TP-Link USB WiFi Adapter not Working

[FlyingBox566]

So I have a WN725N USB WiFi adapter, and it all of a sudden stopped working. I first noticed it was only receiving perhaps a fifth of the 25mbps internet I have, so I checked for a driver update. No updates. I go to unplug it and plug it back in and now it's not working, light doesn't flash, no ding sound when you plug it in, nothing. Yes I've tried all USB ports. Im on windows 10 build 1607.

The USB adapter might be dead. I encountered the similar problem today and tried all USB ports, didn't work. You could test out your USB ports by plugging in a flash drive and see if it reads it.

It ended up working again, but its still only receiving 5mbps. Suppose Ill just get a powerline adpater.
