I recently got this Wi-Fi adapter from Ali-Express, but it didn’t include any driver installation disc. It suggests downloading drivers via the provided link (http://pan.baidu.com/s/19JXvC), which appears to be in a language I don’t understand—possibly Chinese. The main issue is that I bought this device without a compatible driver, so it won’t work on my computer. If anyone has advice on installing a driver for this model, it would be helpful. I previously purchased a similar adapter on eBay about five months ago and managed to get the "802.11n USB Wireless LAN Card" driver installed on my main system. That’s how it worked before. I’m using Windows 10 on both my current and older systems. The driver listed in Device Manager is from RaLink Technologies, with Microsoft as the provider, and it says the driver is for Microsoft Windows. Could someone suggest using a flash drive to transfer the driver from my primary system to the new one? Or is there another way to associate this driver with the Wi-Fi adapter? Thanks in advance.

My main system comes with the driver for this wireless internet adapter, while my secondary one lacks it. I must install the driver on the secondary one so it can operate the Wi-Fi adapter.

The link only contains the Windows installer file in that folder. There are additional items, but they’re not directly related to the installer itself. It’s a file-sharing site where subfolders appear in English. That can make it confusing at first.

I pressed the download button and the Chinese version said I must install their "BadiuNetDisc.exe" client. It saved the file on my machine, but when I tried to open it, the setup process was entirely in Chinese. It asked me to create an account and log in to retrieve the driver. Because I didn’t understand the language, I couldn’t complete the registration. I removed and deleted the installation files since the Chinese interface was confusing. If anyone knows how to get the driver without a Chinese account or has experience with this service, please share the details or attach the driver file here. Let me know if there’s another way to install it.
