    TP-Link TL-WN353D not compatible w/ win7?


    Hey guys, so yesterday I bought a brand new TP link TL-WN353GD PCI wifi card, installed it, (it auto installed) and it always says windows could not connect to _____ and whatever. I did that diagnostics it suggested and it told me there was a problem with the router, but after that, all the other diagnostics said that there was no detected problem. I have the drivers disk, etc. tried installing using other drivers, nothing. My router is fine though, it works on my $12 ralink wifi card from a china internet store, so I know it works. Im stuck using it now. Thanks in advance guys.

    It doesn't show up on the Windows 7 compatiblity list so it may or may not work correctly for you, it's hard to say for sure.

    Looking around a bit I found this which may help you to get Windows 7 to find those drivers for you.

    So the adapter was able to see the wireless network but can't log in, or it cannot detect the network at all? Sometime the router might need to be told that a new device is trying to connect to it through detailing the MAC of the adapter.
