Windows 10: Mediatek Chipset based Wireless USB Drivers

Hello!


I have been having an issue with my ASUS USB-AC55. The drivers based on Mediatek chipset are not working properly in Windows 10 Home x64 since update to 1709. Also tried with clean install of Windows 1803, and still the issue persists.


The widows wireless Taskbar icon shows that the device is connected, yet no network traffic of any kind works. It says not connected or unavailable.


I proceeded to download the newest driver version from mediatek, with no success fixing the issue.


I then found a newer driver version on NETGEAR website. I downloaded the driver, and created a new UNSIGNED .INF file. Disabled the windows Secure driver enforcement, and BAM.....It works!!


ASUS is basically refusing to update there drivers, and won't exchange for a new Realtek based device instead. So here is my QUESTION...


How can I contact someone inside MICROSOFT about getting the Microsoft windows 10 drivers for the device updated from your team??

How to make USB Wireless Adapter work

Try the chipset driver for your card. It uses the ralink 5372 chipset. Try this link

Downloads - Drivers and Firmware - MediaTek

And look for the windows driver for the RT5X7X part number.

 

How do you uninstall chipset drivers?

I'm installing a new mobo so I need to uninstall the intel 865g drivers to make way for the P35 drivers.

Can't find any uninstall options in add/remove programs and intel chipset inst listed in driver cleaner.

Any suggestions? *Confused

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.
