Wireless Network Adapter Driver Download

If Windows can’t find a new driver for your network adapter, visit the PC manufacturer’s website and download the latest network adapter driver from there. If your PC can't connect to the Internet, you'll need to download a driver on a different PC and save it to a USB flash drive so you can install the driver on your PC. If you install a new network adapter driver and your Wi-Fi connection gets worse after that, you can roll back the driver to the previous version. (To learn how, see Fix network connection issues.) The same is true if you already have the latest driver and want to use an older driver version instead.
