+#  TP-Link TL-WN722N _v1 vs v2/v3_
+
+The TP-Link TL-WN722N is a wireless network interface controller (NIC) that allows a computer to connect to a wireless network.
+There are three versions of this NIC: v1, v2, and v3. While all three versions are similar in many ways, there are some notable differences between them.
+
+One of the main differences between the TP-Link TL-WN722N v1 and v2/v3 is the chipset they use. 
+- The v1 version uses a `Atheros AR9271` chipset
+- The v2/v3 versions use a `Realtek RTL8188EUS` chipset
+
+The Atheros chip supports monitor mode and packet injection out of the box, but the Realtek chip requires changing the drivers.
+
+# Enabling Monitor Mode
+
+## v1
+
+Run the following command:
+``` shell
+sudo airmon-ng start wlan0
+```
+
+That's it, you should see that your card is in monitor mode when running the following:
+``` shell
+sudo iwconfig | grep "Mode"
+```
+
+## v2/v3
+
+### Upgrade your system
+
+On Debian-based systems (like Kali):
+``` shell
+sudo apt update && apt upgrade
+```
+
+On Arch-based systems (like Blackarch):
+``` shell
+sudo pacman -Syu
+```
+
+Then reboot:
+``` shell
+sudo reboot
+```
+
+### Install headers
+
+Debian-based:
+``` shell
+sudo apt install linux-headers-$(uname -r)
+```
+
+Arch-based:
+``` shell
+sudo pacman -S install linux-headers-$(uname -r)
+```
+
+### Change the kernel module
+
+Remove the previous driver module:
+``` shell 
+sudo rmmod r8188eu.ko
+```
+
+Blacklist the old module:
+``` shell
+sudo echo "blacklist r8188eu" > "/etc/modprobe.d/realtek.conf"
+```
+
+Clone the new driver:
+``` shell
+git clone https://github.com/aircrack-ng/rtl8188eus
+```
+
+Install the new driver module:
+``` shell
+cd rtl8188eus
+```
+``` shell
+make
+```
+``` shell
+sudo make install
+```
+
+Enable the new module:
+``` shell
+sudo modprobe 8188eu
+```
+
+Reboot:
+``` shell
+sudo reboot
+```
+
+### Enable monitor mode
+
+Kill all airmon-ng processes:
+``` shell
+sudo airmon-ng check kill
+```
+
+Set adapter to monitor mode:
+``` shell
+sudo iwconfig wlan0 mode monitor
+```
+
+Bring the interface up:
+``` shell
+sudo ifconfig wlan0 up
+```
+
+Test to see if packet injection works:
+``` shell
+sudo aireplay-ng --test wlan0
+```
