I hope this is helpful to anyone looking for a driver to use a USB TP-Link Archer T2U version 3, Archer T2U Plus or T2U Nano wifi adapter with Zorin 15.1 These adapters use the RTL8811AU chipset. The information here will not work with The Archer T2U version 1 and 2, these use a different chipset.
You will need an internet connection, wired or wifi will work fine, I've tried both.
Open a terminal window and enter the following lines. I suggest copy/pasting them into terminal to avoid any mistakes.
If you had the adapter plugged in while doing this, unplug then plug back in, You should be good to go but if not, a reboot does no harm!.
Now open Network Connections, set up a new wifi connection. For Device set the USB adapter, (will look something like wlxd037553622b49 (A0:27:65:56:4C:49) ) then set the Band to whichever you want. Give it a useful name, maybe include the Band you chose then save it.
