Hi, welcome to the community.
Please refer to https://www.tp-link.com/support/faq/1076/ to view the Linux-supported adapters and their compatible Linux kernel versions.
I'm afraid that your current kernel is more updated than the supported versions, since Linux is developed at an open system with various branches, we are no longer able to provide the corresponding official drivers. In this way, you may search for third-party websites like GitHub.com for compatible drivers based on the chipsets used by the wireless adapter.
Thank you very much and best regards.

Welcome to Linux! For your Archer T2U Nano WiFi adapter, it’s likely a driver issue since it uses the MediaTek MT7610U chipset, which often requires external drivers.
Here’s a guide to get it working:
1. Install Prerequisites:
Open a terminal and install essential build tools:
```bash
sudo apt update
sudo apt install build-essential dkms git
```
2. Download the Driver:
You can download and compile an updated driver from GitHub:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/aircrack-ng/mt76
```
3. Compile and Install the Driver:
Change to the cloned directory and compile the driver:
```bash
cd mt76
make
sudo make install
```
4. Reboot your system after the installation to activate the driver:
```bash
sudo reboot
```
5. Check if it Works:
After rebooting, check if the network adapter is functioning using:
```bash
iwconfig
```
If you still have issues, ensure that Secure Boot is disabled in your BIOS, as it can prevent third-party drivers from loading. Let me know if you need further assistance!
