WLan Driver 802.11n Rel. 4.80.28.7.zip is crucial software designed to improve the wireless connection and performance of computers with Broadcom network adapters. This driver helps your computer communicate effectively with your wireless hardware, making it essential for a stable and fast wireless connection.

This driver ensures that your computer can smoothly talk to its wireless components. Installing this driver can lead to better stability in your wireless connections, which is very important for activities that need a steady and reliable internet connection like streaming movies, playing online games, or downloading large files. The driver supports several wireless standards like 802.11n, 802.11a, and 802.11b, which means it can work with various types of wireless networks.

After installing Windows 10 today my WiFi will not connect. I have tried updating the driver (Ralink RT5390 802.11b/g/n WiFi Adaptor) and it tells me its upto date. im assuming this driver is the issue but not sure how i can fix this.

However, the problem must be in windows network settings , because if I drop my LAN connection (fiber...) the Wifi connectivity stays on, as I would like to. Running both at the same time leds to drop in wifi connectivity, as explained earlier. So its a matter of network hirarki.

The issue may be that there was never offical compatiblity for the TL-WN725N V1 with windows 10. The chipset maker may have made one but TP-Link never confrimed the V1 of this adapter would work with Windows 10. Also it has been seen that each time MS updates Windows 10 there is always a chance current drivers will not work or have issues. In situations like that the Chipset make in this case realtek will have to look at the cause and develop a solution for that chipset. Since we do not give offical support for Windows 10 the best solution would be to check with Realtek if this particualr chipset will recieve an update for the new Windows 10 build.

I have been experiencing frequent disconnection to my wifi networks for a few weeks. After troubleshooting and resolving the issue for n-times, problems such as 'hardware and software issues', can't detect wifi 5.0ghz and unable to even detect wifi adapters still persist.

- results: Finally, I thought I fixed the issue. The connection lasted for a few days before I faced the same issue again. Right now, sometimes it works but sometimes it doesn't. I have to troubleshoot or uninstall the wifi adapter in Device Manager on my laptop to get back the connection after it stopped working.

3. I have never been able to detect 5.0ghz. I did some research and found that I can change the 'Properties' in the Advanced setting for the wifi adapter. In which, I selected the 'Dual band 802.11a/b/g' but it doesn't detect any 5.0ghz network available. I had tried to only select the 5.0ghz option yet it fails to work.

However, it is still unable to detect 5.0Ghz networks. In the Advanced tab of the Properties for the wifi adapter, dual-band 802.11a/b/g is selected. Yet, only the 2.4Ghz networks are detected. Do you have any ideas on what could be the cause?

Sorry, I have no idea. I have not seen problem this myself. I remember there being someone else who complained about this issue, but I do not remember how it was resolved. You can use the search capability to look for these if you wish.

3. I have never been able to detect any 5.0Ghz network since I purchased it. As my wifi adapter is not working, I found out that the wifi adapter of my PC should be able to connect to the 5.0Ghz network.

Right now, I faced the same condition again, whereby my wifi adapter has software/hardware issues (the result of troubleshooting). Even after I followed the above solution provided by Scott, it failed to last. I uninstall the wifi adapter yet again, but it doesn't work anymore. This issue persisted for two days, it works again after I troubleshoot the network. This cycle of sudden failure of the wifi adapter happens again and again. How do I resolve this?

Based on the reports, you are not using the Intel Wireless card. You can check the report you provided under the "Networking" section that the Intel* Dual-Band Wireless-N 7265 is not receiving a Default IP Gateway so it does not have internet.

According to the report you are using Realtek RTL8188EU Wireless LAN 802.11n, to connect to the internet, I searched for information about the device and it seems like it only supports the 2.4GHz band. However, the device is not from Intel* so we cannot confirm if the information is accurate. We encourage you to contact Realtek support so they can assist you and provide you with the information. You may also want to check this with ASUS*, there is the chance that the USB device is not fully compatible and may not work properly with your laptop.

Accordingly, Intel disclaims all express and implied warranties, including without limitation, the implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement, as well as any warranty arising from course of performance, course of dealing, or usage in trade.

Both connections run on their respective full speed, so it can be assumed that this is not a distance or wifi pollution problem. I also scanned the area, there is no other access point nearby. Both connection types run stable once it is established, transmitting data without errors and at full speed.

The annoying part is that it mostly establishes a wireless N instead of AC connection and there is no way to force the adapter to use AC only. I checked the driver settings, but there is only a limit toward the higher protocol (i.e. use up to wireless N), no way to force wireless AC only.

Please note that there is at least one more person in this forum (mentioned up in this thread) that has exactly the same problem but with two different routers. However, the reply given to him was rather poor, claiming "incompatibility" with those two different routers. While this might be true, incompatibility can come from both ends. Since it is the AX200 showing this problem and not my other devices, please try to find a practical solution. Because from a users standpoint it is the Intel AX200 that is failing and needs to be replaced or fixed, since the other devices are doing fine.

In this case, the issue may be the same, the wireless card may not be fully compatible with the router. We suggest you try the Recommended Settings for 802.11ac Connectivity in the Device Manager Advanced Settings.

If this was really the case, then why is it only the AX200 of all my AC devices that is creating troubles? You guys are brushing off everybody in the forum reporting this issue as "you router is at fault". So disappointing.

In this case, your AC devices work fine with your router because they are AC models. It is expected that the wireless card AX has these type of behaviors when is connected to an AC router, AX Wi-Fi 6, requires new protocols and updates, an AC router may not have the refreshments the AX needs, that is why router manufacturers sometimes provide firmware updates to comply with the new protocols the AX cards need.

If interfaced with a Wireless-AC AP, the AX modules are expected by the industry to work exactly as their Wireless-AC predecessors do. Anything less is simply unacceptable. You cannot expect that a Wireless-AX AP will be present; this is totally unreasonable and borders on the ridiculous.

What if the AX200 would connect only with A protocol at 54 MBPS to my router should I still be happy that it can at least connect? Because it is not an AX router? Do you believe it is ok just because it went down "only" to wireless N?

AX adapters (and all previous iterations of the 802.11 protocol) are supposed to be fully backwards compatible, that means there should be no issue at all connecting to an AC access point using an AC protocol.

By the way, the other guy in the forum with exactly the same problem but different routers (link up in the thread) received pretty much the same reply from a different supporter. Maybe the person to whom these kind of issues are forwarded is the problem?

> After reviewing the case, we determined that the problem could be related to compatibility due to the Router not supporting the AX protocol. So in this case, what we recommend to do next will be to get in contact directly with the manufacturer of the Router for them to provide the optimal settings configuration for the Router and also to verify if there is a firmware update available for it for you to install it:

Locate the drivers you downloaded back in Step 1. Run as administrator, and follow the wizard to completion. To run as administrator, right-click over the file you downloaded and select the option to Run as administrator.

Before finally closing your thread we want to provide you with the last recommendation. If the issue persists after the driver clean installation, please contact the router manufacturer for guidance on recommended settings and firmware updates.

I have a freshly installed Windows 7 box (upgraded to Windows 10 to get the machine made eligible, now reinstalling). I have a cheap wifi dongle. I do not know the manufacturer, nor where the driver dvd is. Plugged into the machine running Linux, it just works. It is small, black, and has 802.11n printed on it in white writing, and there are no other identifying markers. (For reference, it looks a bit like one of these: -mini-usb-wifi-adapter-802-11-b-g-n-wi/250459680.html)
