Windows 8 Wifi Driver Download

[Alayna Rother]

Lastweekend I upgraded it to Windows 10 Home 64x and everything went well, except for my wifi. The point is, I cannot activate my wifi - neither via button nor via system options. According to that issue, there are no wifis displayed. Nevertheless, my wifi-card is displayed as active (with latest driver) on the device manager and it is the Intel Centrino Wireless-N 1030.

I have already tested whether there is a general issue concerning my internet, but obviously there is none since it works perfectly fine with a wifi-stick and with a direct connection to my router. Hence, I assume it must be a driver issue. Unfortunately, Windows didn't provide me with a driver for my wifi so I tried to install one manually...

- downloaded and installed the "latest" driver from the Medion homepage (since I live in Germany, I accessed the German homepage for my OS - the latest driver is still for Win 7 and I think quite old fashioned)

- disabled and uninstalled the wifi card on the device manager (after having rebooted my notebook the card was displayed as active again - like before - without having obtained a fresh driver update by Windows)

So, unfortunately, everything I have tried has failed and I am running out of ideas as to what to do next... My question thus would be if anybody has a clue how to solve the issue or whether there will be a driver update available for my wifi card soon?

So, for now I have switched back to Windows 7 where my wifi works fine again. But now I have another (minor) issue going on: I have installed the wifi driver which is provided by Medion (and is - like I said - not quite the latest...). Here, wifi works! But when I try to download and install the latest drive via the Intel Update Utility (it actually detects one), a message pops up saying something like "Installation blocked - try to uninstall the old driver manually". When I do so and then give it another try, that message still pops up. Do you have an idea why this is the case? It's not that problematic since my wifi is also okay with the older driver. I'm just wondering...

I am running the N1030 Wireless Card on Windows 10. I am running Intel driver version 15.11.0.9 and it works fine for me. Download and save it locally then use Browse my computer fro driver software and manually install it.

After the last update for Windows 11 insider (Home). The driver for the wireless card stopped working. There is already a guide on the issue on Intel's boards, but it is not working either. So i think the issue is with the Windows.

I managed to bring my Killer wireless network adapter back - after wasted a whole morning. Windows updated overnight and I lost the card after that. This was the error I saw in Event Viewer:

@OussD After a lot of research, the problem is usually solved by resetting the bios to default, mainly on dell laptops. The problem is caused after doing bios update or installing windows 11.

Also don't forget to install the updated drivers.

@ballon999 This is not working on my Surface Pro 7. I've tried uninstalling and removing the driver completely several times and each time on the restart it automatically comes back (even when I'm not connected to the internet). I had Windows 11 and reverted back to Windows 10 and still not right.

I had a similar issue when I got my first wifi 6 networking card. My solution was to turn off automatic band selection in the wifi router settings. Apparently the network card couldn't handle when the band changed (something that the router did seemingly randomly), and so the network card errored out and stopped working until it was reset. However, after I turned off automatic band selection there hasn't been another issue, with that machine.

Everyone, try removing the driver then shutting down the OS, not reset/reboot. I've been fighting this for 2 days straight and even after a complete OS reinstall/downgrade from 11 to 10 the problem is still there. Immediately after the reinstall the wifi adapter worked, but after a few reboots it went back to the same issues/events in the system log. Then I tried removing the driver and shutting down completely before powering back on and the wifi is now working. For how long who knows, but give this a shot if you are struggling.

I tried that but device manager doesn't show any network adapter. I bought a macbook air just last week and installed windows 10 (education) on it. I see only 'network controller' in device manager. On a related note, I did have problems installing Windows 10 on this macbook. After Bootcamp assistant created the windows install disk on a flash drive, the computer restarted but did not automatically go to the install disk to bbot up. I had to restart it again and hold the option key for it to do that. So I still do not get the bootcamp screen when I startup. Could my problem be related to that?

I have a similar problem, except I am using a 2008/2009 iMac (I know, ancient by now) and Windows 7. I have been using Windows 7 on this Mac with wifi for a couple years now without apparent problems, but last week my Mac wouldn't boot up (stuck in endless loading at grey screen) (Windows side did boot up and appeared fine). Long story short, the Mac drive was corrupted and I ended up having to erase my Mac HD, reinstall the OS (I stick with Snow Leopard 10.6.8 on that computer), and restore my files with a Time Machine back-up.

Now having done that the Mac side seems to be back to normal, but the Windows 7 now will not connect to the Wifi. I tried uninstalling broadcom as was suggested here and doing the hardware scan. Broadcom reappeared on the list but my wifi connection did not return. Any ideas?

I can see the wifi router but it won't connect and took some time to figure out why. My workaround this persistent connectivity issue is to unplug my external monitor before connecting to the wifi router. This indicates I may have a power supply or power management issue. This issue only occurs in Bootcamp, not macOS so it's more likely a power management issue than a power supply issue. Maybe the factory fitted dedicated NVidia GeForce 750M in the high-end late 2013 15" Macbook Pro uses a lot of power when piping to a 4K external monitor via displayport. Once I'm connected to wifi in Bootcamp I can plug the monitor back in and proceed without issues.

I am totally not sure about the true reason. But just to cope with this trouble, I believe it worth to try it. By the way, when I connect the external monitor, I use the USB-C port on right side (using USB-C > D-sub adapter).

If BC drivers are not installed yet, using Boot Camp: System requirements for Microsoft Windows operating systems - Apple Support find the W8.1 64-bit drivers appropriate for your Mac year/model and test. W10 is not officially supported yet.

If you really want to play with it, install it in VirtualBox or VMWare Fusion or something. At least the networking functions will work that way. Setting custom screen resolutions is still difficult if not impossible as it doesn't work with the display drivers in most virtualization packages that provide custom scaling, etc.

I have thoroughly read through what little documentation I've been able to find - none of which came from the manufacturer. The best resource that I've found so far, came from here: -MEGA-2560-With-WiFi-Built-in-ESP8266/

So I set the DIP switches, downloaded the FTDI drivers, installed the drivers, restarted computer. No money. The Arduino/serial port is not detected by the device manager. Mind you, no other Arduino boards that I have, are experiencing connectivity issues.

I tried manually searching for the drivers. I found what I believe are the drivers - however, they still fail to install. (I attempt this by right-clicking on the unrecognized "Other Device" in my Device Manager)

I'm not exactly an electronics whiz, so anything that should be intuitive understanding, is completely lost on me. I'd just like to know what anyone else using this board had to do to get it to work. Maybe even confirm for me exactly what the drivers are named.

I could not find an Elegoo Mega 2560 with WiFi on the web so I can't verify if it uses a FTDI TTL-to-USB or something else. Please make sure that it uses the FTDI chip. The TTL-to-USB converter on the board that is in your link seems to be a CH340 in which case you can download the drivers from -ic.com/downloads/CH341SER_ZIP.html; next unzip and run the exe.

The driver should now install successfully. After that, the CH340 -based board should appear in the "Ports (COM & LPT)" section of the Windows Device Manager device tree as "USB-SERIAL CH340 (COMn)" and the board should show up under the Arduino IDE's Tools > Port menu.

So then the next question is... Is there a manual (for dummies, so to speak) for the ESP8266? Assuming that one has little to zero knowledge of how wifi works, and this would be the segue to said knowledge?

I also did a install using the 2.0 software but used Win 7 compatibility mode. This seems to be working for now. Otherwise just point the driver search to the download from the above link from device manager and should work through windows. I like having the options of the software too though.

Other than uninstalling and re-installing the driver, what have you tried? Is there anything connected? Dock? ethernet? No physical wifi switch I assume, what about a fn key to enable/disable the wifi?
