TP Link TL-WN781ND Driver for windows server 2016

[onebit]

i recently assembled a server with TP Link TL-WN781ND PCI wireless adapter. But the driver is missing for Windows Server 2016 Std Edition. Can someone please help because windows is not detecting my hardware

Any reason you are running a server on wifi, 802.11n at that?

Try the Win 10 drivers - https://www.tp-link.com/us/download/TL-WN781ND.html#Driver

That said on my system I get better performance from this Thingie than from a N150 TP-Link relic.

Currently i am connected through ethernet to broadband service and sometimes the service goes off so for an emergency alternative i installed a wi-fi card for hotspot through mobile devices, if that answers your question. But i would like your help if you have any to make a card work

Hi.. Thanks for the link. i tried earlier but did not work with the win server 2016 Std OS

Stick with an Intel adapter and make sure you've enabled the wireless service first, it's disabled by default on Server 2016.

Something like this is probably more robust, you just ethernet it to one of your server nics and setup failover. You can put this in a spot with good LTE reception.
