Hi, I just finished building my computer but I am having problems connecting it to the internet. I am using a TP-LINK TL-WN821N 300mbps usb modem thing but I lost the cd so I got the drivers off the internet and transferred it onto the self-built computer via usb. So the drivers are installed but it still isn't recognising my tp link and when I go to connect to internet, in control panel, the only option is Broadband (PPPoE)
 
When you load the driver install program with the usb wifi adapter pluged in, does it not recognize the device is there?

You wont setup anything in the control panel for that.

When installed correclty you would just go to the wifi icon on the bottom and connect to a wifi network.

The ports are all working for other devices and the adapter can't be defective - its only a few months old and works in my other computer and laptop.
