USB 2.0 802.11 n WLAN adapter drivers not working I have recently purchased a USB 2.0 wireless 802.11 n WLAN device but windows isn't recognising the drivers for it.

Download and install the latest drivers

Most modern devices will have drivers for the adpater built-in, but it’s always best to use the latest drivers available here on the website.

If you do not have an existing Internet connection your computer, you will need to download the drivers somewhere else such as portable media like USB drive flash drive that you can use on the computer where you need to install them.

Driver Installation

For Mac users running macOS/OS X 10.4 – 10.14, downloading the drivers from this page is required. macOS 10.15 Catalina is not supported as Realtek has not updated drivers and software for new requirements from Apple for DriverKit and 64-bit operation.

Click to see the drivers for your platform below.

Windows

For Windows 7, 8/8.1, and 10, if you have another active network connection, simply plug in the adapter and Windows will automatically download and install the latest drivers from Windows Update. If you do not have an active connection or wish to manually install the drivers click the link below.

For Windows XP and Vista you will need to download the drivers below:

Once the drivers are installed, a restart is recommended. You may use the included Realtek utility and/or your operating system’s standard built-in support for making a new wireless connection to an access point.

Mac

macOS 10.15 Catalina is not supported as Realtek has not updated drivers and software for new requirements from Apple for DriverKit and 64-bit operation. We do not have an estimate for updated drivers from Realtek and do not expect them at this time.

Linux (Previous RTL8188CUS model only)

This adapter and chipset has open source drivers with support for Linux Kernel 2.6.18 through 2.6.38 (compile required). Driver is already in recent Linux kernel versions 2.6.39 and later (kernel option CONFIG_RTL8192CU). To download and build the latest driver from Realtek, extract the Linux driver file, and run “make && sudo make install”.

There are no official drivers for the RTL8818EUS Wi-Fi chipset in Linux. There are some community drivers available on GitHub, but we have not found a community driver that is reliable.

Android

Android 1.6~2.3 and 4.0 devices may or may not, at manufacturer’s discretion, include the Android driver from Realtek on their customized Android builds. We have not done any internal tests as of yet and cannot recommend this device for Android users at this time- although this may be a great option for Android developers familiar with compiling drivers into android source.

For the very latest drivers, take a look at the Realtek website. This will take you to the drivers page for the Realtek RTL8188EU(S) chipset that’s at the heart of the USB-WIFINT (Realtek’s page has not been functional for sometime, retained for historical purposes).

Performance

The small size of this adapter makes it extremely portable and keeps it nicely flush with the USB port. However, the small antenna has trade-offs in terms of range and performance.

We recommend using with an access point or peer wifi adapter that is in the same room or nearby. The adapter works best with line of sight to the access point.

A laptop with built-in Wi-Fi antennas can cause interference and connection problems. We recommend to disable the internal Wi-Fi or to use a powered USB hub or cable to help get the nano adapter out of range of other signals.

Peer-to-Peer (Ad-Hoc) connections

Because of its small size, the adapter is especially useful for setting up a separate, peer-to-peer (ad hoc) connection between two wifi adapters. Search “ad hoc wifi setup” for details.

FAQ

Wireless

Q: The documentation from Realtek for the RTL8188EUS chipset indicates that the adapter is capable of 150mbps, and your Amazon listing indicates 150mbps, but I’m getting way less than that. Why is that?

A: Without getting into too many details, the 150mbps value represents the maximum “Link Rate” of the adapter, which essentially tells you what wireless specifications are being used for the adapter. Environmental factors such as surrounding radio interference, distance from your access point, and other issues will reduce the performance and possibly the link rate being achieved. 150mbps (18.75MB/s) is the theoretical maximum transmission speed that can be achieved providing all conditions are ideal, such as in a radio testing facility. For home and office use, there will always be factors that reduce performance.

If you are consistently seeing a link rate of 72mbps reported by your operating system, this is either due to a configuration error on the router you are connecting to, or because of limitations on the router. If the router’s 2.4GHz channels are set to use 20MHz widths, the link rate will never exceed 72mbps. To get the 150mbps link rate, the router must be using channels with 40MHz widths.
