Windows 10: USB wifi adapter not working

Hi everyoneI've recently bought a USB wifi dongle but i haven't been able to use it yet. I connect the USB to my pc and then install the driver but when the installation finishes this error occurs: "Access violation at address 100417CF in module 'RaWLAPI.dll'" and I can't see any wifi networks on my pc to connect to them. I also tried some methods on the internet but none of them worked.I've been struggling with this problem for a couple of days and I don't know what else to do, I'd be grateful if you help me fix this error.

USB Wireless adapter not connecting to Wifi

Hello

I am having trouble making my new USB Wifi Adapter to work. The drivers are working fine but the issue is it is not connecting to wifi.

1. I am using Windows 10
2. The adapter which I am trying to work is Alfa AWUS036NHA 150Mbps
3. I have also one USB mini wifi adapter attached to my other USB through which I am currently using internet

From the above screenshot, the Wi-Fi 2 is which I am trying to connect. When I right-click on Wi-Fi 2 and click on Connect/Disconnect, It shows the already connected Wifi through USB mini adapter.

When I Disable WiFi and try to connect through WiFi 2 then it shows an error "Change settings, such as making a connection metered"

The device utility does not show any Wifi available connections though there are 2-3 wifi connection is there.








any idea how can I make connect to internet using my new Alfa AWUS036NHA 150Mbps Wireless USB Adaptor - Wi Fi 2 on Windows 10 ?

 

Connection drops with USB Wifi adapter

Hi everyone,
since my laptop if far from my NetGear access point, I bought an external USB Wifi Adapter with antenna and it reaches very well my AP. Ookla Speedtest says the same speed as the wire connected devices.
The problem is when the download speed reaches its maximum rate (about 9 / 9.5 MB/s): the adapter stops downloading, ping to the router fails and the wifi icon on the tasktray turns into the world icon (no connection). I have to unplug the USB adapter and replug it or disconnect the wifi connection and reconnect it to have it working again.
If i take my laptop near the AP and use the internal Wifi connection, it doesn't happen, it never disconnects.
I made a try with another laptop and the problem is the same.
I think the problem is the wifi adapter, I already sent back it to Amazon and bought another one, with no luck.
The chipset of the USB adapter is Realtek 8812BU.
My Windows version is Windows 10 Pro 21H2 (build SO 19044.1415).

Do you have any suggestion?

Thanks

 

which is better for a wifi adapter, usb 2.0 or usb 3.0?

The fastest USB WiFi adapter in the article that was less than $30 was the Archer T4U. You can buy one for about $17.
The Archer T4U requires a USB 3.0 port. You will probably reduce its speed if plug it in a USB 2.0 port.
You can try the pass-through port but you should compare it to a direct connection to make sure it does not slow you down.

There are a several caveats here:

• The article's author did static tests. He made no attempt to show which WiFi adapter gave the best Wi-Fi coverage.
• Interference, signal blockage, and increased distance from router will reduce Wi-Fi speeds.
• Using any of these WiFi adapters in an older computer may show lower speeds that in the article
