How to Use Wireless Adaptor using Windows8

Wireless adapter is a device used for wireless connection. This device usually installed in a desktop computer since laptop has it's own built-in Wi-Fi access.

Since you have Windows 8 operating system, this might be the issue. We might have incompatibility with the Windows version you are using and the type of wireless adapter you are installing.

Check this with your wireless adapter manufacturer and ask if this device is compatible with the new windows. This wireless adapter for sure has manual that guide you on how to install this hardware, I'm pretty sure it'll help you find the solution and the main cause why it won't work on Windows 8.

Windows 8 version is not yet in full force in all aspect, like software and hardware. It is not yet been market to the fullest by Microsoft. So we might encounter incompatibility yet. You may go to the manufacturers' website and check there drivers available for download. Get a copy of this driver and give the try once again to install this wireless adapter of yours.
