    Alfa AWUS036NH Wi-Fi Adapter Driver: Publisher MediaTek Blocked?


    I have an Alfa AWUS036NH Wireless USB Wi-Fi Adapter, which has a Ralink RT2870 chip. Alfa don't have a Windows 10 driver, so I downloaded the driver from MediaTek (MediaTek bought Ralink a few years ago): MediaTek - Semiconductor Technology and Cutting-Edge SoC

    Their site says the driver is WHQL certified, but when I try to run it I get a dialog box saying the publisher has been blocked:


    Clicking How do I unblock this publisher? just goes to a Bing search, which is not very helpful.

    :)

    Windows 10 Drivers for Alfa AWUS036H

    I'm having the same problem. I have the Alfa AWUS036NH card and I have downloaded the drivers from Alfa them self and it still did not take care of the problem.. I don't understand
    this problem this Is a N class card!!!!!!!!!!!

    The card works on 7 but not on 10!!!!

    What is Microsoft doing to take care of this problem?

    Switching Network Adapters Hangs

    I have been using that tool from the beginning; it's never been very useful.

    I am using the Mediatek driver and the Alfa Wifi Antenna which are hinky to begin with.

    I was thinking of perhaps an alternate driver that you have found to work better with the Ralink chip.

    Thanks, Jimmy

    Thanks, but it didn't work. I used the PS option:

    get-childitem "D:\Downloads\Computer Drivers\Alfa Wireless\ALFA AWUS036NH (Ralink RT2870) Wireless USB WiFi Adapter\MediaTek (Ralink)" | unblock-file -confirm

    While running from CMD worked, I would still prefer to unblock the file, or at least figure out why it is blocked.

    Just a WAG here, but, probably the OS is looking for a digital signature, and either it's corrupt, expired or missing.

    You can't. Mediatek have to fix it.
