wifi dongles

[SINCLR]

hey team, 

 

NEVER used a wifi dongle on a desktop before - i've purchased a realtek rtl8811au wireless dongle 802.11ac to use with an old system running windows 10.....I install the drivers...plug her in....the thing shows the available networks in the area just like a phone,. i try to connect as you would with a phone and all i get is Unable to connect to this network! this is driving me nuts!

 

has anyone had this issue before??

Where did you obtain the drivers?  It could be worth looking around to see if there are any newer ones.

100% sure they are the correct drivers

Its not about being correct, bugs happen, so with problems like this it can be useful to try newer or even older ones just to see if it makes any difference.
