Скачать или смотреть TP-Link AC600 USB WiFi on Raspberry Pi - How to Compile and Install the Driver from Source (Works!)

Tired of seeing "Linux: No" on every review for the TP-Link AC600 USB WiFi adapter? I was too... until I got it working perfectly on my Raspberry Pi.

In this no-BS tutorial I walk you through:
Identifying the chipset with lsusb
Finding the right GitHub driver repo (rtl8812au / rtl8821au)
Compiling the driver from source on Raspberry Pi (32-bit or 64-bit)
Speeding up make with -j4
Installing the module and making it load on boot
Setting up DKMS so it survives kernel updates
Verifying it works after reboot
Checking if it supports Access Point mode

Yes, this actually works. Yes, I did it on a real Raspberry Pi (not some x86 box). And yes, you can do it too even if you're still getting comfortable with the terminal.

Timestamps in the video so you can jump straight to what you need.

If you're trying to add a second WiFi radio, improve range, or turn your Pi into a proper access point - this is the video that finally makes the cheap AC600 dongle useful on Linux.
