802.11n wlan wifi drivers needed on Windows 7 32-Bit

[F1nl3y]

Hello. Ever since I had installed Windows 7 32-bit onto my PC, the wifi dongle has stopped working, well that's what windows thinks. It says their are no drivers found, so I cannot access the Internet with my wifi dongle. It is just a regular wifi dongle, no manufacturer, no nothing. If anyone needs the Hardware Id of the device I was using for wifi, its: USB\VID_148F&PID_5370&REV_0101

Or: USB\VID_148F&PID_5370

The problem code is: 0000001C

If anyone can supply any drivers for me, it would be greatly appreciated.

Hi:

Your USB Wi-Fi adapter is a TP-Link TL-WN727N v3.

Select the v3 option from the drop-down list.

Download for TL-WN727N | TP-Link

Here's a partial copy and paste of the driver setup information file for that Wi-Fi adapter hardware version which shows driver support for the hardware ID you posted:

Thank you very much Paul. The drivers have been installed successfully and I am now connected to my Internet. I had never known my wifi adapter was a TP-Link one 😄. Once again thank you very much Paul.
