Windows 11 vonets vap11g-300 cannot connect

HI! I hope perhaps someone here can assist me. I'm having a spot of bother with a vonets vap11g-300and Windows 11. I can't seem to connect to it using my
RTL8188FTV 802.11b/g/n 1T1R wifi card through Windows 11. I had a similar problem with Windows 10 but for some reason specifying an IP address worked. I've tried doing the same on 11 but i'm not having any joy. I did a bit of reading and one person suggested using an older driver.

I downloaded the older driver but when i try to remove the old device it keeps defaulting back to the default driver for 11.

I guess my primary question is, is it possible to manually remove the default driver ?

Ok i got it sorted. Using the default driver. I specified the tip address and removed ipv6 support. It's basic to you guys but for me it's a nice little victory!

i also had to specify the to 20mhz only and wireless mode to IEEE 802.11b

Yeah, Windows 11 can be stubborn about re-installing its “preferred” driver from the library whenever you remove the device. A couple of things you can try:
Use Device Manager → Uninstall device and check the box “Delete the driver software for this device” before rebooting. That usually prevents Windows from grabbing the same default package again.
Disconnect from the internet while you install the older driver, otherwise Windows Update will override it.
You can also use Group Policy (gpedit.msc) or the Show/Hide Updates troubleshooter tool to block Windows from auto-reinstalling the newer driver.
Once the old driver is in place, disable automatic updates for that specific device ID.
