Hi@new-user123,

Thank you for contacting our community.

 

Please tell me what the operating system is?  If there is any error message, please take screenshots with error message.

 

Is it a new network adapter? If you failed to install driver, please refer to What should I do if I cannot install the driver of TP-Link Network Adapter in Windows computer?

Hi,

 

According to my experience Windows 11 should automatically install drivers for an Archer T3U or wn-823N on its own.

 

Can you please check in the Device Manager of Windows whether there is already a driver installed for the Wi-Fi adapter or not?
