USB 3.0 to Gigabit Ethernet Network Adapter no longer recognized on Dell Inspiron 16-5620 Windows 11
No Hardware or Firmware info on label (where to find?)
Has worked fine (plug & play) on 6 mth old pc.
For several days connection has been dropping
now when I connect adapter after startup, the pc beeps
and recognizes new device and asked what should be done with it.
When I connect adapter with Device Manager running the adapter
is displayed under Network Adapters but only stays for several seconds.
There was a firmware update outstanding from Dell, I applied that but
the problem continues.
I've tested the network cable and adapter on two other PCs (Dell XPS 2720 windows 10
and Dell Inspiron 27 7720 AIO windows 11) on both of these the adapter works fine.
co-pilot suggests I may need a v4 tp-link driver, if so, what's my route to success?
