See http://www.wolfteck.com/2018/02/22/wsky_1200mbps_wireless_usb_wifi_adapter/ for all the hows and whys around the updates.

Fair warning...

I found the original source for this driver on Dropbox linked by the seller on an Amazon listing. Don't you love how reputable these driver bundles are? Nothing says "no one tampered with this after it left the OEM" like downloading from Dropbox / Baidu / etc.
