Can't Find 5GHz Network With 802.11ac AC 600 Dual Band Wi-Fi Adapter

It's a eSYNiC AC 600 Dual Band Wi-Fi Adapter. It says on the box it does 2.4GHz and 5GHz.

My router has 5GHz on it because my Dads laptop and Mum's iPhone can see it.

I haven't downloaded the drivers as I can't find them. I've looked everywhere and even their website doesn't have them.

There could be a problem because it supports Windows 8.1/8/7/XP 32/64bit and I'm on Windows 10.

"I haven't downloaded the drivers"

have you tried the 8.1 drivers

James_348 · Aug 18, 2016

I'm the person who asked the question but on my phones account.

I can't find any drivers for it on their website. Would it matter if I downloaded drivers from a different company?

James Noscoper · Aug 18, 2016

I installed the newest drivers for it (2014) and it still didn't work.

Here are my driver properties: http://i.imgur.com/XNb8y5n.gifv

Don't know if it mates a difference but I'm with BT

I really hate all these cheap unknown brand cards, the companies selling them do little to support. There is little documentation online so it hard to look things up.

Try to look though the device or driver settings what you are looking for is the radio chip it uses. Most start with AR or RT. Something like AR5006.
You would then go to the chipset vendors site and try to get drivers for windows 10.

James Noscoper · Aug 18, 2016

Where do I find the radio chip? I've looked through the settings and see nothing about AR or RT.

I've found something with RT in it but I don't know if it's right: http://i.imgur.com/eHtw70J.png

It is in the device manager screens if I remember. So rather than figure that out I went and found what I think is the manual for the device and got lucky and it says it uses MT7610U

Which one do I download, the MT7610U one is for linux

bill001g · Aug 18, 2016

I don't know I would assume mt7610 and mt7610u is the same. It appears they pretty much only have 1 driver for all their USB chipsets for windows.

It won't hurt to try you can always load the driver you have back. Not sure what to suggest if that doesn't work

James Noscoper · Aug 18, 2016

I tried installing it after uninstalling the old ones, it didn't show any networks, the device was disabled from Network Manager and I couldn't enable it. So I went back to the default windows drivers.

Wish I had a suggestion, windows 10 has killed a bunch of these direct ship from china brands. Its really too bad when the companies don't support their products.
