usb wireless dongle.

cookiemonster · Sep 27, 2014

Hi all, I recently had my daughters desktop down to clean and format all went well until I tried to connect to the internet, it will only connect through the cable I tried the usb wireless dongle I have but it couldn't find the drivers so I left it thinking when she pluged In her usb wireless dongle it would find it but she is getting the same message, would it be better to get her a wireless card, she has BT fibre up to 40mbps, if so any sugestions.

The driver needed should be included in the box of the dongle.
And if you know the make/model of the dongle you can download the driver from the internet.

cookiemonster · Sep 27, 2014

no sorry there was no drivers included and I have googled the name and can't find any even on the TP Link web page, how would these d

then the brand is tenda, not TP link. thats why you cant find it.

tried to connect to the tenda page, it tries to connect to the page but can't, any advice on the wirless cards.

Mussels · Sep 27, 2014

the tenda website has gone offline since i got that link.

try again later, sounds like you've been installing the wrong drivers, which is why you've had no luck.

I think, according to your post, this is the page you need.

For V1:

According to the following:
https://wikidevi.com/wiki/Tenda_W322U_v1
WI1 chip1: Ralink RT3072

Note: RA-Link is under the Mediatek Brand now and they take care of RAlink.

Chipset MFR:
http://www.mediatek.com/en/downloads/

RT3072 USB DL Link: http://www.mediatek.com/en/downloads/usb/
Agree to terms, captcha (stupid req.), download

Try direct link though if you want: http://www.mediatek.com/AmazonS3/Downloads/windows/IS_Setup_ICS_081414_1.5.38.101.exe

For V3:
According to the following:
https://wikidevi.com/wiki/Tenda_W322U_v3
WI1 chip1: Ralink RT5372

Chipset MFR:
http://www.mediatek.com/en/downloads/

Use same download link for V1.

Try steps I indicated above, if not let us know.

Tenda's website is always slow...a 5mb download took me over 5 hours once...

I have the w311m awesome dongle if you have the software..

remixedcat · Sep 28, 2014

another reason I told them to go to the mediatek (ralink)'s site instead it's much faster and they are the chipset mfr. You get stripped down bloat free drivers that way if you get the chipset drivers.

cookiemonster · Sep 28, 2014

sorry none of them worked I have given it up thanks for all the help and advice. I have decided to get her this one.

Mussels · Sep 28, 2014

I own that one. as long as you install the drivers from the TP link website it will work just fine.

cookiemonster · Sep 28, 2014

Thanks I have just downloaded the drivers from the site.

cookiemonster · Oct 2, 2014

Hi I tried the new dongle on my setup and I got it working, my daughter tried it on her system and she got the exact problems as she got with the old dongle, ie cannot find drivers. usb problems I will go and have a look at her system soon as I cannot go out very much because of health problems but on a worst case could it be the motherboard. This is her system.

its not the motherboard, its just driver issues. find it in device manager and manually update to the correct drivers.

cookiemonster · Oct 3, 2014

Hi thanks I will give both a go and let you know what happens.

Deleted member 67555 · Oct 4, 2014

I'd try the dongle on other USB ports and then I'd go to the mobo manufacturers website download and install the most current drivers for the mobo.

cookiemonster · Oct 4, 2014

Hi jmcslob she tried all the usb ports and when I formatted it I used all the drivers from Gigabyte for that mobo hopefully try and get out to see the system for myself tomorrow or Monday and have a muck about.

the wifi drivers wont come from gigabyte. odds are either

1. the wifi driver is incorrect
2. the driver is correct, but the settings are not - so a driver reinstall wont fix it, unless its a different driver and wipes the settings.
