TP-Link wireless USB Adapter driver Windows 10

In our effort to continue providing end users with excellent experiences and satisfactory service, TP-Link is working to provide Windows 10 compatibility for as many of our products as possible.

The list below provides information regarding product compatibility and will be updated frequently to reflect driver availability.

Notes:

1. Models marked with "Yes" can work with Windows 10 automatically. For models marked "No", Windows 10 users can try to install the Windows 8 or Windows 8.1 driver manually. For models marked "Partial", only the 2.4GHz band can be used with the Plug & Play driver on Windows 10. Installing the Windows 8.1 driver may allow you to use both bands. TP-Link will release official Windows 10 drivers for these models as soon as possible. Review the FAQ for more information about installing drivers manually.

2. How do I determine the hardware version of my TP-Link product?
