In our today's article, we will analyze with you such a thing as drivers for Wi-Fi adapters. As many of you may already know, such devices are located mostly in the form of a built-in module for laptops, but there are cases when users of stationary computers also install Wi-Fi systems adapters. Who wants to mess with wires, right?
All devices in the PC will not function correctly and perform the work assigned to them by the developers without certain software, i.e. drivers. Wi-Fi adapters also need drivers to work properly. But what drivers need to be installed on the system and how to do it? Let's take a look at these questions and more.
Installing the Wi-Fi adapter driver
So which drivers do you need to install? Well, the Wi-Fi adapter installed in your laptop or possibly a PC requires the installation of the very driver that was provided by its developer. You can find these drivers on the official website of the device developer. Among other things, your system may try to automatically find the correct driver for the Wi-Fi adapter on the network and install it, but this does not always work correctly.
Now we will take a closer look at the steps required to install the Wi-Fi adapter driver on computers running such operating systems as Windows 7, Windows 8 and Windows 10. It is worth noting that these operating systems differ from each other in terms of user interface, especially Windows 10 and Windows 7, however, the process of installing drivers is absolutely identical on all of them, which is good news.
Automatic installation of the Wi-Fi adapter driver
Let's start with the most basic way to install drivers for any device on the system. So, you don't have to bother with installing the Wi-Fi adapter driver at all - and leave this problem on your shoulders. operating system Windows. Your OS will try to find the driver for your Wi-Fi adapter on the Internet and install it. The disadvantage of this installation method is that the system quite often simply cannot find the required driver, as a result of which you have to resort to manual way installation.
However, sometimes the system still manages to find the driver and install it correctly. As a rule, when accessing the Internet, the operating system will attempt to install the driver on its own, however, often, this may not happen. To start it automatic installation driver for the Wi-Fi adapter, you need to do the following:
- press combination Windows + R;
- enter the command in the line devmgmt.msc;
- press Enter;
The note: your Wi-Fi adapter may be in this section for an obvious reason - the system did not install drivers for this device or could not do it the first time.
- click on device right click mice;
- select the item "Automatically search for updated drivers ...";
After selecting the above item, your operating system will execute automatic search and the same installation of the found drivers for the device, which in our case is a Wi-Fi adapter. The OS may or may not install the driver. Here's how it goes. However, do not worry if the OS fails to install automatically, as you can do it yourself ...
Manual installation of the Wi-Fi adapter driver
Let's now see how to manually install the driver for the Wi-Fi adapter. So, there is nothing easier than installing a driver for a device: go to the manufacturer's official website, go to the downloads section, download the required driver on a PC and install it into the system using the most convenient installation package.
If you are the owner of a laptop, then you need to go for the driver to the official website of the manufacturer of the laptop itself, for example, ASUS, Acer or Lenovo. If you encounter any problems when installing the driver through the downloaded installer, then you can apply, so to speak, a semi-automatic installation method - through the Device Manager, indicating the driver directory on the PC.
To do this, you need to do the following:
- go to the downloads section of the official manufacturer of your Wi-Fi adapter (or laptop);
- download the driver package to your computer;
- press combination Windows + R;
- enter the command in the line devmgmt.msc;
- press Enter;
- find the section "Other devices" in the list;
- find the Wi-Fi adapter in the list of other devices;
- click on device right click;
- select the "Properties" item from the context menu;
- go to the "Driver" tab;
- click on the "Update driver ..." button;
- click on the item "Search for drivers on this computer";
- click on the "Browse" button and specify the directory where the downloaded drivers are located, for example, Desktop ";
- click the "Next" button and wait for the driver installation to complete.
Reinstalling the driver for the Wi-Fi adapter
There is a possibility that after installing the driver for your Wi-Fi adapter, you will encounter a number of not very pleasant problems, for example, the adapter will not work correctly or even function at all, despite the fact that it is displayed in the Device Manager. Complete reinstallation of the installed driver can help in this situation.
It can be done using the following steps:
- press combination Windows + R;
- enter the command in the line devmgmt.msc;
- press Enter;
- find the "Network adapters" section in the list;
- find the Wi-Fi adapter in the list of other devices;
- click on device right click;
- select "Remove device";
- click on the "Action" button in the menu bar;
- select "Update hardware configuration".
The system will try to automatically update the driver for your Wi-Fi adapter after detecting it in the list of computer hardware. If she does not succeed, you will have to download the driver to your computer, and then install it using the installer from the manufacturer or through the Device Manager.

Sometimes it is very difficult to get it to work, and you will find out how you can get through to this device just below ...
First of all, I would like to make a small remark about the drivers for the Acer Wi-Fi. These manufacturers produced a lot of things. And to bring his brainchild to mind was not enough for him. I had to spend a lot, a lot of time just for the sake of digging on the Internet exactly those firewood that would make this cattle work ... No words, as always, some emotions.
I had to really download everything and install. But no matter how much I bet, they didn't work. Downloaded official assemblies of all drivers for the model Acer aspire 5750ZG, but they all worked awkwardly. Some nonsense was written like: some file cannot be copied to C: / Windows / TEMP / temp ... and something else. Nerves were stretched like an arrow, but a surprise came to the rescue. I decided to look for drivers specifically for the WiFi Atheros (Qualcomm) device. And lo and behold, when manually installing them - they EARNED. Mega Hurray!
Please pay attention. These drivers are not for a specific laptop, namely for the device that are installed on Acer laptops and even Shitty-Lenovo kitay sovo. Therefore, they should (their mother ...) work on your laptop!
HOW TO INSTALL these drivers?
It's simple. See images:
First, find your computer in the Start menu. Next, right-click on Computer and then Manage.
You will get a window. Find Device Manager there (LEFT!). Then find the devices Network adapters where there is an icon with a QUESTION. You might have an unknown Wifi device or something. In general, look for where the letters Wifi are or network adapter... I already tried to put firewood, so it already worked for me and designated itself EVEN as Wifi ...
Click on this device with the right mouse button. Then Update Driver.
After DOWNLOAD the archive, which is located BELOW. Unpack it and indicate the path where its files are located:
Everything. This thing works now.

It's no secret that all the necessary drivers for your computer can be downloaded on the Internet. But what if the drivers for network adapters are not installed on a freshly installed Windows. To solve this problem, an offline driver pack of network devices comes to our aid, which can be downloaded to a USB flash drive and installed in a few clicks in manual or automatic mode.
Driver packs of network cards and Wi-Fi adapters are presented in 3 formats - zip, exe, 7z.
- ZIP- no archiving program is required to unpack files. The unzipping of files is handled by the Windows system itself. You can unzip a separate folder if you know the manufacturer of the drivers.
- 7Z- here, to unpack files, an archiver program is required, for example 7z or Winrar. You can also unzip a separate folder if you know the manufacturer of the drivers.
- SFX archive (EXE)- such an archive can be unpacked on any computer, even in the absence of an archiver program, but you cannot unpack a separate folder here.

If the Wi-Fi adapter does not work or does not work properly, the reason for this may be the wrong drivers for it. This article shows you step by step how to install and reinstall, update or uninstall the Wi-Fi adapter driver on your laptop in Wondows 10, 8 and Windows 7.
Note: If the reason that you were looking for instructions on how to download and install a driver on Wi-Fi is that it does not work, and a red cross is shown in the connection icon, then this article can help you: (since this is not necessarily in the drivers).
Often, in order to update the driver of the wireless Wi-Fi adapter, the user goes to the manager Windows devices, selects under "Network adapters" required adapter, and then on the "Driver" tab clicks the "Update" button (or "Update driver" in context menu). And he receives a logical report from the system that the driver does not need to be updated.
It is important to understand here: this message does not mean that you have the correct driver installed - it only says that there is no other driver in Windows and there is no other driver in the Update Center (in the same way, the message in the manager "The device is working normally" often means only that it does not cause conflicts and errors in Windows, but not that it really works as it should, and as a rule, all these issues are resolved by installing the original driver specifically for your laptop model.
Installing original Wi-Fi drivers on a laptop
The most correct way to install drivers, which usually fixes wireless problems, is to install the official drivers from the laptop manufacturer's website. This usually requires the following simple steps.
During the installation and download process, some problems are possible, in particular:
- There is no driver for the current version of Windows - then feel free to download for the previous one, they are usually installed, and if installed, they work (sometimes you need to run the installer in compatibility mode).
- The official site has several Wi-Fi drivers, such as Ralink, Qualcomm and Intel - it's not clear which one to download. This issue will be discussed further in the next section.
How to find out which Wi-Fi adapter driver you need
If there are several different drivers for Wi-Fi on the official website, or suddenly there is none, then you can find out which driver you need in the following way:
After you know the name of the wireless network adapter, you can download the driver for it from the official website or simply find it on the Internet at trusted sources.
Another way to install the wireless driver
If your Internet via Wi-Fi stopped working stably or stopped working altogether, while everything was in order before (and the system and drivers were not reinstalled), the following method can help, without downloading any additional drivers.
How to uninstall the Wi-Fi adapter driver
Well, in conclusion, about removing the driver, which may sometimes be required to install the original Wi-Fi driver.
In the same way as in the previous steps, go to the properties of the wireless adapter, and then on the "Driver" tab, click the "Uninstall" button and agree to uninstall the driver.
After uninstalling, run the installation of the original driver - if previously there were problems with it, it is most likely now that it will be successful.
Do you want to get rid of the hated Internet wires? Then you just need to download the WiFi driver for Windows 10. Of course, the presence of a WiFi module in your device is also required, but now almost all modern devices have such modules.
Peculiarities
WiFi technology is widespread all over the world, so manufacturers of computers, laptops and tablets are trying to equip their devices with special WiFi modules that allow them to provide wireless access to the Internet. But this is not the only purpose of the drivers, in addition to this, the drivers allow:- Establish the work of the WiFi network;
- Establish wireless printing;
- Establish wireless communication with other WiFi devices;
The drivers are distributed free of charge and are available for 32-bit and 64-bit operating systems. A Russian version is available for you. But you are unlikely to appreciate this much, since the Russian language is needed only for installation, then you will no longer see the driver interface. But if you have the whole system for some reason still on English language then you can translate it without any problem. You don't have to sit with
The question of how to find and download a driver for a USB wifi adapter 802.11 n becomes in recent times more and more relevant, since it is these simple devices that are increasingly ordered on the Internet today. I, too, have recently become addicted to taking network adapters in China, since it costs much more profitable than ours, despite the fact that the quality of the goods is absolutely the same.
Particularly popular for their low cost are devices from little-known Chinese brands- Comfast, Edimax, Ralink, Edup, LB-Link, Kebidu, Elisona and so on. For all their advantages, there are three big disadvantages that you often have to deal with:
- lack of russification
- vague support and software updates
- it is not clear how to download the drivers
How to download the driver for the 802.11n USB wifi adapter?
To be honest, I personally have a problem with installing a driver for network wifi I rarely come across an adapter - Windows 10 finds them automatically in most cases. For example, connecting a TP-Link adapter, it is immediately found in the list of connected devices.
But even if this did not happen, always complete with USB adapter Our Chinese friends send us a CD with drivers, which is enough to insert into the CD drive and install by running the “Setup.exe” program.
It is more difficult for those who do not have this drive. For them, it will be written this instruction... So, to start looking for firewood, we need to find out what kind of device is installed in the computer. To do this, go through the "Start" menu to the "Windows" device manager
and look for the section "Network adapters" here. I see an unknown device for which Windows could not find a driver - "802.11n WLAN". Click on it with the right mouse button and go to "Properties"
Switch to the "Information" tab and select "Equipment ID" from the drop-down list
We see two lines - this is the identifier of our adapter. We can use it to find drivers.
Now go to the site DriverPack Solution we write the first line from this window.
As a result of the search, we find the required driver for the 802.11 n wifi adapter. As you can see, the site automatically determined that I have Windows 10 (64x) installed on my computer - all that remains is to download it from the link
Run the downloaded file
We check the device in the manager - yes, the adapter has been identified. Now you can connect with this computer via wifi to the Internet.
As you can see this way Driver installation for USB WiFi 802.11 n adapter is very simple and does not require any special knowledge. He never let me down, use it too!
I recently bought two Chinese USB Wi-Fi adapters on AliExpress, which I described in the article. And in this article, I decided to raise one very important and painful issue for many - finding and installing a driver for a Wi-Fi adapter from China. Which was bought from some overseas online store, such as AliExpress, eBay, etc.
To begin with, I will try to explain what is the general difference between a Chinese Wi-Fi adapter, which most often does not even have a manufacturer and model, but they are usually called "USB Wi-Fi adapter 150 Mbps 802.11N ..." (or somehow so) and a branded adapter, which can be bought in our stores. I will introduce adapters from ASUS, D-Link, TP-Link, Tenda and other manufacturers represented by us. It is clear that there may be a difference in quality, reliability, etc. But as for the drivers, which are most often necessary for the normal operation of a Wi-Fi adapter, it is easier to find them for branded adapters. Since the popular manufacturer has a website where you can download the necessary driver.
And if we have Chinese wireless adapter, which does not even have a normal name, it is not entirely clear where to look for these drivers. In my case, there was a disk with the adapters that contains all the necessary drivers. But as far as I understand, such a disk with drivers is not always available, or the drivers that are on this disk are not always suitable.
I do not argue that there are Chinese manufacturers whose equipment is not represented in our market, but they all have their own sites where you can download the necessary drivers. For example, manufacturer EDUP. They have a lot of different network devices... Using the EDUP adapter as an example, we will look at the process of finding and installing software.
There are many more popular manufacturers, for example: Elisona, Chipal, Kebidu, Rocketek, COMFAST, Fenvi. These devices can hardly be found in our market. (if we are talking specifically about Wi-Fi receivers), but they are very actively ordered on the same AliExpress. Well, not everyone understands where to get the driver for the adapter, which is usually called "802.11n", or "Mini-PC WiFi adapter 150m USB Wi-Fi Wireless network card 802.11n / g / b LAN "🙂
If you have Windows 10 installed on your computer, then most likely there will be no problems with connecting and configuring such a wireless adapter. I've already checked. Windows 10 recognized both of my adapters and started working with them without installing drivers. But in Windows 8, Windows 7, and even more so in Windows XP, you will most likely have to manually install everything.
Following this instruction, you can find a driver for almost any USB or PCI Wi-Fi adapter. It doesn't matter if it is branded or not. Purchased from us or China.
Here it is also important to understand that any Chinese and "not Chinese" (although assembled there) the adapter runs on a specific chip. This means that a piece of hardware is installed inside it, most likely from one of these manufacturers: Ralink, MediaTek, Broadcom, Qualcomm Atheros, Realtek, Intel. In the description of the product itself, it is usually indicated on which chipset it works. And for this chipset there must be a driver developed by the company that actually produces these chipsets. Therefore, in order for the computer to see our unnamed adapter, it is enough to find and slip it a driver from the chipset on which it is built. It's simple.
Connecting and configuring a Chinese Wi-Fi adapter 802.11n
First, I'll show you how you can do without the complicated process of finding the right driver. Perhaps we will be lucky and the computer will make friends with adapters without much dancing with a tambourine 🙂
Let's look at an example of an 802.11n adapter from EDUP. I have one, so everything has been tested on my own experience. There is also "easy idea wifi N", but everything is identical there with EDUP. Checked it out. And so, we connect the adapter to the computer. Can be directly connected to USB port.
Or via a USB extension cable. It can be used to move the adapter higher for better reception. Just don't use a long extension cord, there may be problems.
Of course, a lot depends on the operating system installed on your PC. Again, in my case, both adapters immediately worked in Windows 10. In the device manager, they are defined as 802.11n USB Wireless LAN Card.
If the computer does not see the adapter, or rather cannot automatically install a driver for it, then try installing the driver from the disk that should be included. I had a disk with each adapter.
As a rule, the disk contains drivers for Windows, Mac OS and Linux. If the file Setup.exe is there, then just run it and follow the installation instructions. And if there is just a set different files in folders, then you need to install it through the device manager. Below in the article I will show you how to do this.
If the adapter appears in the device manager in the "Network adapters" section and the computer detects available Wi-Fi networks, then you're done. You can connect to your wireless network. Further reading is optional 🙂
How do I find a driver for an unknown 802.11n WLAN Wi-Fi adapter?
I connected my Chinese EDUP USB adapter to my Windows 7 computer, and of course I saw the message "The software for the device was not installed." 802.11n WLAN - Failed to find driver. This can even happen in Windows 10. It does not always automatically install a dozen software.
The solution to the problem is to search for a driver by "hardware ID". Now I'll show you everything in detail. If there was a disk bundled with the WLAN receiver, then you can try to install the software from there. If not, follow the instructions.
I will immediately answer the popular question: "How can I download a driver if there is no Internet on the computer? The adapter does not work yet, I cannot connect to the Internet." This is understandable, and it seems to me that there are no options here. Either connect your computer to the Internet via a cable and configure the wireless adapter, or download the necessary drivers on another computer. No other way.
We go to the device manager. You can open it different ways... Through search, through "Properties" in "My Computer", or by the command devmgmt.msc, which you need to enter in the "Run" window, which in turn can be opened by pressing the key combination Win + R.
There, in the "Other devices" section, there should be an unknown "802.11 n WLAN" device with a yellow exclamation mark. This is our adapter. You need to find out the "equipment ID". To do this, open its "Properties".
You must paste the copied line into the search field. It will also most likely need to be shortened.
I originally had USB \ VID_148F & PID_7601 & REV_0000
Finds only by USB \ VID_148F & PID_7601
We start the search by clicking on Enter, or the "Search" button.
A list with drivers for our wireless USB receiver will appear. As a rule, the first on the list is the most new driver... You can also choose Windows version that is installed on your computer. For the driver to fit.
My case: I downloaded the first driver - I could not install it (most likely because it was for Windows 8). I downloaded the second one - everything worked out. Conclusions: if it didn't work the first time, try downloading another one (second in the list, third).
We choose the required option:
We confirm that "I am not a robot" and click on the link where you can download the archive with the driver.
Update. Important! At the time of this writing, an archive with necessary drivers... The DevID Driver Installer is currently being downloaded there. Use it at your own risk. Or use this site to determine the manufacturer (model) of your adapter. After that, the driver can be found through a search on other sites. Best of all on the official website of the chipset manufacturer on which the adapter is built.
We save the archive to your computer. Next, we extract the files and folders of their archive. For interest, you can open the folder. See what's there. As you can see, in my case, at the root of the driver folder for Windows 7. And there is also a folder with drivers for Windows XP.
If there is a Setup.exe file, you can try to install the driver by running this file. If not, I'll show you what to do now.
Install the driver for 802.11n WLAN Adapter from the folder
Go to the device manager again. Right click on "802.11n WLAN" and select "Update Drivers".
Click on "Search for drivers on this computer".
If all is well, the software installation process will proceed and a message will appear that the driver installation for the 802.11n USB Wireless LAN Card is complete.
Our Chinese USB Wi-Fi adapter has appeared in the device manager.
Wi-Fi on my computer started working right away. A Wi-Fi network icon has appeared with a list of wireless networks available for connection.
That's it, the installation and configuration process is complete. I really hope that everything worked out for you.
Additional Information
If after connecting the adapter to the USB port of the computer, there is no reaction at all (no message, the device itself in the device manager, sound signal) , then try connecting to a different port. Without extension cord (if you have one)... Also check the adapter itself on another computer. Maybe he's just not working.
It often happens that everything seems to be cured, the driver is installed, but the computer does not see the Wi-Fi network. And a red cross next to the wireless network icon. From my own experience, the problem is that the WLAN autoconfiguration service is disabled on your PC. You just need to run it according to the instructions. Or the adapter itself cannot catch the Wi-Fi network. Perhaps the antenna is poorly screwed (if any), or you need to raise it higher. You can use a USB extension cable for this.
Summing up, I can say that the very process of installing the driver and Wi-Fi settings adapter ordered in Chinese online store not much more difficult than installing the same adapter from some popular manufacturer. Especially if Windows 10 is installed on the computer. Just when we have an adapter from TP-Link, for example, we have a model by which, if necessary, we can find a driver on the company's website. And with an adapter that has no name and model (802.11n is the version of the Wi-Fi network standard), you need to tinker a little.
I look forward to your comments with questions and advice.
