Join a Wireless Network
You can join a wireless network via Windows built-in Wireless Utility. If you want to use

network, you need to install the TP-LINK Utility first.

You can use the Windows WLAN Autoconfig service (for Windows 7/8/8.1/10) and the
Wireless Zero Configuration service (for Windows XP) to join a Wi-Fi network.
Option 2:
TP-LINK Utility
TP-LINK Utility lets you easily connect the adapter to a Wi-Fi network and manage the
adapter.
Option 3:
WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup)
WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) is a network security standard for easily adding computers
and other devices to a home network. Use this method if your wireless router or access
