TP-LINK Archer T8E 175 (AC1750) showing no networks on El Capitan

I have installed TP-LINK Archer T8E 175 (AC1750) with Broadcom BCM4360 chip which should work without installing any kexts on OS X El Capitan.

The card is recognized as "Third-Party Wireless Card" in system profiler.

It seams as card is working (there is WiFi icon in system menu) and I can turn WiFi on and off. But No networks are shown. I have couple of networks available and other devices connect to them without any problems.

Does anyone have this card working on El Capitan?

Hi, I am interested in purchasing this card for my build. Did you ever get yours working properly?

I think that card should work without any configuration.
After many attempts to make it work i have installed Windows 7 on another drive and tried the card. I experienced the same issues, available networks would be listed for a few seconds every 5 to 10 minutes and in that period I would click to join a network but never with success. Same things was happening on OS X.
So I called the support and we established that my card was defective. I have shipped my card back to the seller. I am waiting for a new one.
