My TL-WN721N adapter stopped all of a sudden today. I've had it for 3 years and not a single problem until now.When I connect it, I hear the usual sound like always when something is connected to a usb port and the indicator light blinks, but my computer doesn't seem to recognise it because I get the "No connections are available" in the bottom right, where the network icon is. Device manager says it should work normally. had the lastest driver downloaded on my computer so I tried reinstalling it but nothing happened. I also tried plugging my adapter into different usb ports without any luck. I also thought that there could be something wrong with the usb port but all other devices I connected worked perfectly.Any ideas what else I could try to fix these issues or should I just get a new adapter?My pc is running Windows 8.1 if that info helps.

Uninstall the driver. Uninstall anti-virus software and disable Windows firewall.
Download the driver for Windows 8.1 and install the driver manually.

reboot the computer, press F8 to entrer safe mode. Uninstall the driver, utility. Then re-install them again.
