    Unhappy TP-LINK TL-WN822N Wifi Usb Adpater Has Very Low Range in My Kali 2017.3

    Hi everyone, I recently migrated to kali 2017.3 from linux mint 18.1 and the biggest problem I am having is that I am unable to connect to any wireless network using my above mentioned adapter and let me tell you it was working perfect with linux mint(for mint also I manually downloaded the rtl8192 drivers then it worked well). For now kali detects my adapter but as I said the default driver which kali uses for my device has led to quality loss and very low signal. Then I tried to use same drivers which I downloaded manually for linux mint but then there is problem configuring it. I also tried installing official drivers from tp-link website but they are supported till linux kernel 3.6 only. I have tried going through many forums before asking question here, please help me!!!.

    uname -a
    -> Linux kali 4.13.0-kali1-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.13.10-1kali2 (2017-11-08) x86_64 GNU/Linux

    lshw -C network(for tp-link adapter)

    People seem to prefer the rtl8192eu driver over the rtl8xxxu for that reason.
    Have you tried Mange's repo?

    https://github.com/Mange/rtl8192eu-linux-driver

    That appears to be the go-to driver these days.

    Hope that helps and please let us know how you go.

    Them drivers never make it easy, hey?

    Try blacklisting rtl8xxxu. That should do the trick.
