Hello,

I have recently bought a TL-WDN4800 PCI Express Adapter for my stationary PC.

However, the drivers do not seem to work on win10.
Win10 itself can find the card and use it for wifi, but the maximum speed i can get is 144mbit/s, and it only reaches maximum 60mbit if i use a speedtest service online.
The bandwidth i have available can reach up to 250mbit and does so on other devices.

The drivers for the card do not seem to be working, if i check it under devices i get "Qualcomm Atheros AR938x Wireless Network Adapter" and not any TP-LINK.
I did find the driver on http://www.tp-link.com/en/download/TL-WDN4800.html#Driver for win8.1 and tried to force an install on them, that changed the name to "TP-LINK something" for a few seconds and then reverted back to the former, the driver it wants to use is from 2006 and the one i tried to force an install of is from 2014.

Also, the most funny thing is that the software that came with the card does not recognise it at all, but windows does since i can use it, but at a limited speed.
The TP-LINK software just says "Please plug in a wireless network adapter."

Is there any fix for this so i can utilize the full speed of my bandwidth or did i just throw the money away on an incompatible product?

Best regards
Thyss

Hi guys,

I was having the IRQL Unexpected Value crash with windows 10 and I assumed that it was one of my drivers. I have updated the TP-Link drivers successfully and haven't experienced any issue... yet.

1. I would suggest going to this site to find out what type of chipset for the TPLink wireless card you have (used mine as an example): https://wikidevi.com/wiki/TP-LINK_TL-WDN4800
2. For my particular TPLink wireless card, the chipset was: WI1 chip1: Atheros AR9380
3. Then I went to this site to find drivers for Atheros/Qualcomm chipset since that is what TPLink uses (the link was active as of 9/23/15): http://www.station-drivers.com/index.php?option=com_remository&Itemid=352&func=fileinfo&id=1767&lang=en
4. Search the supported chipsets to make sure (ex. AR9380) its listed, then download.
5. After download remember the location where you saved it, then go into device manager in windows 10 (settings>devices (then in the right pane you will see related settings at the bottom, then click device manager)
6. With device manager open, navigate to 'Network Adapters'
7. Open that and find your wireless card (mine was called: TP-Link 450Mbps Wireless N Adapter)
8. Right click 'properties' over the wireless card
9. Then find the 'driver' tab, then hit 'update driver'
10. Then select browse my computer for driver software and then look for the root location of your download (step 5).
11. Install and enjoy a crash free computer.

Let me know if this works for you!

I found this driver in another thread...

http://www.station-drivers.com/index.php?option=com_remository&Itemid=0&func=select&id=255&orderby=2&page=2

Qualcomm 10.0.0.318 / .321 drivers are 'supposed' to work with this card. Can you give these a shot and report back? I have this same adapter and I'm curious if these drivers work before upgrading to windows 10.

Finding a working driver for windows 10 is a really tough. Especially when a software is from third party that needs external drivers. Just like playing subway surfers on windows 10 without having a proper driver is very difficult. Get to know some working tricks for subway surfers to get it on windows 10.
