TP Link Archer T9UH on Ubuntu

28 Aug 2020, 09:54am TZ +05:30

This is a follow-on from my earlier post on TP-Link Archer T9UH on Manjaro Linux .

This time I did the installation on Ubuntu Linux (debian).

This time with Ubuntu Linux.

I have also recorded a video for this installation. Needed to do that for my friend. May be I will post that video here some time soon.

Let’s look at how I did it.

1. Check USB Connection #

This is just to make sure that we have the device connected.

If you get the message like above, they your device is connected correctly.

2. Install the Required Tools #

This is an obvious next step. Since we don’t have TP-Link supporting the driver. We need to build it from scratch.

3. Download the Driver Source code #

You can find the open-source version of the supported driver on —

Let’s Download the same.

4. Building the Driver #

You should be already in your cloned repository to begin. We did this earlier:

Let’s look at build steps:

In case you face any issues, don’t worry. The source repository clearly documents the build process.

Wish you All the Best #

Hope this would helpful for using the TP-Link Archer T9UH on Ubuntu. I wish that TP-Link provides Linux support soon.

As always, I look forward to your suggestion and comments. DM me on Mastodon ..

Last Updated on June 10, 2021 by Walid Salame 13 Comments

This list review the best kali Linux WIFI adapter Depending on the chipset.
People seem to get confused when we talk about kali WIFI adapter and wireless cards, they don’t know what they are, why do we need them and how to select the right one because there is so many brands. The thing is not every WiFi card support Monitor mode, and packet injection, that’s why we created this Kali Linux wifi adapter list .

1. The best WiFi adapter for Kali Linux
2. Dual band (2.4GHz & 5.0GHz) WIFI adapters
3. Single band 2.4GHz WiFi adapters

The best WiFi adapter for Kali Linux As has been said many times, there is no “Best WiFi adapter” Sometimes you need to work quietly and we need a tiny WiFi adapter, sometimes we work in the “concrete jungle” and we need the most powerful and most sensitive device with large antennas.
Some of us live in areas where there is an abundance of 5.0GHz ac Access Points, but in some places, there are simply no Access Points on 5.0GHz. Someone can easily afford to spend 50 bucks, and someone is looking for cheap adapters in the secondary market.

Our tasks are different, our environment is different and the best usb wifi adapter for kali Linux for us will also be different devices. But there are rules that work well:

• Adapters with large external antennas are usually more sensitive and powerful (this is important)
• alfa wifi adapter are a good choice for most.

Why you need a USB wifi adapter for kali Linux?

A USB wireless adapter is a device that you connect to your computer through a usb port and it allows you to communicate with other devices over wifi so you can use it to connect to wireless networks and communicate with other computers that use wi-fi,
now you may say that your laptop already has this and yes that’s correct most laptops and most phones already have this built-in but there’s two problems with that though

• The first problem is you can’t access built-in wireless adapters through kali if it’s installed as a virtual machine
• The second problem and the most important problem is the fact that these built-in wireless adapters are not good for hacking

so even if you install kali Linux as a main machine and then you’ll have access to your built-in wireless card but still you won’t to be able to use this wireless adapter for hacking because it doesn’t support monitor mode or packet injection.
So, if you want to be able to use it to wifi audit and do all the cool stuff that we can do in kali Linux with aircrack-ng and other tools you need to get a kali Linux usb wifi adapter.

Depending on the selected chipset, there may be nuances. The Realtek chipset has problems (solved) when attacking WPS, and the Atheros chipset seems to be incapable of capturing PMKID.

Wrong: at least Alfa AWUS036NHA (chipset: Atheros AR9271) can catch PMKID (for attacks on Access Points without clients, Learn about these attacks here).

Here is a large list of monitor mode wifi adapter and wireless adapter capable of injection.

With any of these models, you can grab a handshake and perform most of the wireless attacks.
In addition to the monitor mode and wireless injections, in some attacks, the WiFi adapter also requires AP mode and support for virtual wireless interfaces. See the article “ How to determine which WiFi adapter is suitable for Kali Linux ” for details.

If you purchased a dual-band (2.4GHz & 5.0GHz) adapter, you need to install the rtl8812au driver, to do this please follow this tutorial: how to Install rtl8812au Drivers on Kali Linux

RTL8812AU and RTL8814AU

The difference between RTL8812AU and RTL8814AU chipsets in the ability to support a different number of antennas.

• RTL8812AU support up to 2 antennas,
• Realtek RTL8814AU supports up to 4 antennas.

In some cases, depending on the circuit design of the device manufacturer or firmware, one antenna can be used only for transmission, and the other only for reception. Also, some devices work only in one range of choice, others – in two ranges simultaneously. This also needs to be considered when purchasing devices.

Some manufacturers, for example, Alfa AWUS036ACH , Alfa AWUS1900 , TRENDnet TEW-809UB , use additional chips (for example, signal amplifiers) and may have other nice features.

For those who decide to save money and buy products on sites like AliExpress on the above-mentioned chipsets. Antennas can be 2, 4 or even more, but very important for these 2.4/5.0 GHz chipsets is also MIMO, which, when using multiple antennas, increases the chance of capturing a handshake and is also crucial for achieving maximum transmission speeds data under normal use.

But, unfortunately, Chinese manufacturers often multiplex antennas instead of MIMO or simply place non-connected antennas.

So let’s see what’s the best wifi adapter for kali Linux in our monitor mode wifi adapter list and lets start with dual band.

Preliminary remarks (‘the best Kali Linux Wi-Fi adapter’)

As it was said many times already, there are no ‘the best Wi-Fi adapter for wardriving’. Sometimes we need to work covertly, and we need tiny Wi-Fi dongle, sometimes we work in “concrete jungle” and we need the most powerful and the most sensitive device with big antennas. Some of us live among a lot of 5.0GHz ac APs, but in some regions 5.0GHz APs are absent. Some of us don’t mind to spend 50 bucks, but some look for a cheap, second-hand adapter… We are different, our environment are different and for us the best Wi-Fi adapters are different as well.

• adapter with big external antennas usually are more sensitive and powerful (it is important)
• Alfa adapters are very good choice for the majority

My personal preferences are modern models of Alfa.

Here I collected a big list of Wi-Fi dongles which support monitor mode and wireless injection. With any of these models you will be able to capture a handshake and to perform the majority of wireless attacks.

rtl8812au and rtl8814au drivers

rtl8812au

If you bought a dual band (2.4GHz & 5.0GHz) adapter with RTL8812AU/21AU chipset, you need to install rtl8812au driver. In Kali Linux you can do it this way:

Reboot your system or unplug/plug an adapter.

Hot to install this driver on other Linux distributions, how to control TX power, how to switch between USB modes (2.0 and 3.0) and how control LED (LED), see this article.

rtl8814au

Please note that RTL8814AU chipset support is disabled in the realtek-rtl88xxau-dkms driver! A separate driver has been made for this chipset, which may conflict with RTL8814AU!

Therefore, if you do not need the realtek-rtl88xxau-dkms driver (now supports RTL8812AU/21AU chipsets), then uninstall it:

If you need it, do not delete it and check if they will conflict.

Run the following commands to install RTL8814AU:

A reboot may be required for the driver to work. For switching between USB2.0/3.0 modes for RTL8814AU, see here.

The difference in RTL8812AU and RTL8814AU chipsets is only in the ability to support different numbers of antennas. On Realtek RTL8812AU there are up to 2, on Realtek RTL8814AU, respectively, up to 4 antennas. In some cases, depending on the circuit design of the device manufacturer or firmware, antennas can be used only for transmission or only for reception. Also, some devices work in only one range of choice, others in two ranges simultaneously. Consider this when buying devices.

Some vendors, for example Alfa AWUS036ACH , Alfa AWUS1900 , TRENDnet TEW-809UB , hang an additional nice features in circuitry like an amplifier, etc.

In addition, keep in mind if you decide to save money and buy goods on AliExpress-type sites on the above chipsets. Antennas can be 2, 4 or even more)), the whole essence of these 2.4/5.0 GHz chipsets is also MIMO, which with numerous antennas increases, for example, the chances of catching a handshake, but unfortunately some China vendors often do multiplexing instead of MIMO or even place not connected antennas.

Built-in Wi-FI adapters for Laptops compatible with Kali Linux

Some laptops are shipped with wireless adapters which support monitor mode and wireless injection. For example Intel chips can do it. There are good Intel wireless drivers for Linux. Therefore, they are suitable for everyday usage in Linux and for wireless attacks. For a long time I have laptops with:

• Intel Wireless-AC 9560 [Jefferson Peak] (rev 10)
• Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6235 (rev 24)

They are pretty good to data transmission or capturing handshakes. I guess the all Intel Wireless-AC **** and Intel Centrino Advanced-N **** lines support monitor mode and wireless injection. So Intel internal adapters help me when I cannot use external Alfa adapters.

47 Comments to USB Wi-Fi Adapters with monitor mode and wireless injection (100% compatible with Kali Linux) 2021

I’ve tried to find out if chipset RTL8812BU supports monitor mode and injection. In WkiDevi I’ve seen TP-Link Archer T4U v3 which is listed here with RTL 8812AU has in fact the BU as well (v1 and v2 have the AU). I’ve come across other people asking about the BU one in other places, but there seem to be no anwser… yet. Maybe since it’s newer it hasn’t been tested yet. Could you please help me? I’m intested in a dongle with that RTL8812BU, because it has a good price.

I am also wondering if the ‘BU’ chipset from the TP-LINK ARCHER T4U VERSION 3 AC1300 RTLBU will be able to work in monitor mode. I haven’t bought it yet but I could be soon. The sources I have found have said BU WILL NOT go into monitor mode, however, it’s for my husband, and he says he feels like it could work. He’s a Linux junkie and the challenge excites him but I would like to know before also

Thanks for your answer, Dollskin. I also found somewhere else, after writing my message the other day, that the BU variant doesn’t work for monitor mode… But if it could be possible, if someone finds the way to make it work, I’d like to know. If your husband finally gives it a try and gets it or not, or you find some definitive (either positive or negative) answer somewhere, could you please give feedback here? I’d very mucn appreciate it!

I just bought one. No monitor mode 🙁

Just bought one myself because it’s so cheap I figured I might as well take a punt at it. Got monitor mode working by installing the driver in the first link and the following the instruction in the second link for copying over a file.

The one problem I have is that it can’t seem to set txpower using either iwconfig or iw. The user who posted the link to getting monitor mode working using that file copy says that set txpower worked for him, but it didn’t work in my case. I receive an error stating «SET failed on device wlan0 ; Operation not permitted».

Output of «iw list» shows that should be able to dial it up to 20dBm and 30dBm for 2.4GHz and 5GHz respectively. The following link suggests that might be due to regulatory domain compliance based on country code that’s set and it details a way to mod/change it. I set regulatory domain to BO and tried it again but same result. I’m not trying to set mine above the max stated (also tried 20dBm and 19dBm for kicks) so I think this should work without rebuilding the DB by adding a custom entry.

Curiously, the supported modes in the «iw list» output does not list monitor mode, but the wifi dongle goes into monitor mode and works fine when using iwconfig and has no trouble capturing with airodump-ng.

I’m specifically needing to use this adapter with bettercap. After digging into the bettercap code though, that application effectively uses «iw dev wlan0 set txpower fixed 30mBm» when setting «wifi.recon on» within in application (this enables capture) and will just fail if it can’t set that value. In the case of the RTL8812BU it does seem to fail because the set of iw commands supported by the driver that I have seems limited and I don’t believe this is an issue with the chipset itself.

Based on this I think full functionality is possible with some driver modification (or recompiling bettercap to just skip setting the txpower, but really don’t know whether or not that’ll work or what other effects it might have).

I’ve never touched driver code before and not even sure where to start but I’m going to tinker and see what I can find out.

Someone who has experience writing or modifying drivers, please see the first link I posted as a good starting point. I’ve tried many other drivers but none of them worked for this use.

Could you share what would be yor personal favourite team of USB dongles for auditing WLANs? I’m starting with this and just grabbed a AWUS036ac and a AWUS036nha.

I don’t have a team of dongles yet. How are you doing with yours?

Alfa is always the first choice in our house. As far as USB *donglea*, we have used TP Link network adapters (thst can be put in monitor mode) with great success.

For the moment, im fine with the Alfas, but I have to say that the best one is the TPlink 722n, in a long test the 036ac captured 10 handshakes, the 036nha 12 and the TPlink 17.

For the price is great, the only downside is that you have to take care of the version you are buying.

Thank you for your feedback! Yes, unfortunately the TP-Link 722N has to be v.1. It is nearly impossible to find in both online and offline stores, except for second hand selling in sites like eBay, which is a bit risky.

TP-Link 722N v3 uses RT5370 which supports IBSS, managed, monitor, mesh point, AP, AP/VLAN, WDS. Do you have an opinion on v3?

Can you please share your steps to putting the v3 in monitor mode? Thanks

I purchased TP Link T9UH V2 based on your advise and it is not having monitor mode

I had the same question with you about TP Link T9UH V2, but in it’s support page, if you choose Version 1, https://www.tp-link.com/gr/support/download/archer-t9uh/v1/#Driver there is an option
