Summing up
Zebronics WiFi adapters are made to keep you connected easily and efficiently, but sometimes they might not pick up networks or get recognized by Windows. Often, this is because you need the right driver or an updated one.
While Windows tries to get the drivers for you automatically, it doesn’t always work out. That’s why going to the manufacturer’s website, finding your specific model’s driver, and downloading and installing it yourself can save the day. Having the right and latest driver is key for your Zebronics WiFi adapter to work its best.
