I've recently bought a Raspberry Pi 3 B+ and as I learned that this Raspberry Pi module only has one wireless interface I went ahead and bought a wifi dongle. The problem is that I have try various tutorials and but no progress unfortunately <(＿ ＿)>
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
These are the information of the wifi dongle I'm using:
- Name of the product: AC 1300 Mini Wireless Mu-MIMO USB Adapter Archer T3U
- Manufacturer: tp-link
- Standards: IEEE 802.11b/g/n 2.4GHz, IEEE 802.11a/n/ac 5GHz
- Interface: USB 3.0
- Security: WEP, WPA/WPA2, WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
If I run the "ifconfig" or "ip link" commands it will only show the default interfaces, i.e, the wifi adapter is not recognized as a wlan1.
When I run the "lsusb" I get this output:
Code: Select all

The only thing I know now is that I have to compile linux kernel on my Raspberry Pi along with the required driver. The problem is that I don't know how to compile linux kernel, and also don't know what driver is required and how to install it.
