I recently purchased a Brume-W from Amazon and wanted to add 5GHz WiFi as this device only has 2.4GHz. The dongle I selected was the TP-Link Archer T4U Plus. I read somewhere that it used the RTL8812AU chipset. Then I saw for the Archer T2U another person asking for help with drivers and the response was to compile a different driver which was for RTL8192EU ( GL.iNet Forum “t/adding-wi-fi-to-mv1000-brume/9610/79”) which is in fact installed with the current GL firmware 3.203 along with the driver for RTL8812AU chipset. Upon plugging in the dongle, nothing happens, and then I check the System Log and I get this message “kern.info kernel: [ 457.093441] usb 1-1.1: new high-speed USB device number 4 using orion-ehci.” After that I started researching and then found out that this dongle does not use RTL8812AU or RTL8192EU but RTL8822A or RTL8822B. I have found the drivers and source code and tried compiling them with no luck due to an Error 2 in my Ubuntu Virtual Machine when I add the driver source code to my shared folder and then trying to compile from that folder. I have Ubuntu 21.04 with Linux kernel 5.11.0-31-generic x86_64. Can someone help me compile the drivers myself or can someone compile them for me? Here are the sources I used.
Thanks in advanced.
