in device manager This device is working properly .

help me to solve this problem.

thank you.

Had same problem - go to http://www.dlink.com/uk/en/support/product/dwa-131-wireless-n-nano-usb-adapter?revision=deu_revb and there you will find download - click on "windows drivers" and download - then extract files and copy to a drive.

It's the B revision that has the W8 and W8.1 drivers  

Now copy these drivers to your PC with the W8.1 problem. Should work...it did for me - hope it does for you : - )
