Question 1

will this work with windows XP?

Accepted Answer

It does. When you install the drivers It will recognize your OS. Just make sure your line of site is clear, because any obstruction will weaken your signal. Not a bad product, really easy setup

Question 2

I Installed this adapter using XP and I had no problem, But I'm Wondering if it will work using Windows 10 ?

Accepted Answer

Since this adapter is Plug & Play compatible with Windows 8, it is also Plug & Play compatible with Windows 10.

Question 3

Does it come with the half height adapter for a small form factor PC?

Accepted Answer

The low profile bracket is definitely included. It actually says it's included on the top right corner of my box. It's been working great for me. I'm actually sharing internet with the tenant above me and bridging the connection to my xbox 360. My connection is always in the green. Hope this helped.

Question 4

will this work with Windows XP?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it will. If the driver on the CD doesn't work, there are drivers for both versions of the adapter on the TP-Link website.

Question 5

Is this adapter compatible with Windows 7?

Accepted Answer

I'm not using Win7, but by now Win7/8 drivers for WiFi adapters are commonplace.  Check with TP-Link's website to confirm, but I'm pretty sure a Win7 driver is included on a small disc bundled with the adapter.  I'm using this adapter myself on a vintage WinXP PC, and it works great.

Question 6

My internet keeps dropping while using this... I mean like every five or so seconds... anything I can do to fix this?

Accepted Answer

Mine is working fine with Win 7 x64, used driver from disc that came with it.  Make sure there is no polarization issue (all antennas vertical) and even try putting your hotspot right next to it to see if its a power issue.  If this is the only device on your hotspot then even try another router.

Question 7

will this work with a 1 PCI-e x8 size slot?

Accepted Answer

No, this is PCI, NOT PCI Express.  They make a different model for PCI-e

Question 8

OK, i got the part installation was easy and it can connect to my router but as its connecting it will say identifying and stay there for 40 minutes do i need to reinstall the drivers or do i need to just wait longer?

Accepted Answer

Which version of windows and which security version are you using?  If its WPA2 and its stuck at identifying it could be that you need to update the driver, i had that happen a few times.
