Solved Unsure which driver to download for my TP-Link TL-WN722N

[yamas11]

My system is a Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit. My drivers for my TP-LINK are old (from 2011 I believe) and I went to the download page, but am a bit confused.

TL-WN722N - Welcome to TP-LINK

I see two links for drivers, but the second link says beta drivers, while the first link says "Operating Systems: WinXp/Vista/7/8" but then the notes says "For Windows 8".

So I am confused, which driver am I supposed to download or do I have to download one of the utilities on that page?

Hi Welcome to Seven Forums..... This Driver should work >> TL-WN722N_V1_131113

Hi and thanks.

Ok, I will try that in a bit (Nephew is doing HW on the computer).

Just wondering on what the note "For Windows 8" meant when it already lists that "8" under operating systems.

Also, do I need to download that beta driver too, or should I wait for the noted problem to occur first?

Hopefully you will not need the Beta Driver .. As for the OS it probably works with Windows 8 also ...

That is confusing. Also notice that the first driver is 12.9 MB while the second is 1.22 MB. That is quite a difference. You may want to contact them by email or phone. There is a contact us link at the bottom and you can find numbers for the U.S. in the list.
Otherwise you could just try the first driver. If it doesn't work right you can rollback to the previous driver in Device Manager.

Hmm that is concerning. I trust that Maxie is confident in his answer but I'll double check around a bit just to be sure and I'll try sending them an email.

Good advice if it is working well .. Leave things as they are ...
