Windows 8.1 Wifi Problem

[Giancarlo Stewart]

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.

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 recently started having colleagues with Mac books running bootcamp to Windows 10 (Broadcom 802.11ac wireless adapters) connecting to wifi but whilst I can ping and run nslookups web pages do not load. These same machines work correctly when hot spot over 4G cellular.

Both networks having the issue have Meraki MR52 access points. After ruling out wired infrastructure & firewalls I believe the issue is with the Meraki infrastructure. To test this I've brought one of the devices home to my MR33 network and can replicate the issue (different switches and firewalls).

Thanks B. That was one of the steps taken to ensure that drivers are up to date. Then I also manually removed and tried adding a few older drivers but it kept suggesting that I had the most current driver.

I think i may have temporarily solved the issue so gives me more time to try to figure a permanent solution. It may or may not be now the Broadcom card with the specific driver version interacts with Meraki or just the wifi card(s) being an issue. All the info documented here:

I have a similar problem to this except my machines are running macOS 10.14.4-10.15.1 (I am not running bootcamp) with MR34 APs on Meraki firmware 25.14. This occurs with 2018 13" MacBook Airs (MacBookAir8,1) on the AirPort Extreme (0x14E4, 0x843) wifi card with firmware 9.113.2.0.32.5.36 (macOS 10.15.1). The symptom seems to be that all of a sudden the device stops being able to access the Internet and/or Internet speed grinds to a complete halt. For example running the speed test on my.meraki.com while this is happening I see throughput at 0.24 Mbps whereas when things are working fine I am at 75 Mbps+. While the problematic client speed drops to 0 I am able to speed test on another laptop, connected to the same AP on the same 5Ghz radio and speed test at 75 Mbps+ at my.meraki.com. When the problematic client speed drops, I am still able to ping the AP, my local gateway, and Google DNS with very little latency and zero dropped packets from the problematic device.

As a test I created a new SSID and disabled the 5Ghz radio. I migrated the problematic client to this SSID and I have not had this problem reoccur. It seems to be related to the 5Ghz radio either on the Meraki side or on my Macs. I have expanded my test to a few more devices to see if this continues to "help" with the situation. I have a case open with Meraki on this and I will be opening one with Apple next week.

Discovered I had this issue today and after lots of mucking around (over several hours), removing the wifi adapter in Device Manager, along with the current drivers for it, and re-adding it via a scan (as described above by michaelpersaud ) fixed it.

My Macbook booted into OSX 10.14 initially connected fine to the Meraki AP and another AP we have at home, and browsed sites fine on either SSID from either AP.

When booted into Windows 10 the device was fine on the other brand AP, but while it connected to the Meraki AP and got an IP (DHCP), gateway and DNS address fine (and could ping stuff on site or off fine) web pages would take minutes to load, would partial load or wouldn't load (Chrome and Edge)

The replacement of the wifi adapter drivers has pages loading snappy again via the Meraki AP. Note that my iPhone on the Meraki AP seemed fine (Safari as browser).

I dual booted Ubuntu 17.10 in my windows 10.While working in windows wifi works fine! But in Ubuntu it is always showing "No wifi adapter found, Make sure you have a wifi adapter plugged and turned on"Not getting any solutions online! Tried some of them but not working! Help please

Problem with WIFI adapter that is always working perfectly fine when booting with Windows. I changed from Ubuntu to Fedora, thinking that the problem was the OS and after trying lots of commands, even installing again my wifi adapter card driver which was already recognized in Terminal (Intel Wi-Fi 6 AX200). But realize that this step of downloading the driver was not necessary. Wifi was appearing again in settings after restarting and accessing Windows first, then restarting and going back to Fedora again, suddenly everything worked, so the driver is not the issue here. Linux is unable to recognize it for some weird reason and this is directly related to shutting down or restarting the PC.
