    Oh yes - they do.
    Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

    PC. Need it to connect with a new TP-Link ADSL2 wireless router.

    boot up a linux 'live' disc (lots to download and try for free).
    open a console, plug in the device, then wait a sec - then type dmesg..
    you should see some messages showing the device ID's/name etc..

    there may even be a lsusb on linux, i cannot remember.

    Might I suggest an Ethernet cable.
    Cheap, no drivers required, max speed and 100% reliable.

    Router and PC are in different buildings. Hard-wiring is not an option, unfortunately.

    If they share the same power supply then try ethernet over power adapters.

    This.

    Do it once, do it right, and never worry again.

    Hahaha, oh my. Long distance between buildings and using an old school wireless adaptor?
    You're asking for trouble. Hopefully this is for yourself and you're not going to make some other poor soul put up with it.

    Not for me, no.
    If not wireless OR wired, then HOW? I'm not buying another router...

    I've wired several houses with ethernet jackpoints and make my own ethernet cables. I've never had one fail unless I did it wrong.

    Unless you like, sabotage it or something its not going to fail on its own.

    @MSTRS
    Buy a good wireless adaptor. And make sure your router is up to snuff.
    The ethernet over power idea is valid too, but expensive.

    That's what I have. I just need driver/s for it. It seems unlikely I'll find those so, a new one is looking necessary.
    The router is new. TP-Link 150Mbps Wireless Lite N ADSL2+.
