I got my MP mini 210 a few days ago with XP home. I upgraded it to WIndows 7 yesterday. After install everything was humming just fine, even the wireless. I thought this is to good to be true. Then Windows installed 21 updates. It was after the updates that my wireless was hosed. Same problems everybody else has documented ihere. I think it something in those updates is conflicting with the Broadcom 4313 driver.
The older version of the Broadcom wireless driver did not fix the problem. Wireless connection was still intermitent. Sometimes it would see my home wireless and sometime it would report no wireless available. I tried various things all weekend.
Well after I did this update all my wireless problems went away. Perhaps the Realtek driver was clobbering the Broadcom wireless. I think HP knew there was a problem and got Microsoft to send out update to
fix.it. Just my guess.

Well after my last post, after installing windows update, my wireless was fine for a few days and then the problem came back. Sometimes it sees wireless networks and sometime it says none available. Once it see none available repeated restarts do not help.
I have the HP Mini 210 HD, WG924AV. I ordered it with XP and installed a legit copy of WIndows 7 Enterprise 32 bit. At this point I'm thinking of trying a USB wireless adapter or going back to XP. It's very frustrating. At this point all I have is a $400 "mini" Boat Anchor. So my problem is not solved, and I'd tag it such if I know how on this thread.
In the Windows Update I found that Realtek lan driver update, did it, *NOTHING* changed, still the same... I just tried hibernating it and waking it up and now the wireless just connected, then I started downloading and installing the Live Messenger (it's a brand new fresh install of Win7 after format) and BAM, disconnected again in the middle of the download!!
I started looking at the advanced properties in device manager for the Broadcom 4313. The setting for Mixed Cell support was set disabled. From reading other blogs they indicated it should be set to enabled. I checked my other dell laptop and my wifes (which use Dell wireless controller, probably a quallcom) and they were set to enable. So I enabled it, rebooted and wahla the wireless saw my wireless router and connected. I''ve rebooted about 5 times now and it's still connecting. I'll see how it go's over the next few days and see if it connects to my work secure wireless.
None of my previous "fixes" worked for more than a day or two. This is my final post about this. I went from win7 32bit and installed 64bit. The wireless network seems to being doing better with win7 64bit but occasionally it still reports no networks available. When that happens if I hibernate it and bring it back up with the power switch it always seems to then find the available wireless networks. So I can live with that.
One more thing I noticed is that after actually finding a connection, connecting to it, and then eventually losing the connection, if there were any other connections within range, they are still shown on the list.
I too tried some of them fixes found above. Same as with other users, they worked but only for a few days. Seeing that the rest of the proposed solutions also only work for a few days, I don't even care to try them. Moving to windows 7 64 bit seems to work for some but not for others, so I am not sure I will go through the trouble. Moving to XP seems to work, if I understood correctly, and I might be forced to that, if necessary. Right now, I am considering buying a USB internet stick for the coming month.
I wonder, has HP not issued any formal response regarding this issue? They must have thousands of users encountering these issues, and they can not just shrug off the responsibility. Do you think they are about to come up with a solution in the near future? Is there anyway to contact HP regarding this issue?
We got the HP 210-1070ed mini pc with the Broadcom wifi chipset and Microsoft Windows 7 Starter. Due to the lack of features in this version of windows we purchased a license for Windows 7 Ultimate 32bit. After installation we had the same problems as described above. We first contacted Microsoft but they referred us to HP and we tried all solutions as proposed here.
The HP helpdesk told us they do not support any upgraded versions, which I find strange for I upgraded from windows 7 to windows 7 (right?). Also, on the dutch website it says there are no known problems with the drivers and windows 7 ultimate. When we asked the helpdesk employee to read the license agreement to us, she replied that she had no time to help us and she hung up the phone on us.
I find it inapprehensible that a major computer company like HP does still not recognize the problem and refuses to help its customers. In the future we will think twice before buying anything from HP again and we'll advice other people to do so as well.
I have an old Acer Aspire (32-bit) laptop with an Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG adapter from 2008. Having just forced it to upgrade from Windows 7 to Windows 10, I noticed straight away that the wireless was not working (maybe that's why I didn't ever see the Microsoft upgrade option).
I downloaded the -PROSet-Wireless-Software-and-Drivers-for-IT-Admins?httpDown= _18.11.0_De132.zip Wireless_18.11.0_De132.zip from this page: then ran the DPInst32.exe file inside the .zip. Nothing much seemed to happen, but on checking Device Manager, the system indicated that the driver is installed but "the device failed to start". I disabled the device, then enabled it - still nothing... getting bored I decided to reboot the machine and start looking for my USB adapter...
Anyway it rebooted, connected to my network and is running perfectly. Not bad for an old Vista machine. Maybe the driver was installed all along and all I needed to do was reboot the machine in the first place. I don't know, drivers aren't really my thing! I thought I'd post this just in case there are other people with similar antique machines lying around.
I've tried the solution listed above, but it hasn't made a difference. I realise that this adapter is now unsupported, but I wondered if you had any advice as to how to fix this issue, maybe a replacement driver or something?
Since the Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection is not supported by Microsoft Windows* 10, we would not expect it to work properly. Intel does not provide drivers for this configuration, and we are not aware of possible workarounds.
If Windows* is not able to locate a driver from Microsoft* using Windows* Updates, then we would advise you to check with the Computer Manufacturer Support to confirm if your system is meant to be used with Windows* 10.
No wifi after upgrading from Win 7 Ultimate to Win 10 and Device Manager displayed the following message in the Device Properties dialog box, on the General tab, in the Device Status text box: "This device cannot find enough free resources that it can use. If you want to use this device, you will need to disable one of the other devices on this system. (Code 12)".
The following actions rectified the problem and might be worth a try for other people. One thing it demonstrates is that the Intel legacy wifi driver (Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection) works in Win 10 although no longer supported by Intel or Microsoft. In my case it involved disabling PCMCIA drivers (I do not use the PCMCIA card reader but there could be other options not tested). It was tested and worked in a Fujitsu Tablet ST5112 with a Centrino processor, running Win 10 Pro, 32bit as follows:
I probably found the solution for the Wireless disconnect after waking up from sleep mode with the Intel 3945ABG. I simply disabled the "Computer can disable the device to save energy" option. The option can be found in the Network Adapter configuration at configure - Energy saving options. As I have a German OS, the english terms might be different, but you will get the respective options by its meaning :-).
I found that disabling the PCMCIA Controller on my Fujitsu Lifebook N Series N6410 is what worked for me. I never use, nor have never used, the PCMCIA ports. I know this is an older thread but thought I would put it out there for people to see.
I'm sure that Intel will not mind me mentioning that the simplest solution to the Acer Aspire 5920 and Windows 10 wifi compatibility issue is to replace the Intel mini-PCIe adapter/card with the equivalent Broadcom card (the ethernet driver in this PC is already Broadcom). The equivalent wifi card is the BCM94311MCG at the dizzy cost of 4.00 from eBay. Very easy to fit (see YouTube) and installs perfectly and quickly DURING AND AFTER boot (so give it a chance) and assuming you have your ethernet cable fitted and working.
Another simple solution I was using was to just buy a tiny USB wireless dongle for 3 bucks from ebay, that did the trick too., but it's nice not to have any unnecessary peripherals hanging on the side.
