If you have in your possession a Raspberry Pi and a TP-Link TL-WN725N USB WiFi and wondering how to configure and use the two together, then this tutorial is for you.
Note that TP-Link TL-WN725N USB WiFi module is as of yet not made available to work out of the box with Raspberry Pi i.e. TP-Link TL-WN725N USB WiFi module doesn't have its default driver module as part of the Raspberry Pi Linux Kernel code base.
To get the TP-Link TL-WN725N USB WiFi working on Raspberry Pi, you need to obtain its Linux driver module and its associated firmware file. Luckily, these files are made available on the internet and getting it all working together is not a major hurdle. Following are the steps required to get TP-Link TL-WN725N USB WiFi working on Raspberry Pi.
Step 1: First, update the code base for your Raspberry Pi kernel using the command -
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo reboot
Step 2: Now, get the Linux kernel driver module and its associated firmware for Link TL-WN725N USB WiFi adapter -
wget https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/80256631/8188eu-20140307.tar.gz //make sure you use the correct dropbox url for your Raspberry version
tar -zxvf 8188eu-20140307.tar.gz
sudo cp rtl8188eufw.bin /lib/firmware/rtlwifi //not needed anymore if your operating system is above 3.10.33+
sudo install -p -m 644 8188eu.ko /lib/modules/3.10.33+/kernel/drivers/net/wireless
sudo insmod /lib/modules/3.10.33+/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/8188eu.ko
sudo depmod -a
sudo reboot
Step 3: Now that you have all the Linux kernel modules associated with your Link TL-WN725N USB WiFi adpater on your Raspberry Pi hardware, its time to configure your Raspberry Pi to associate it with your local WiFi Network configuration. To do so, after logging into your Raspberry Pi using default username "pi" and password "raspberry", run a built in command "startx" to start the WiFi configuration utility application:
In this step, add the required WiFi Network SSID and password specific to your WiFi network. Once this is done, your device should start interacting with your WiFi network which can be seen by typing the command "ifconfig".
