Model: TL-WN881ND  
Hardware Version: V2
Firmware Version: Unsure

I bought the TL-WN881ND so that I could get WiFi to my PC. I have installed the drivers and it does not detect my WiFi network. It does detect a few others at one bar such as the neighbour's network but not mine. This issue is occuring on Windows 10. I booted a live USB of Manjaro Linux to see if it would work there. Manjaro Linux detected it immediately and I was able to visit some websites and use it as intended. Why is it not working on Windows 10?

Hello! You are an ABSOLUTE LEGEND. I changed the channel to 6 and now I can connect to WiFi! Have an amazing morning/day/night.

 

You've made my week.

You can adjust some settings on the router, such as change the channel to 1, 6 or 11, the channel with to 40Mhz, then restart the wireless adapter on Windows 10. 

 

If it still not working, try to use the adapter on other slots and reinstall the driver with the link below.

Changing the WiFi channel will not effect connected devices, right?
