Wireless Network Adapter Drivers
USB Wi-Fi Adapter Drivers
Platform | Version and Download | Notes | Date |
---|---|---|---|
Windows 10, 8.x, and 7 |
If you are on Windows 10, 8.x, or 7—and you have an active network connection other than the Wi-Fi adapter—the driver should install automatically from Windows Update. |
||
Windows XP and Above | Download |
Once the drivers are installed, a restart is recommended. You may use the included Realtek utility and/or your operating system’s standard built-in support for making a new wireless connection to an access point. |
September 2013 |
macOS 10.6 to 10.14 | Download |
macOS 10.15 and above are not supported as Realtek has not updated drivers and software for new requirements from Apple for DriverKit and 64-bit operation in a non-beta driver. We do not have an estimate for updated drivers from Realtek and do not expect them at this time. |
|
Linux |
There are no official drivers for the RTL8188EUS chipset, used in the adapter, for Linux. There are some community-created drivers that can be found on GitHub, but we have not found one that is reliable, and we do not support this adapter on Linux. |
