Model: Adapter  
Hardware Version: V6
Firmware Version: TP-WN821N

I recently bought TP-Link WiFi USB adapter model- TP-WN821N. (I dont know the version).

 

I am using Windows 10, 64 bit OS.

 

Since I do not have a CD player in my system, I downloaded the driver from your site (www.tp-link.com/in)

 

At the time of choosing the model, I was asked for the version of my device (which i have no idea where to find).

 

Hence I downloaded the latest version (V6). I ran the setup file. A pop-up window appeared for searching my adapter. Few seconds later, the search failed stating "Adapter cannot be found".

 

I made sure that there was no firewall protection and the adapter was inserted properly. 

 

I tried to install the driver manually as shown on the video in your website (Troubleshooting video).

 

But there is no ".inf" file available in the driver set-up folder i downloaded.

 

Can someone please resolve this issue for me? I am badly on need of this network adapter.

Thank you very much for your time and patience.

Please refer to this link to check the hardware version of the TL-WN821n:

then please refer to the following suggestions:

  1. Check if the adapter has been detected by the computer, such as https://www.tp-link.com/support/faq/284/ ;
  2. Try to put the windows into safe mode and run the utility again to have a look: https://www.tp-link.com/support/faq/791/
  3. As for manual driver installation, please refer to this link: https://static.tp-link.com/2020/202006/20200601/00015960-RTLWlanU_WindowsDriver_1030.38.0712.2019_Drv_00.0032.L.zip
