  • i know this thread is few months old but if you're still having the issue with your TP-Link T3U / RTL8822BU adapter, you could try installing drivers as I have described in here: askubuntu.com/a/1179178/928088 I too have the same adapter, and I've just installed in Ubuntu MATE 19.04 running kernel 5.3.4, and the adapter is working just fine.

Reset to default

Download this GitHub file.

Traverse to the download directory then do the following:
Compile using make command
Install using sudo make install

Note : To unload driver you may need to disconnect the device

Then Run the following commands:

cd ~
sudo dkms add ./rtl8822bu
sudo dkms install 8822bu/1.1

Reboot the system for new module to be picked up

P.S.
You might need to install dkms as well, if not already present.
To install dkms type following: sudo apt install dkms

  • I had to use 8822bu-1.1 for the last step: sudo dkms install 8822bu-1.1, and then I get the error: Error! Invalid number of arguments passed. Usage: add <module>/<module-version> or add -m <module>/<module-version> or add -m <module> -v <module-version>
