After upgrading to Windows 10 on my home PC, I realised that it was no longer able to connect to my 5ghz network using my TL-WDN3200 dongle. The wireless network list didn't even display it.
On further investigation i decided it must be a driver issue, so i went over to the TP-LINK website and downloaded the latest driver set (for Windows 8.1 x64 as at the time of writing there were no Windows 10 drivers available). I installed the drivers, but the network still didn't appear.
Upon closer inspection I identified that the USB dongles chipset maker was Mediatek, so I headed off to their website and downloaded their drivers.
Straight after installing, I had access to my 5ghz network again. Must be a bug or inconsistency with the tp-link/builtin/windows 10 drivers
The URL for the mediatek drivers is: http://www.mediatek.com/en/downloads1/downloads/usb/
-- Update April 2016 --
TP-Link still haven't got this sorted yet and there are lots of complaints about it on their forums. They have released a Windows 10 compatibility list here: http://www.tp-link.com/en/article-15587.html but it doesn't look like the WDN3200 is going to get a new driver in the near future!
