Hi guys,

so I've installed Ubuntu on my PC a few months ago, so I'm now running Windows 10 and Ubuntu in dual boot. Everything's working as expected, except for my WiFi adapter, the TP-Link WN822N v4. Basically my problem is this:
If I plug the adapter into a USB 2.0 port on the back of my PC it works fine on Windows but in Linux, it's really slow and most of the time, I have to unplug and plug it back in after a reboot. If I plug the adapter into a USB 3.0 port, it works fine on Linux but on Windows, I always have to unplug and plug it back in after a reboot or I'll just get a BSOD after a few minutes.
Does anyone have an idea how I could fix this? It's such an annoying problem.

Thank you!

Make sure you have the drivers from the TP-Link site and install/manually check that the wifi adapter is using them.
I use a TP-Link USB wifi adapter with win 10, a different model to you, but the built in drivers are shit for me, don't get bsod, but appaling d/l speeds, as soon as i change drivers, jumps to full speed.

I have the latest drivers installed on Windows. Maybe I should check the mainboard drivers though...

Sooo, I've updated the drivers for both the WiFi adapter and my mainboard but no dice, the problem still persists.

  • RedColoredStars @ RedColoredStars:
    i used to go out to the recycling center every couple weeks and look at the crts and other electronics people would drop off. Usually screens were broken or severely scratched from being tossed around. Did find a good one here and there, but never anything like a 1080i widescreen crt.

  • a_username_that_isnt_cool @ a_username_that_isnt_cool:
    Is it piracy if it was released for free? Not in my opinion, but I also think it's not piracy if buying it isn't owning it, and it's not piracy if you can't buy it from the original creators anymore.
