Install TP-Link AC1200 T4U in Ubuntu 16.04

$ sudo apt-get install synaptic
search for rtl8812au-dkms and install
$ sudo service network-manager stop
$ sudo modprobe -rfv 8812au
$ sudo modprobe -v 8812au
$ sudo service network-manager start
$ sudo dkms status
rtl8812au, 4.3.8.12175.20140902+dfsg, 4.4.0-31-generic, x86_64: installed

Everytime kernel is updated, do these steps to recompile:
$ dkms status
$ sudo dkms remove rtl8812au/4.3.8.12175.20140902+dfsg -k $(uname -r)
$ sudo dkms install rtl8812au/4.3.8.12175.20140902+dfsg
$ sudo modprobe 8812au

  1. Hello!

    Thank you that helped a lot, but after a kernel update, dkms status shows two entries, and the wifi adapter is not recognized anymore.

    As always someone else had this problem already before me and it was solved like described in this thread: https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2335738&p=13548649#post13548649

    So I hope this helps for anyone who use your description to install it.

    Thanks again!
    CU Roman
