    USB Wi-Fi adapter not showing on tray


    I also have an Asus PCI-e Wi-Fi adapter which exhibited even more problems. Asus finally came out with a driver for Windows 10 64bit on December 11th, long after the arrival of Windows 10. Love those useless 1.3Gbps connects to my router, my maximum speed from my ISP is about 27Mbps. *cry

    My ISP just installed fiber optic cables into my building. That optic cable ends just inside my front door and then they will connect it to a Wi-Fi transmitter/receiver and I really want to see the specifications on that box. I do have hope. *Biggrin

    I don't think Microsoft will ever provide a list of compatible devices for their operating system. People need to do their own research; if it does not say Windows 10 on the box then they need to go to the manufacturer's website and look for the Windows 10 drivers before they buy.

    Finally there is a D Link DWA-182 firmware C Windows 10 driver 3.06.B04 that is digitally signed. It's not up at the CDN site but it is at the U.S. site (link below).

    Release notes are as follows:
    DWA-182_REVC_RELEASENOTES_3.06.B04_EN.PDF

    And the installation worked!
