Question 1

Malware?! i did everything and all of my virus protection apps are flagging it with malware. this is scary and amazon wont let me review the product.

Accepted Answer

Hi! The adapter does not contain any malware. It is a USB hardware adapter designed to provide your PC with AX1800 Wi-Fi 6 connectivity. If you are referring to the downloading and installation of a driver for the adapter, please ensure you are properly downloading it from our official TP-Link website and not a third-party site.

Question 2

Why does the light flash? It seems to be connected, what gives?

Accepted Answer

Not really sure what is causing the light to blink -- but a Solid light - means you are connected...

Question 3

As the usb naming scheme has now changed from "3.0" to "3.1 gen 1 (5gbps)" and  and "3.2 gen 2 (~10gbps), which type of usb connection is supported?

Accepted Answer

I have an ASROCK board with both gen 1 and gen 2.  Works fine with gen 1.  When I try using gen 2, I get an error when it tries to connect to the network (can't connect to network).  So from my use, I'd say stick with 3.1 gen 1 ports.

Question 4

Lost usb what should i buy?i think i out that in return box.. by mistake

Accepted Answer

While I don't want to prejudice users against this product, I can say, from my own experience, that, at first, it seemed to increase my WiFi reception from awful to acceptable, but then it stopped working altogether in a few months. That led me to try, on a whim, to get out the box of unused parts that came with my 8 year old high end PC. I found the external WiFi antenna that my builder sent to me as a part that was never installed, as they considered that it irrelevant to my build (used only 100 Mbit ethernet with this computer for years) and decided to plug it in to its special port (later antennae don't necessarily need such a port; they're usually just USB). Bingo. I got much better reception from this passive device than I had from the AX 1800, along with almost zero chance of it ever malfunctioning. If it were me, I'd just return the AX 1800 and try a good passive external antenna, preferably one that, like mine, came originally with your motherboard. If that doesn't help you, perhaps there could be another active solution.
