device datasheet. I originally thought it was 8812au (previous versions)
2) The driver on the TPLink web site can be updated from the repository I used once the pull request is merged.
good luck!
