I am trying to get the Archer T2UH WLAN USB adapter to work on my Ubuntu 16.04.
I followed the steps in this answer. At first I thought my whole system was broken when I rebooted after installing the driver, because it always froze on login screen. I could not even switch to non-graphical mode with ctrl+alt+f1 and the likes. Then I booted into recovery mode and did the installation again. That did not help either, because now the whole thing freezes after login.
(Edit #1: When I am logged in and then plug in the device, I get the following error dialog just before it freezes and I cannot do anything anymore:
I know, it does not tell much, but I cannot click or press any keys after that, so I cannot show the details.
I also tried to plug it in with all other USB devices disconnected, in case of power supply problem. It does not help.)
(Edit #2: I also tried the driver from here. No improvement.)
However, I noticed, that it only freezes, when the USB device is plugged in / connected. So right now, I am writing form the same machine, but without having it plugged in.
I am wondering, whether this could this be a power supply issue, but then the T2UH should simply not work, but not freeze my system, right? So I guess it is a software (driver) issue.
What can I do about it?
I checked GitHub, but for that repository, there seems to be no Issue function available and the last development was a year ago.
Are there any experts here, who could guide me through the process of providing more information, so that I maybe can still get the T2UH working?
