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

@Thyss If you just install your card, Windows with install automatically that Atheros driver. My experience is that it works for a while and then crashes. But I have downloaded latest drivers from tp-link and found the Windows 8.1 drivers will work in Windows 10. This is an old thread so probably nobody cares anymore. But there are two versions of this card. The older one has a speed of 300 Mbps, the newer one has a speed of 450 Mbps. I have found that the latest drivers for the newest version has the drivers that will work on the older card as well. I am having no problems with stability with this driver. However, there are a lot of things that can affect speed. Normally you have to have a 5Ghz signal or 2x2.4. Otherwise you wiill only get 144 Mbps. To get it in 2.4Ghz you need to use a 40 Mhz channel, but whether a device (router) will support that in 2.4Ghz depends on the design. Many do not and limit you to using a 20Mhz channel.
