Hi.
I have just bought a TL-WN725N USB adapter.
I installed it and downloaded the driver.
The pc recognized the adapter but it cant connect to the wifi.
The windows says: Cant connect to the network.
Other wireless gadgets can connect to the Wifi.
I tested on two pcs.

Any signs the the USB network adapter is "present".

Do you see the adapter in Device Manager?

Look at the router's admin pages and use the computer's Command prompt to run "ipconfig /all".

Or try "Get-NetAdapter" via Powershell

Try using a known working USB extension cable to raise the wireless adapter up and away from the PC's USB port.

Sort of a "shot in the dark" especially if the adapter has failed on two computers.

Still no harm in poking about a bit to eliminate possibilities.
