TP-WN722N
Do you mean TL-WN722N?
Have you installed the PET that I linked to on the previous page for the Atheros wifi driver?
I have a TL-WN721N adapter that uses the same Atheros driver. I set up wlanmaker in Xenialpup and it's working for me.

Yes TL-WN722N
First I tried without a driver. Then I installed the driver atheros_kernel_modules-4.4.95noPAE-xenial32.pet
Screenshot of the terminal already with the driver.
Android tries to connect, but claims an IP configuration error.
As if I configured. As far as I understand there IP dynamic is issued.
The adapter is new, android also does not work network

With the wifi adapter plugged in, run the command: lsmod | grep ath
Do you see: ath9k_htc?

ath9k_hw
Another modification?

So you do NOT see ath9k_htc?
Then your adapter must have a different chipset that is not compatible.
Are you using the TP-LINK adapter on the "server" machine or the "client" machine?
Does your "server" computer have a built-in Realtek adapter?
Is the TP-LINK adapter actually wlan1?

Yes, I do not see ath9k_htc
I have a home computer, nettop.
There is a network card (Realtek), but there is nowhere to connect it.
The interface I have wlan0

IThe command shows the presence of a wireless adapter. But there is no antenna protruding from the case and I did not know about it.

If this hidden internal wifi card is wlan0, then where is the TP-LINK adapter?
Is it also plugged in?
Then the command should be

Probably I've mixed the interfaces. wlan0 is an internal adapter, wlan1 is an external adapter- TP-LINK

1. Have you installed the version of hostapd from the Xenial repo? This is bad.
2. Your TP-LINK adapter has a different chipset than mine. I suspect that it is a Realtek r8188eu.

Run: lsmod | grep cfg

1. YOU NEVER ANSWERED MY FIRST QUESTION!
2. Your TP-LINK is a Realtek r8188eu. I also have one of these and wlanmaker works fine with it in Xenial.

hostapd from the default repository ubunt-xenial-main probably. Delete?
Posted: Fri 06 Jul 2018, 12:09

You do NOT need to do this - wlanmaker has its own version of hostapd.
Install the .deb again.

If I correctly understood to reinstall wlanmaker. I reinstalled.

Are you saying that internet sharing is now working?
Is the client computer getting internet access through usb0?
If not, how close is the client computer to the server computer?

I do not have a second computer, now Android. He sees the network, connects, then stores, then receives the IP and reconnects. And so it repeats. The distance is almost near. About a meter.
I do not go to the Internet from Android.

Then there is nothing else I can do to help you.
Wlanmaker is running correctly, but your Android client cannot use the connection it provides.
Try this: wlanmaker wlan1 sancxjo none
Does the Android stay connected?
However, this will not get it internet access.

Also reconnected.
In general, the wlanmaker is not adapted for my case.
