My problems started when I received an update for my wifi adapter (not the intel). It somehow knocked my adapter out of service, and nothing that I could think of worked. (More on that later.) As it is, I wanted a new adapter, so I install the AC-7265, installed drivers, but the computer still did not recognize the adapter.
3. In Control Panel, Device Manager, Network Adapters, right click on the Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 7265 and Uninstall it. Make sure you mark the option to "Delete the driver software for this device".
4. Reboot the PC or scan for hardware changes, check device manager and if an older driver is detected and installed, repeat the actions to uninstall and delete it as well. Repeat this process until the OS does not allow deleting the driver, or until the controller shows as Unknown Device.
How many more weeks/months have to pass before you guys come up with a viable solution for this garbage wireless adapter? Many of us bought machines without ethernet based on the advertised reliability of your dual band wireless adapters. I can't speak for everyone here but i personally spent a small fortune on my ultrabook and this has been the biggest disappointment.
I read review after review before purchasing and all that anyone talked about was intels skylake processor which makes me wonder if intel and pc manufactures pay these guys. How could they not have experienced these connection issues?
The amount of threads on various support forums including intels regarding this issue is staggering. I thought i was inconvenienced, schools, businesses etc bought dozens if not hundreds of machines with this adapter installed and the best advice you can give these institutional clients is uninstall/reinstall? That's like my company's IT guy asking if i restarted my desktop when tell him it's taking too long to boot!? If you can't adequately service these institutions what chance do individuals like myself have at recurving an immediate fix!?
I'm over it. HPs, Asuss(Asuss', Asus'ss...?), Lenovos and Intels support can go to "D-ell". You guys should seriously reconsider the word "support" in your job title. How in the hell is HPs warranty dept going to tell me they haven't heard of any issues relating to intels wireless adapter? I'm going to pull this adapter out like tom hanks pulled that cavity in cast away. And unless you want to me send me the 2015 ac-8260, 3165 or tri blend 17265 im going with your # 1 competitor. And when my new wireless adapter is finally clocking speeds that your bs product brief claims im going to screen shot it and copy/paste the crap out of it and let the world know the $20 piece of garbage you put in my ferrari ultrabook is just that!
And please for the love of God, do not reply with advanced adapter settings like change power sleep mode, fat channel intolerant, HT mode or your classic go-to...uAPSD. Unless you have a VIABLE SOLUTION don't say anything. I'll take that as "we sell bad products for a profit" and go about my business.

What's happening instead is on device manager I'm getting 'Remote Download Wireless Adapter' appear under 'Other Devices' instead of the normal 'BT Wifi Adapter 802.11' (off the top of my head). Running the drivers provided by BT seems to have no effect, and my dongle is thus not working at all (I'm having to use powerline ethernet in the meantime, but I'm having some ping spikes with it at the moment).
If the BT Dongle device is showing in device manager click on the device then click on driver then update drivers. Select the option Browse on my computer and point select the fie where you have stored the drivers you downloaded from BT and see if it will install the BT drivers from there.
Whenever there is only wired Internet connection, you can activate the SoftAP function of the ZW-WF07 after installing the bundled utility software, and create a Wi-Fi hotspot for mobile devices. This feature is useful when travelling to places where there is only one cable for Internet and mutiple people have to use the Internet.
Q2: Do I need any other things in my pc for this to work ?
A: Hi, You need an available USB port on your PC, then install the driver which is available for free download on our website. Besides, and you need to have an Internet wifi network available in your place. After you install this wifi adapter on your PC, you can select this wifi network, input the wifi key and connect to it for wireless internet connection.
Q3: The driver is not compatiable with my Linux, what should I do?
A: Linux is very complicated. You can refer to following link: (Includes the comments) and -realtek-rtl8812au-wifi-driver-linux-ubuntu/
I think I have the same bug happening to me. Any idea when a fix for this issue may come? Luckily I have a terrible wifi dongle I can use to connect my PC to the internet in the meantime, but I'm working with 10% of the normal speed right now. However, I'm using the Linux-lts already and I have this issue
ath9k_htc is working after downgrading to 5.7.2 and is broken in 5.7.3. Device is not being created while systemd log tells that firmware is successfully sent.
Kernel changelog tells that ath9k was changed in 5.7.3 somehow
Could someone please advise on a WiFi dongle that will work reliably with OSMC and support Ethernet-to-WiFi tethering? I have been reading several posts on the topic, but most of the information seems outdated or conflicting, so I am not really confident on how to proceed.
To be honest Tethering support on OSMC is fairly limited at the moment because connman can only support HostAP mode on wireless drivers that support nl80211 - and many drivers including rtl8192cu do not support nl80211.
I reviewed the lists corax kindly provided, but do not see an obvious entry for a particular adapter that uses the nl80211 driver. Are you able to provide a recommendation or two (amazon links etc) for devices tested and known to work?
The particular problem I am solving is that I am in a wifi dead spot at the office. 10ft away the signal is fine. I want to plug in a wifi dongle at the end of a 10ft USB cable to receive good reception.
The office wifi using 802.1X protocol so not all USB Dongles work. I bought a Edimax EW-7822UAC, but it does not support 802.1X protocol on OSX. The source of that information is the Edimax support person I talked to on the phone. He said none of the Edimax wifi dongles support 802.1X on mac (despite supporting it on Windows).
The difference is the usb drivers required to drive the dongle. Some dongle makers only create drivers for Windows. So you need to choose a dongle maker that provides Mac drivers to allow the dongle to work with your MacBook Pro.
The first two products that you referenced are Edimax products. Per the Edimax support staff none of the edimax products support 802.1x on OSX. Perhaps they are wrong. I tried to make this clear in my original post, sorry if that was not clear. Do you have any documentation that says that the products you referenced support 802.1x on OSX?
Unfortunately, I think the specifications are probably maintained by marketing people who are not motivated to point out any negative aspects of a product. Per the Edimax support staff: Edimax does not support 802.1x on OSX on any of their devices. This aligns with my experience of trying to use one of their products.
Despite assurances from ASUS support that the USB-AC51 works with Mac OSX 10.10 I cannot get past a message that reads: "WPA Enterprise is not supported". Their driver ships with a document about 802.1x support on Mac, but the instructions are not really instructions. They are a series of screen shots that do not resemble anything I see on my computer.
Problem: My laptop's network adapter (Realtek RTL8723DE) supports both 2.4 Ghz and 5 Ghz wifi bands, but only 2.4 Ghz networks show up in available networks. It is not a problem with my 5 Ghz network, because I'm able to connect to it just fine on other devices. Additionally, 5 Ghz networks used to show up on this laptop prior to a fresh install of Windows which I did about a week ago.
Thanks for the support, @Ub6424. Just out of curiosity, for the link you provided, what is the version of that driver? And for which exact device is it for? EDIT: I re-read your post and see now you mentioned this corresponds to Realtek RTL8723DE 802.11b/g/n PCIe Adapter. Sorry for missing that.
If I run netsh from cmd, and then WLAN show drivers from the netsh shell, I see the following: Radio types supported : 802.11n 802.11g 802.11b . Not disputing what you wrote about my wifi card, but aren't one of these radio types 5 Ghz? If my card were to support 5 Ghz, what would you expect to see in this output?
Thanks for the response, Paul. Everything I look up about 802.11n says that it is dual band and can connect to the 5 Ghz band. (Example: -access-guide.com/can-802-11n-connect-to-5ghz/). I realize my adapter only works for 2.4 GHz (the Realtek website confirms as much), so in my case, there's nothing I can do to make it recognize 5 Ghz bands, but I just want to clarify for others who might browse this thread - 802.11n itself can work with both bands, correct? It was my understanding that 802.11 g and 802.11 b only connect to 2.4 Ghz, but 802.11n can connect to either 5 Ghz or 2.4 Ghz.
How do I know if a Dual band USB WiFi dongle will work on a Raspberry Pi running Linux?I know that Linux must have a driver that supports the wifi chipset used in the dongle. But with the number of WiFi dongles available how do you choose?
