I recently installed Manjaro on my Main PC that has a USB TP-Link Archer T3U Plus WiFi card.
I can’t make it work.
What did you tried?
This too?
I have tried this, it doesn’t work.
Have you tried a different kernel? Are you dual-booting with Windows? If you are, you need to disable Windows fastboot as it will cause problems on the Linux side. Please post an inxi output.
Please read:
Yes, I am dual-booting and I have already disabled fastboot on the Windows Side.
this is the inxi output:

Check to see if the adapter is blocked:
rfkill list
Check this post as it is a possible solution:
Hello azel04,
Welcome and have fun with Manjaro 
Recently we had a similar topic before, but I’ll write it here again in more detail. As far as I know, your wifi device has a RTL8812BU chipset from Realtek. In this case, the following driver from the AUR will work : rtl88x2bu-dkms-git by RinCat.
Don’t forget to install the appropriate kernel headers. For kernel 5.12 you can do this e.g. via the terminal with the command sudo pacman -S linux512-headers.
Then you can then install the PKGBUILD rtl88x2bu-dkms-git via Pamac, either using the GUI or the terminal. After that, restart the computer. In Pamac you have to make sure first, that AUR support is enabled in the preferences.
I have to do this command? I have the linux512-headers installed.
pamac build rtl88x2bu-dkms-gitExactly. To make it easier, you could also search for rtl88x2bu-dkms-git via pamac GUI, after you activated the AUR in it. Both work equally well, of course. Basically it doesn’t matter if you use Pamac, yay, trizen or similar as AUR helper. The GUI of Pamac makes it easier for the beginner.
Thank you!
Boot up was slower tho. Is it normal?
SDDM and KDE took longer to load.
Depending on your hardware this can happen. For example, when the desktop already starts, but the WiFi connection is still being established. This should be solved by deleting files left over from building the driver, so-called orphans.
how do I do that?
can i use yay -Scc ?
If you want to use yay, the command yay -Yc should do the job to delete the orphans. You can also additionally delete the cache by using yay -Scc It is up to you.
It says it deletes this stuff:
