I can view 5ghz networks but can't connect

So I have an Archer T2U nano and I am using the drivers from [https://github.com/aircrack-ng/rtl8812au] Aircrack-ng It can discover the 5ghz networks but can't connect to them.

We don't even know what chip that is because you only named a brand and TP-Link has a habit of using different chips in different generations under the same label…

Re: I can view 5ghz networks but can't connect

Because it's not

Bus 002 Device 007: ID 2357:011e TP-Link AC600 wireless Realtek RTL8811AU [Archer T2U Nano]

The drivers cover a whole group/family of chips w/ a similar interface.

Now we still need some actual data on the incident.
Eg, idk… oh yeah - maybe a system journal covering the failed attempt to connect to a 5GHz network. Errors from the tool you use (iwd/wpa_supplicant).
Stuff like that might be helpful…

No, it doesn't.

Re: I can view 5ghz networks but can't connect

Oh I didn't know that sorry.

When I try to connect with wifi-menu it throws error

See "systemctl status "netctl@wlan0\\x2dbelkin\\x2d5G.service"" and "journalctl -xeu "netctl@wlan0\\x2dbelkin\\x2d5G.service"" for details.

And when I do systemctl status "netctl@wlan0\\x2dbelkin\\x2d5G.service" it gives me

Re: I can view 5ghz networks but can't connect

That's not helpful.

sudo journalctl -b | curl -F 'f:1=<-' ix.io

Make sure you've attempted to connect to the 5GHz AP during this boot.

Re: I can view 5ghz networks but can't connect

The password for the 2.4GHz AP isn't necessarily the same as that for the 5GHz AP.
Check the AP settings.

If you want to make sure that this isn't some weird NM bug, stop the NetworkManager service and try to connect w/ wifi-menu.
But chances are that you're simply providing the wrong password.

Re: I can view 5ghz networks but can't connect

And did you get any errors for that? The service is CamelCase, NetworkManager and you'll require root privilegues for that action.
Let's see where you're at:

find /etc/systemd -type l -exec test -f {} \; -print | awk -F'/' '{ printf ("%-40s | %s\n", $(NF-0), $(NF-1)) }' | sort -f

Also: did you check the link in my signature by now?

Re: I can view 5ghz networks but can't connect

Yea I turned off fast boot.

So if I turn off NetworkManager wifi-menu just throws aborted, and If I have NetworkManager turned on it will scan the networks but I still can't connect to it...
