Simply put, you need either a newer network card, or a newer driver.

Forget the brand of device you bought and just take a look in device manager for the actual chipset maker - Atheros, Realtek, Intel etc.

“We have released a security update to address this issue. Customers who apply the update, or have automatic updates enabled, will be protected. We continue to encourage customers to turn on automatic updates to help ensure they are protected.” Microsoft said in a statement.
