Nowadays, "wi-fi" has become a convenient means of wireless communication. Almost all modern gadgets have access to Internet connection with using Wi-Fi (even economy versions are equipped with this feature) - because without Wi-Fi now can not do. Connect to wireless network It turns out only when there is a driver. There are a lot of difficulties for people who are faced with the concept of "Wi-Fi drivers", and the most important questions about where to download the drivers and how to install them correctly.
Why should I need a driver to distribute "wi-fi"
Initially, the laptop has a Wi-Fi adapter, which can connect to some stationary computer. The main job of it lies in connecting to Wi-Fi networks, which we basically do. But, they are also equipped with the reverse function - the distribution of Wi-Fi. Sometimes users are faced with the fact that for some reason the driver for wifi on the laptop is not installed or simply not compatible.
About driver availability
Very often, after reinstalling the Windows, it is not possible to connect to the Internet, which often indicates that the adapter is missing. Sometimes Windows 7 and 8 independently recognize the adapter and download the driver to it.
To check, open the control panel, go to "Device Manager". Next, go to the "Network Adapters" tab when you open it and see all the drivers on your laptop.
There are probably only two options:
- There is no driver wifi in principle. Installation is required driver windows wifi. Download it.
- The driver is installed, but for some reason it does not work.
Where to download the driver
It does not matter which brand of your laptop: aspire, asus, acer, samsung, hp, lenovo or some other - better to download the driver for wifi from a reliable and trusted resource (you can download it for free).Video
But here too, complexity can arise, since adapters for the same manufacturer may differ. You may need to download the driver for realtek, or for intel. Solving this problem may require a good HWVendorDetection program.
Driver Update
Before installing a new driver, you must first remove the old one, and then proceed with the installation.Sometimes, when updating, you may need to manually configure it. The easiest way to do this is in the device manager, just click the "update" button.
Installation
Installation usually runs automatically, but if you install a driver downloaded independently, then run as usual with any setup.exe installation and follow the simple instruction.Uninstall driver
The driver is simply removed from the device manager. Do not forget to confirm the deletion.Download wi-Fi driver on your laptop, install it, following the instructions above, remember that the normal work Wi-Fi without it is impossible. Download only from a reliable source to protect your device.
Often after reinstallation operating system or after cleaning the computer from viruses, users have different kinds of problems with Wi-Fi adapters - either they do not work properly or do not work at the reception at all, and this gives a lot of inconvenience. Today we will talk about how to install the driver for the Wi-Fi adapter and update it, and for starters - how to find out if you have any driver in principle.
So, in order to understand what situation we are dealing with, first we need to determine if you have a driver or not. To do this, go to the "Start" menu and click on the "My Computer" icon - an additional menu will open, in which we click on "Properties".
After that, another small window will open before you. It will have a sorted list. We click on the line "Network adapters" and in the opened tree you will find all the devices. We are interested in something like the name Wireless Network Adapter. If it is listed, but the device does not work, then double-click it and go to the "Driver" tab - most likely, you will be informed that it is not installed.
How to get the right driver
There are several options in this situation. Ideally, you should have provided a disk with the right driver, but in practice it usually does not exist, so you have to get out of your own knowledge. Usually this situation is applicable to the laptop, so first of all you need to know his model and firm - it can be indicated on the box or on the laptop itself. Next you need to go to the official Russian site of the manufacturer and there in the section with all other programs download the driver for the Wi-Fi adapter. Then you just open the file and confirm the installation.
It's no secret that all the necessary drivers for the computer can be downloaded on the Internet. But what if the drivers for the network adapters are not installed on the newly installed Windows? To solve this problem, an offline driver of packs of network devices comes to us, which can be downloaded to a USB flash drive and installed in several clicks either manually or automatically.
Driver packs network cards and Wi-Fi adapters are available in 3 formats - zip, exe, 7z.
- ZIP - to unpack files does not require the program-archiver. Unzip the files itself windows system. You can unzip a separate folder if you know the manufacturer of the drivers.
- 7Z - here already for unpacking files requires an archiver program, for example 7z or Winrar. You can also unzip a separate folder if you know the manufacturer of the drivers.
- SFX-archive (EXE) - such an archive can be unpacked on any computer, even if there is no archiver program, but you can not unpack a separate folder here.

Want to get rid of hated Internet wires? Then you just need to download the WiFi driver for Windows 10. Of course, wiFi availability module in your device is also mandatory, but now there are such modules in almost all modern devices.
Features
WiFi technology is widely distributed all over the world, therefore manufacturers of computers, laptops and tablets try to equip their devices with special WiFi modules that allow to provide wireless access to the Internet. But this is not the only purpose of the drivers, except this driver allows:- Set up a WiFi network;
- Set up wireless printing;
- Establish wireless communication with other WiFi devices;
Drivers are distributed free of charge, available for OS with 32-bit and 64-bit architecture. A version in Russian is available for you. But you are unlikely to appreciate this much, since the Russian language is only needed for installation, then you will no longer see the driver interface. But if you have the entire system for some reason still on english language, then you can translate it without problems. For this you do not have to sit with
WiFi for acer Notebook sometimes it's very hard to get you to work and how you can get to this device you'll find out just below ...
First of all, I would like to make a small remark about the drivers for WiFi Acer. These manufacturers have produced a lot of things. And bring his brainchild to the mind so it was not enough. I had to spend a lot of time just for the sake of digging on the Internet exactly those firewood that would make this beast work ... No words, as always some emotions.
I had to really download everything and put it. But no matter how much I put it - they did not work. Downloaded the official assembly of all drivers for the Acer Aspire 5750ZG, but they all worked clumsily. Some kind of nonsense was written: some file can not be copied to C: / Windows / TEMP / temp ... and something else. The nerves were stretched like an arrow, but a surprise came to the rescue. I decided to look for the driver for the WiFi Atheros device (Qualcomm). And about the miracle, when they were manually installed - they EARNED. Mega Hurray!
Please pay attention. These drivers are not for a specific laptop, namely for devices that are installed on Acer's laptops and even Hrenovo-Lenovo kitaysovo. Therefore, they must (their mother ...) work on your laptop!
HOW TO INSTALL these drivers?
It's simple. See images:
First, find your computer in the Start menu. Next, click on the right mouse button on the Computer and then on the Control Panel.
You will have a window. Find the Device Manager there (LEFT!). Then find the devices Network adapters, where there is an icon with the QUESTION. You may have an unknown Wifi device or somehow there. In general, look for where there are letters Wifi or network adapter. I already tried to put firewood, so I already had to go to work and denoted myself EVEN as Wifi ...
Click on this device with the right mouse button. Then, update the driver.
After download the archive, which is located BELOW. Unpack it and point the way where its files lie:
All. This thing is now working.
You can use them for the following devices:
