Itried 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.


WiFi-22.180.0-Drive64-Win10-Win11.exe is the one that I selected and tried to install but it keeps coming back with the error "One or more issues caused the setup to fail. Please fix the issues and then retry setup"


Because I have no idea what the issues are I don't know how to install it successfully. Could you help me to solve this problem? The current wifi adapter of my laptop is Intel(R) Wi-Fi 6 AX201 160MHz.


Thank you. I tried what you said and it worked. For everyone else, download the above zip file, extract it to your desired location, and then open up Device Manager. In the network adapters section, locate the wifi adapter. Its typically named in the format Intel(R) Wi-Fi (wifi version) (model). Basically, the device that is NOT labeled WAN miniport. Right click on it, select update driver, then select browse my computer for drivers and input the folder location where you extracted the zip. Hit continue and all should be well.


Extract it to a folder, go to Device Manager and look for the Wi-Fi adapter, e.g. Intel(R) Wi-Fi 6 AX201 160MHz, right-click and select Update Drivers, choose Browse my computer for drivers, navigate to the folder above, wala... installed.

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?


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.


Can any one advise on how to solve this issue for both network adapters and the wifi so the PG can connect to internet regardless if through a cable or WiFi to check if there is any windows update for the windows 10 and to proceed with my work.
