Loading the drivers and TP Link Utility from the disc that came with the adapter. I don't see an option like that in my BIOS. Someone in the amazon reviews of the adapter said the mobo needs to be made aware that there is a PCI-e x1 device in x4 slot for this adapter to work properly. I have the adapter inserted into the PCI-e x4 slot of my mobo, the TP Link adapter is PCI-e x1. Looking around in the BIOS of my mobo for anything network related. Nothing for wireless but there were Intel drivers for the ETHERNET interface. Looking in my mobo's driver disc for anything related to networking. The adapter uses a "Atheros/Qualcom" NIC. I believe my new PC is having the same problem as his old PC, in that its a software/driver issue not faulty hardware or physical installation.
On his new PC, he said he just plugged it in and it worked and hes had 0 issues. On his old PC using this USB adapter, he would have to go through a process of exiting the TP Link software, disconnecting from his network and reconnecting through the Windows network tool. My friend has a USB adapter also from TP Link and he had similar issues as I'm having. Its the classic "connected to network, no internet access" situation. I managed to download and Overwatch at <100kb/s and I can launch the game and join a match, but after this I lose connection to the internet entirely after less than a minute. Everything with the PC is fine, except the connection I'm getting from this adapter is very bad. Ethernet is not an option so I got a TP Link N900 Adapter, also called TL-WDN4800. I just completed building my new PC and installing windows 10.
