Overview

The FCC ID and IC ID for this device is also used for the RTL8188EUS based TL-WN725N v2. When connected, v1 and v2 devices report different ID, and there is two ways to distinguish them, one is by looking at the label of the box, and the other is looking the label on the down side of the usb port, next to "C E" logo; while the V1 has round symbol, the V2 has "1588" instead. The v1 device is labeled with model TL-WN725N Ver: 1.0 and P/N 0152502085.

The only USB ID in the Windows driver sets is 0bda:8176.
