Model: Archer T3U  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version:

Somehow when I plug the Archer T3U adaptor on my Windows 11, I just hear a chime but don't see it to show up anymore. I want to install its driver and see if that fixes it.

 

But on TP link page for this adaptor, it asks me which hardware version I have before downloading the driver. I have no idea. How do I know what hardware version my Archer T3U has?

  @Joseph-TP 

 

That might not be the correct driver for my adaptor. I'm seeing AC1300 Mini Wireless MU-MIMO USB Adapter on the page.

 

My adaptor is at this page: https://www.tp-link.com/us/support/download/archer-t3u-plus/v1/. I don't know why TP-Link call both Archer T3U. It's confusing!

 

On this page, I need to know the hardware version first so I can download the correct driver.

 

So how do I figure out the hardware version for my adaptor?

  @Mywifi123 The 1.0 and 1.6 are the same driver, I would try them first.  If they don't work use the 1.8 one as it says it works for 1.0 and 1.8
