Archer T2U won't connect unless driver reinstalled every time
Hello,
I have installed Archer T2U V3.0 on a Windows 10 PC using the last available driver 190315_Win
Windows was replacing the driver with its own after restarting. I have now stopped this happening using the system security settings.
BUT, after a restart, even though the TP-Link driver is correctly assigned in the properties it will only see and connect to networks if I run the Archer installer again and replace the existing (correct) driver!
After the fresh driver install the wifi adapter will work until the PC is restarted. After any restart I have to run the driver setup.exe all over again to get it working, even though the TP-Link driver is already correctly assigned in the device properties!
Please, any helpful suggestions?
Thank you for that.
Unfortunately, the Realtek chipset driver didn't work for the adapter. I manually installed the 64bit .inf file but after that the adapter couldn't see or join networks.
After a full reinstall of the Archer/TP-Link driver the adapter is now working again but only if the PC is not restarted. Rolling back the driver to the Archer did not get the adapter working. It only works after a full setup.exe install.
I checked in case Win10 was using the Vulnerable Drivers Blocklist to stop the drivers from running but this Win10 version does not have VDB. I already stopped Windows from updating the drivers by itself, because it was replacing it with a Microsoft one after a restart. Now it is not replacing the driver after restart, but it still doesn't work, which is why I thought that maybe it was blocking it instead.
It's very frustrating. I have attached a picture of the machine and Win10 spec, in case this gives any more clues to perhaps another different driver instead.
Best wishes,
Anthony
