Hello guys,

I'm using a Lenovo ThinkCenter Edge 72 as a server running Windows Server 2012 OS. I only realized after purchasing the TP-LINK TL-WN751ND that Windows Server 2012 is not supported as any of the OS platforms in the accompanying installation CD.
However, somehow, even without that, my PC was still able to pick our WiFi and successfully connect. Unfortunately, the machine keeps freezing every moment immediately after booting. I know it's very likely caused by the hardware's lack of support drivers, but could anyone kindly recommend anything that can help me run the WLAN with Windows Server 2012 in a stable manner? I'd really hate to shelve my new adapter.

Any assistance will greatly be appreciated.

Thank you

No driver for Windows Server 2012 but you can try the one for Windows 8 64bit.
Hope it helps.

Hi M Diamond,

Thank you so much for the quick reply.
I downloaded the latest drivers for this specific adapter but it seems the updated drivers only added for Win2000.
Any idea where I can get the Win8 drivers?

Thanks again for your awesome help!

Sorry I may mislead you...
TL-WN751ND is not compatible with Windows 8 as there is no driver for Windows 8. In this case, it is not compatible with Windows Server 2012 OS as well. :(

Hi M Diamond!

Thank you so much for your response! It's unfortunate that's the case.
Regardless, I appreciate your time spent in this though!

Thanks!
