Hello, I have got a new tp-link TL-WN822N (V5.20) and when i plug it in, openwrt seems to detect it but I can't use it neither as a client, neither as an AP and was wondering if I was doing something wrong or openwrt just doesn't support the adapter.
Doesn't say what version he's got though Configuring TL-WN822N USB Wifi Adapter - #6 by LorneMalvo
You'd need to read dmesg to verify.
Its most likely a different version since I already looked over that post and it didn't solve my problem.
bummer!
dmesg it is then ....
I haven't used dmesg much before so I'm not exactly sure what i'm looking for
unplug the unit, and plug it back in, run dmesg directly afterwards.
the last output by it should be about the usb wifi adapter.
post lsusb too.
dmesg

never mind, you probably already have them installed (as in RTL8192EU on OpenWrt 18.06 )
but try iw dev wlan0 info
Interface wlan0
ifindex 8
wdev 0x400000001
addr 10:27:f5:65:a8:3f
type managed
wiphy 4
txpower 0.00 dBm
does your device already have a radio ?
if yes, then wlan0 might not be the right one.
It had one already.
just double checked and wlan0 is the right one, since there's only 2 adapters and one is connected. wlan1 is the pi's intergrated chip which is connected to my actual network and wlan0 is the adapter
something new started appearing in demsg, I just noticed it, happens everytime I plug in the adapter
