Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to be recognized (no indicator lights go on) by the Pinetab, or any of the linux devices I have tried it with.
I see that actually there are multiple models of adapter named "TP-Link AC1300". One that is simply a dongle, one with a single large antenna, one with two antennae (which isn't really a dongle), and one with a kind of broad, flat, flip-over antenna.
Which one is working for you?
if you still have the packaging or receipt for the tp-link, the model number should be listed. you may just need to install drivers to get it working. i got my tp-link tu2b wifi/bt working by installing drivers from the AUR.
Thanks for the reply! I was able to install drivers on my other linux devices and got it working there.
Initial attempts at installing drivers on the pinetab2 did not succeed, but maybe that is a topic for another thread.

I am using tp-Link p/n: 0152502322, (AC1300 High Gain Wireless Dual Band USB Adapter) with hama (USB OTG Adapter) p/n: 00200311.
Plugged it in while the PT2 was off, booted up and had WiFi; only had to configure the conection settings.
Thanks!
That looks like the Archer T3U Plus? I have tp-Link p/n: 0152502265, (AC1300 Mini Wireless MU-MIMO USB Adapter) Archer T3U

Anyways, I tried it again and it works just as you described.
Not sure what changed. Perhaps it was the updates I installed on a wired connection?
