Archer T2U Plus. Monitor Mode on Windows 11
After seeing several internet references about using the Archer T2U Plus in Monitor Mode on Windows 11, I purchased one. Install drivers from TP-Link support download site. But it appears that this adapter does not support Monitor Mode. (I now find articles stating that it does not support Monitor Mode on any platform.)
The T2U Plus is convenient, inexpensive, and would be great for a project. Before putting it in the "Box of Stuff I don't use", can anyone confirm thatMonitor Mode on Windows 11 is Yes... or NO ?
Thanks

Hello @UnWired ,
The System Requirements of Archer T2U Plus mainly include Windows11/10/8.1/8/7/XP, Mac OS X 10.9-10.14. Please see Archer T2U Plus
As far as I know, Monitor mode is primarily a Linux-based feature and is not natively supported on Windows operating systems, including Windows 11. The articles you may have found online about using Monitor mode likely refer to Linux environments rather than Windows.

Thanks for taking the time to respond. The T2U showed up in a list of WiFi Adapters suitable for Monitor Mode. At under $15 and very compact, it would be great for a project which requires monitoring several WiFi channels (one adapter per channel). I went with a pair of Panda PAU0C adapters. Twice the cost, but reasonably compact and support Monitor Mode on Windows 11.
