archer needs some preparation

#

to do it, you need to use smartphone internet connection-sharing over USB cable.

#

then you can set up the special Archer driver.

#

if you don't have smartphone that can do this, then you need Ethernet cable for sure to set it up. or buy a different wifi dongle that just works with linux, right out of the box.

after that, connect to internet via smartphone usb phone tethering

#
