as of right now I have no way of connecting to the wireless networks in my fresh install of Ubuntu 15.04. My wireless adapter is a TP-Link Archer T4u ac1200. I have another computer that I will be able to install drivers from over USB, but I'm not sure how. I have absolutely no internet at all and also, I can't install drivers in additional software either. I'm pretty sure Ethernet will work but I am unable to move my PC downstairs near my modem. How can I make it so that I can connect to wifi?

One of the packages you need, dkms, is on the install DVD or USB; insert it and drill down to pool > main > d > dkms and drag dkms to you desktop. Then install:
cd ~/Desktop sudo dpkg -i dkms*.deb Now download this package on some other computer and transfer it by USB or similar to your desktop: Right-click it and select 'Extract Here.' Now, back to the terminal:
cd ~/Desktop sudo dkms add ./rtl8812AU_8821AU_linux sudo dkms install -m 8812au -v 1.0 Reboot and your wireless should be working.
NOTE: This depends on the presence of build-essential and linux-headers-generic. Please check:
sudo dpkg -s build-essential sudo dpkg -s linux-headers-generic If either is not installed, I will edit my answer to propose a further solution.
