Unable to get TP-LINK AC1300 PCIe wireless adapter working

[iraqwarvet31]

I just installed Centos 7.6 via Dual boot with Windows 10 and got Nvidia drivers to work successfully. However, I am struggling with getting this TP-Link AC1300 wireless adapter to work. I can't find any documentation about this specific adapter. Am I going to have to buy a new adapter? ifconfig doesn't show any wireless adapters and lspci shows the adapter. I'm rather new to Linux and any help would be appreciated, at least pointed the right direction. Additional information below. If more is needed let me know:

Hi,
You wifi adapter is the Broadcom BCM4360

read this from elrepo:

https://elrepo.org/tiki/wl-kmod

in my opinion the best choice is to get a new adapter fully compatibile with actual centos/rhel kernel.
