Windows 10 Drivers for Alfa AWUS036H

I read here that if I had access to an internet connection, I could use the «Search Automatically for Updated Driver Software» wizard to download the correct driver file for the AWUS036H USB Wireless network adapter. I don’t have a internet connection setup for my windows 10 computer, so I have not been able to try this method.

I have tried manually installing the device drivers from older documentation CD, and from online downloads. The drivers will usually install successfully, but I will immediately start having issues with the wireless card cycling between disconnected and connected every few seconds (as if I were physically disconnecting and reconnecting the USB cord from the computer).

I have had no problems using this card with Windows 7. Is this because I am using the wrong driver for Windows 10, or do I have something else that is interfering?

Thank you for being part of Windows 10.

I would request you to install the drivers in Windows 7 compatibility mode and check if it helps.

a: Right click on the driver file and then select Properties.

b: Then click the compatibility tab and then select Windows 7 from the drop down list for Run this previous version.

Do get back to us for any issues pertaining in the future. We will be happy to help.

This does allow me to install the utility along with the driver directly from the CD, but it does not get rid of the disconnecting/reconnecting issue. After the installation, the wireless card will begin cycling between disconnected and connected every few seconds (as if I were physically disconnecting and reconnecting the USB cord from the computer). I uninstalled my other network utilities/drivers and my antivirus software, but I am still having the problem. Is there a way that I can download the Windows 10 driver for this device manually without using the wizard that requires the internet connection?

This website seems to indicate that there is a driver that will work for Windows 10, but I have not been able to find it online on my Windows 7 laptop. I don’t want to update my laptop to Windows 10 if I won’t be able to use my device.

Same problem here — Alfa AWUS036H

Turned off power settings in advanced properties of the device

Installed drivers from windows update / manufacturer website

Tried deleting wireless profiles

netsh winsock reset for good measure

reinstalled windows for giggles since it is windows 10.

same thing, disconnects every 2-3 minutes. It’s not the AP because I have access on phone / ipad / kindle to wireless without drops.

I think Windows 10 was released in a haphazard way by Microsoft even when there were so many bugs yet to be removed after getting feedback for technical preview version. I had no issue on my licensed Windows 7 Home and before upgrading to Windows 10. I carried out compatibility test with my already installed apps and drivers. And at that stage it gave me 1 incompatibility issue with an app. And once I upgraded to windows 10 my IDT sound driver, Alfa AWUS036H and so many other apps were corrupted / defunct. Windows 10 is an immature OS with a lot of backward compatibility issues. The installation of older apps in compatibility mode is seemed to be an eyewash. Only 1% apps successfully get installed in that mode. It’s my biggest mistake that I trusted this OS and ruined my stable Windows 7 OS. I have more than 1500 Apps installed on my PC and startup shows only a few. Some services start up during boot and remains closed in next boot. I had a loss of huge amount of money coz of cancelling my contract with my client as a freelancer coz I ruined up my needed apps after upgrading it to windows 10. Sometimes system hangs up without any warning. Event viewer shows usb driver issue. Watch Dog blue screen of death. Stub error during Access Control. All **** is going on.

You can use AWUS036H by simply pointing to the win64 or win86 folder to update driver but now u cannot use your awus036h to control its power or as an AP.

But it hardly matters to Microsoft coz they are not having pain for you.

May be Mr Bill Gates being a Software Engineer get some time to develop empathy and feel some pain for us in which we engineers are entangled after getting this buggy OS installed in our machines.
