Question Can't connect to any network

[MR-2]

Hello, I just recently built my first PC and with it bought a USB Wireless adapter (A TP-Link TL_WN821n v5) because my mobo doesn't have it built in. After installing windows and all the drivers, I plugged the adapter in and tried connecting to my modem. I write in the password, press enter and wait. Then it says "Can't connect to this network". I tried updating the bios, reinstalling windows, using another adapter, connecting to another network, changing between 802.11b, b/g and b/g/n but sadly it still doesn't connect. I can join the network with no problem on other devices with the same adapter but not on my PC. I can only connect using Ethernet but my pc is too far away.

My specs:
Asrock A320m HDV R4.0
Ryzen 3 2200g
8GB ram
TP-Link TD-W8961n v3 modem
TP-Link TL-821n v5 usb wireles

my pc is too far away.

Maybe that's precisely the problem. Can u temporarily move PC to the same room as base station and test?

I figured it out. Turns out the adapters I have don't work with the USB 3.0 ports on my pc. They worked fine when I plugged them to the 2.0 ports.
