Hey guys,

I just bought a new TP-Link TL-WN881ND, since the very same I had went out.

So it arrived I put it in my PC and nothing, no status light no nothing. So I thought it was my PCI-E port, so I took out my gpu and put in the card, it didn't work. I can't find it in Device Manager and the status light isn't on. What should I do? I tried the TP link utility but it doesn't detect my card. I've tried everything. My gpu works fine in the PCI port. 

Please Help.

Thanks in advance.

Installed drivers?

Ive had luck with TP Link Stuff, but looking at the cost of that adapter its just over $16 on Amazon. I will go with you get what you pay for. I would have to say that the card is most likely dead. 

I just want to sit back and watch the world burn.
