Wifi Drivers –
Don’t Get Left Out! A lot of people think that just because their laptops came with Wifi drivers that they are good to go. But the truth is, that Wifi is one of those things, which if you don’t use it well, could really slow down your computer. So, when you are out and about, always make sure you update your wifi drivers accordingly. This will help you connect to the network without delay.
There are many reasons why your Wifi driver doesn’t work properly. The most important one of these reasons is that your PC has stopped working. To get your working windows 8 device running all you have to do is download a working wifi driver. In this article, I will give you a complete list of all the drivers that I have found that work well with my computer, and most of these can be easily downloaded from the internet.
Wireless Network Adapter –
It is very common with working windows 8 systems to find that your wireless network adapter is not working or getting random error messages. In this case, the first thing you will need to do is simply restart your system and in the recovery mode enable the secure connection. After that, you should download and install the latest version of the Wifi driver. Once that is done your problem is solved.
Bluetooth Devices –
Another problem that occurs is the inability to see other devices because the Bluetooth device is not working. In order to see other devices, you will need to scan your device with the USB detect software. This is basically what the Wifi driver is for. It is also very common to find that a Bluetooth device is not detected by your pc because it does not have the required drivers installed. All you have to do is download one for your computer from the proper website and install it.
Wifi Drivers – If your pc does not turn on after inserting a USB device or if the device stays in an unresponsive state when you try to connect then it’s likely one of the problems listed above that is causing the missing wifi driver. The best way to check if you have a working windows 8 driver is to download and install a USB WiFi drivers download for your particular device. And once you have done that press and hold the option key on your keyboard and click connect. You now have a working wifi button that you can use to connect wirelessly to the internet.
Wireless Card Driver –
Another common problem that people are experiencing is the inability to see the wireless buttons on their laptops. This has happened to me and many times I had no other choice but to reboot my system and start all over again. You can actually test if your wireless card is working by going to start>msconfig>network>network preferences>additional connections and look for the wifi button. If the button is grayed out in actuality it is not working. In fact, if you have changed any settings on your network. Such as the SSID, and then restart your machine. It could very well be that the button is corrupted and is now unavailable.
Another reason why your Wifi Driver may be missing or not working properly. Could be because of a virus or spyware installed on your system. To solve this simple problem all you have to do is download a program such as “My Computer Manager” from Microsoft to manage your computer’s hardware. This program will allow you to see which devices are currently connected to your computer along with their details. Simply click on each device, look at the details and delete any that are not currently being used. However, if you find that there are a number of devices. That is still being used try uninstalling the entire group and then re-add them again using the software.
Fix any drivers:
If all else fails there are a few simple steps you can take to fix any drivers that aren’t working. First, you can go into your Control Panel > Add / Remove Programs and remove any device that isn’t currently being used by your PC. If you’re still getting error messages about a missing Wifi Driver you can use one of two methods to solve the issue. The first method involves taking your keyboard out of your computer. And plugging it into a USB port just below your existing Wifi router. With the drivers already installed. You can then plug the keyboard into the port and use your keyboard to connect to your wireless network. If this doesn’t work then you need to download and install a utility called a USB Network Adapter Driver.
