I read the page you shared. my usb adapter's version v2.
must i buy new adapter be v1 :) Must i buy adapter of version v1?
or is there another resolve? etc. new driver for v2 version? ,
sudo airmon-ng
sudo airmon-ng check
sudo airmon-ng check kill
sudo airmon-ng start wlan0
How do you know wlan0 is the right interface for your wifi adapter? wlan0 is generally assigned to internal wifi adapter. It can be different for external one.

sudo airmon-ng check
sudo airmon-ng check kill
sudo airmon-ng start wlano

I tried the above codes
sudo airmon-ng :
PHY Interface Driver Chipset
null wlan0 r8188eu
sudo airmon-ng check :
Found 4 processes that could cause trouble.
If airodump-ng, aireplay-ng or airtun-ng stops working after
a short period of time, you may want to run 'airmon-ng check kill'
PID Name
1871 NetworkManager
1885 wpa_supplicant
1888 dhclient
1896 dhclient
sudo airmon-ng check kill :

how do i know or change which have its wlan0 interface?
i disconnect usb adapter of pc and use iwconfig but wlan0 interface disappear
sudo airmon-ng start wlano :
It is sudo airmon-ng start wlan0
i use iwconfig and the mac adress appear as modem's mac adress.
i think wlan0 interface the modem's interface. how can i change with usb adapter?

Don't pay attention to it. wlan0 is the interface name which is automatically assigned by network-manager. Have you re-run the above commands?
yes i tried again but same result unfortunately
I read the page you shared. my usb adapter's version v2.
must i buy new adapter be v1 :) Must i buy adapter of version v1?
or is there another resolve? etc. new driver for v2 version? ,
Nope must be V1 for the 722N
yes i tried again but same result unfortunately
Can you show the output again? This time type commands correctly.

This is not correct. The v2.0 chipset fully supports monitor mode. It does require installing some drivers that enable support.
https://github.com/mfruba/kernel
I followed the instructions (all three lines) and monitor mode works perfectly on my TL-WN722N v2.0 with the Realtek RTL8188EUS chipset.

Kali Live encrypted persistence. It remembers my packages, not sure about the kernels.
I bought the same device (V2, apparently. When trying to "make" the drivers according to the referenced site, all I get is this:
root@kali:~/Desktop/kernel/drivers/TL-WN722N_v2.0-Ralink/rtl8188EUS_linux_v4.3.0.8_13968.20150417# make

make[1]: *** /lib/modules/4.12.0-kali1-amd64/build: No such file or directory. Stop.
Makefile:1368: recipe for target 'modules' failed
make: *** [modules] Error 2
I have run all update commands
apt-get update
apt-get -y upgrade
apt-get -y dist-upgrade
and it swears up and down that 4.12.0-kali2-amd64 is installed, but it won't boot it.
uname -r
still shows
4.12.0-kali1-amd64
and won't budge.
So I guess the first step for me is to get Kali to boot the most recent kernel so the makefile knows where to go. But I don't know how to do this, and there doesn't appear to be an update-grub or anything. Or maybe I just misunderstand the whole shebang.
So what do I do now?

Since my last response, I also created a new VM full install to VDI) and ran only the update commands
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
apt dist-upgrade
And then tried to make again:

Response from above commands afterward:
root@kali:~# ifconfig wlan0 down
root@kali:~# iwconfig wlan0 mode monitor
Error for wireless request "Set Mode" (8B06) :

root@kali:~# ifconfig wlan0 up
So no dice.
In case I haven't said, thanks for the way you guys keep trying. There's got to be a way.

OK, I've been talking with the guy who posted that video on getting it working. He says that the distro he used was 2017-1, NOT 2017-2. I'm in the process of getting the 2017-1 ISO now, but it's slow going as it looks like the official, verified torrent is gone and I have to use a direct link. Just in case someone can help me speed this up, or for future reference, is there anywhere to get the previous, official torrents for such times as these?
And this sure is a lousy way to try to save $15, assuming the V1 TL-WN722N is still even available.

Nothing has much changed in 2017.2 except the kernel version. Ask that person what binaries did he install before compiling the driver from its source.
Have you installed linux-headers? sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)
When I use my usb adapter, my interface for the adapter is usually wlan1. Where my internal wifi chip is always wlan0. Try
ifconfig wlan1 down
Iwconfig wlan1 mode moniter
Ifconfig wlan1 up
If you didnt get an interface wlan1 under
the command airmon-ng. Try rfkill to see if anything is locking up your interface. Rfkill wlan1 or something like that, rfkill -h will give you better info.
I think problem in /lib/modules/ folder
there is only 4.12.0-kali1-64amd and we need 4.12.0-kali2-64amd, but i have no idea how to instal kali 2 module
