this adaptor works well when connected directly to my Windows 8 tablet. However when I connect it on a USB port it doesn't work. Please help

I connected it to my USB on my desk top and it doesn't work well at all. Appears to be a piece of junk. Bob

I had to download the driver a few times to get it to work when connected to my PC. Hope this helps...

Hi Molllie. I don't know if the tablet works with Windows 8. I have Vista. I can say that the instructions are not that good. I went online and printed the manual. I still have not got the tablet to work the way I thought it would.

I'm using Windows 8.0 and it seems to (sort of) work. While I am currently using this adapter while writing this (and it seems to be working ok), I have lots of connectivity issues when downloading anything it seems like. Whether this is a Windows 8 compatability issue, out of date drivers, or just a faulty adapter - I have no idea. At seemingly random times, the download speed will start to decrease rapidly until it loses signal completely. Unplugging it and plugging it back in is the only fix I've found so far, and that's just a temporary fix until it decides to lose the signal again. UPDATE: My computer has since updated to Windows 8.1 and the adapter no longer works at all. It can't find ANY available wifi networks to connect to (I live in an apartment complex, so typically like 20 different potential networks would show up). Also, I feel it's worth mentioning that I have a chromebook which has never had a problem connecting to my internet, so I know it's a problem with the adapter and not something else.

it will only work if the unit {windows 8 tablet } has a micro usb like the charging port for a Samsung galaxy 3 or droid razr maxx hd smart phone that is what connection is needed . hope this helps

this is a bluetooth device and thus requires drivers, it will not function before the operating system loads. the included usb adapter requires a usb port or a port on a connected hub. check your operating system for compatible driver availability. short answer is "it depends on your OS."

I didn't have to install a driver on my Asus Windows 8 tablet, it figured it out on it's own. Both USB hub and ethernet adapter.

This adapter is for cell phones. I don't think tablets have that small of a connector. Look closely at the smaller end, if your tablet has that size port and same shape than it should work, but if the port is bigger,,,,nope. :-(

You will have to get an adapter if your tablet don't have USB port. There small and convienent and cheap.

I do not have a tablet with USB ports to try it on, so I am not sure if it would work on that device. I tried to use this on Win 7 (64bit), Win 7 (32bit), and Win XP (32 bit) machines. I also passed through the driver to a Linux VM (BT5r3), and was unable to force the OS to recognize the chipset.

I had a keyboard with a USB plug that would not work with this adapter. I tried a different keyboard and it worked. I don't know it the first keyboard was bad or if it couldn't work on android (I had a galaxy tab at the time)

After plugging in the adapter just use the usb port as you would as if the tablet had a usb port

I am using this with Windows 7. And, Windows automatically installed the drivers when I plugged the infra-red sensor into one of the USB ports. If Win 8 is not doing this, try plugging it into a different USB port. If Win 8 is asking for the drivers, then the device may not be compatible. I recommend contacting the manufacturer. Pam

It didn't work on my Windows 8.1 device when first connected, but after restarting with the dongle connected it started to work. Worked on my Windows 7 device immediately.

Yes, I have a windows 8 computer and it works fine. It's a bit tricky to calibrate and customize the options, unless you make the file clear on where it is. But that is more a Windows 8 problem not the tablet's fault.
