Region : UnitedKingdom

Model : TL-WN881ND

Hardware Version : V1

Firmware Version :

ISP :


I checked the compatibility list found here.
For my device which is the TL-WN881ND it states: Compatibility - 64 bits - Compatible.

However after trying the solution found here I have the following problems:

After inserting the adapter correctly into my computer, no "plug-and-play" feature appears.
Therefore I need to download the driver via disc or via the online download found here.

After doing this and extracting the "Setup" application into it's own folder I can not find the Network adapter on my Device Manager, nor is there a pane named "Other devices". After scanning for changes I still can not find it.

If I try to use the "Setup" application I get the aforementioned message "The installer can not run on this platform."

I am running on Windows 8 64 bit.

I also have this wireless adapter for win8 while it's 32bit.

I contacted TP support and they told me the chipest of this adapter is Atheros AR9287.

Then, I went to Atheros website and downloaded driver. Now, it works properly.

You may find the corresponding driver and refer to the following link to install it manually. http://www.tp-link.com/en/article/?faqid=451
wish you success;)
