Why doesn't this adapter work with my TV?
TVs typically don’t have the required drivers for this adapter. It needs the Realtek driver, which must be pre-installed during manufacturing. Without it, the adapter will not work with the TV.
Can I make this adapter work with my TV?
TVs cannot install drivers themselves. If the Realtek driver isn’t pre-installed, the adapter won't work. Check with your TV manufacturer to see if the driver can be added.
Why does this adapter work with some TVs?
This adapter works with TVs that have the Realtek driver pre-installed at the factory. If the driver is already included, the adapter should function properly.
