Win 7 network adapter not recognized

I installed windows 7 through bootcamp. Now it does not recognize the network adapter to connect to the internet. It is asking to install drivers. Any idea where can I find drivers to connect to the internet? I also tried connecting the ethernet cable and it did not work. Thanks.

Just to be sure I understand.
Do you have Windows 7 installed on a Boot Camp partition on your MacBook Air? If so,
Which exact version of OS X and Windows 7 are you using?
Which version of Boot Camp (3.0 or 4.0) are you using?
Did you partition the MacBook Air's internal HDD using the Boot Camp Assistant?

Network adapter not working Win 7 64 bit boot camp

I have a late 2013 MBP r 15-inch 1 week old
Installed Windows 7 through boot camp and loaded the windows drivers and everything works fine except the Internet, when troubleshooting Windows said there is a problem with the wireless network adapter.
When checking in the device manager, I have only 1 unknown device and it's a Intel HM87 LPC conttoller 8c4b, I've tried updating the drivers to that with no help, still unrecognized.
Help please!

Forgot to mention that the only listed network adapter is the Broadcom 802.11ac Network adapter and it says it working fine (no errors).

Broadcom 802.11n Network Adapter not working on Windows 7 64bit

As the title suggests, my laptop (Alienware m17x) is installed with the Broadcom 802.11n Network Adapter and Windows 7 64bit Home Premium. I have had several other driver incompatibility issues with Windows 7, but those I have slowly been able to resolve. This however just cropped up after two months of successful use. Yesterday it started failing to connect to the internet, telling me that no wireless connections are available. I live in a dorm, and everyone else on my floor has successful wireless, including my Ipod Touch, PS3 and XBox 360. I called Alienware/Dell Support and we spent hours trying to fix the problem and all look well until I rebooted my laptop this morning and the same issue reappeared. When I reboot my laptop, all I get is a notification that no networks appear in range. If I uninstall the broadcom chip and let windows install it after a boot up it works until the machine is rebooted a second time. I have tried over a dozen windows 7 drivers for the chip, and about half a dozen vista drivers and they all have the same results, works on the first boot, fails every time after that

Just registered to say, on an Alienware M17x system as well running Windows 7 Ultimate, here is a link to a solution that worked exactly for me:
http://forum.notebookreview.com/alienware/436486-guide-properly-solve-wireless-connection-problems-m17x.html
All I did was section I.a. If the link is down, I copied the only section that I needed to follow out of this guide, in order to get my wireless to work repeatedly without having to uninstall the wireless driver every single reboot. Now it works perfectly,
already connected to a wireless network on startup.
I.a. Disable Device sleep on disconnect
Some newer Nvidia Ethernet drivers have a feature called Device sleep on disconnect. This is the culprit. Normally, it should only put the Ethernet adapter to sleep when the cable is disconnected, but it's buggy and thus kills the wireless connection as
well.
Follow these steps to disable this feature on your Nvidia Ethernet Adapter:
1. Open the Windows Device Manager by hitting Win+Pause, then click on Device Manager on the left side.
2. Double-click on Network adapters.
3. Double-click on NVIDIA nForce Networking Controller (yes, that's the wired Ethernet adapter indeed).
4. Click on the Advanced tab.
5. Select Device sleep on disconnect.
6. Set the Value to Disabled.
7. Click OK and wireless should work again (might require a reboot afterwards, but probably not).

Thunderbolt Network Adapter not working after yosemite upgrade

After I upgraded to Yosemite, my MBP Retina 13" doesn't see the link on thunderbolt network adapter. The wireless is totally unreliable and freeze every few min for 1-2 min which is long enough to disconnect any sessions. Turn off and on of wireless works and recovers but it's royal pain. Any suggestions?
I scheduled call with Apple 3 times today. They call me back at the scheduled time and immediately tell me that I missed their call even though I pickup on 1st ring. Been waiting in their support queue for more than 30 min now and no one is on line yet.

the link provide above leads to http://plugable.com/2014/10/31/os-x-10-10-yosemite-ethernet-adapter-problems-we- can-help
...but these seem to be all 3rd party USB ethernet adapters and nothing to do with the Thunderbolt adapter of the thread - or am I missing something?
I have the same blooming problem, it seems to be totally hit and miss whether the adapter works or not.
I thought is was a faulty adapter, so even bought a second one for my MacBook Pro, so a bit more profit for the most profitable company in the world for a non working device. My ethernet cable works fine to an old apple USB adapter but is 90% useless with Thunderbolt.
Renewing the DHCP lease occasionally works, but totally unreliable, at the moment it fails.
Still looking for a reliable solution.
Come on Apple, please sort this out, you have a connector policy of turning everything you can into adapters and dongles rather than building them in, so you end up with a slim laptop and a bag of adapters to carry around, and then when they don't even work - doubly annoying.

HP Pavilion dv6-3043ee Realtek Network Adapter not found in Device Manager

Hi I own an HP Pavilion dv6-3043ee, 64bit and running Windows 7. And somehow the network adapter for the LAN got uninstalled for some reason. Now after posting something on the site I finally downloaded the driver for my laptop.
Now another problem, after or at the end of the installation process a pop up message was shown:
"The Realtek Network Controller was not found,
If Deep Sleep Mode is enabled Please Plug the Cable."
Now I checked Device Manager to see if the Realtek Network Adapter was there but it wasn't. All I can see are:
-Atheros AR9285 802.11b/g/n Wifi Adapter
-Bluetooth Device (Personal Area Network)
-Bluetooth Device (RFCOMM Protocl TDI)
-TAP-Windows Adapter V9
Someone please help. Thank you.

If device is identified but there is no driver for it, it will be appeared as unknown device in Device Manager with question mark icon (?), are you seeing such thing in device manager?
If not, you should refer to your PC manufacturer's website and download.
Make sure report this issue using Feedback App.

HP ENVY Rove 20 - Network Adapter not showing after Windows 10 Upgrade

After upgrading to Windows 10 the Network Adapter does not show up. Verified in Device Manager that there is no issue and the driver is there. Removed the device from device manager, attempted to use a different driver, still no success.

Really disappointed in HP for not being ready for W10 rollout. I upgraded my HP Envy desktop PC 700-214 and after the upgrade, I could not connect to the internet. Didn't recognize the networking hardware. Went to HP Support (on different computer) and found out here aren't W10 drivers yet for this machine. Very Poor.My wife has a Dell laptop and we have another older Dell that upgraded no problem. Why because Dell is on top of their $__t when it comes to this stuff.Won't by HP again.Did you not try to reinstall the last support Drivers into Windows 10 to see if it works? Also with the lastest Windows HP will probably not support redoing drivers for older system as that will be cost prohibited to do. And it will be up to the Endusers to find the right drivers and software that matches their system to work with Windows 10 assuming they work with Windows 10. As to Dell that is something only Dell can answer that question and since we don't know if this is Dell Consumer or Business product since this falls outside of HP forums to discuss. You can't expect to have drivers if your system is too old to support Windows 10.

Windows 10 and MarvellYukon Network Adapter not responding properly

With W10 preview the "Marvell Yukon Network-Adapter" does not work properly.
It destroys the ethernet-integrity (some nodes are not shown on other computers anymore when W10 is up) und the network speed is about a few kilobits!
RDP connection to W10 machine will lost unexpectedly! It seems to be a massive driver problem.

I found the reason: after installing the new build "Jumbo Frames" were activated to 9000 .
Really mysterious, I never touched these settings ...

Network Adapter not connected to the computer. (GS70 Stealth Pro 2PE)

Hi guys, please help me.
I'm currently using a GS70 Stealth Pro 2PE. I am currently trying all means to fix my WiFi card, the Dual Band AC 7260. This has happened twice already, during the first time, I could not use WiFi at all as it says it is not connected to the computer, but after waiting for approximately for a day, it fixed itself. Which was surprisingly weird. However, it happened again after 4 months, this time, there is no way to fix it, i tried resetting the BIOS, uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers, updating it by my Ethernet cable- which it always says its up to date.....
I am really at a loss now.... Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, i have tried uninstalling the adapter and installing the one available from intel which is the wireless/proset thing. But after installing it i do not see any driver in the device manager. Only the ethernet controller is only available in the network adapter list. So it is pretty weird as in the intel website, it states that it is the driver package, but after installing it seems like a software to manage wifi or bluetooth.

Network adapter not working

Hi,
This has been quite a confusing few days with this network adapter. It's a Realtek 8139C based card, but for some reason Arch refuses to get it to work with either 8139cp or 8139too modules.
Both have been added to rc.conf modules list (independently and together) & I've tried blacklisting one then the other but eth0 still doesn't show up in ifconfig. Even with 8139cp blacklisted, at boot I still get a message about that module telling me to try 8139too instead. I also get a message saying: "PCI: Unable to reserve I/O region #1:100@de00" and that something fails with error -16.
So far, the only way I've managed to get the card working is during install and getting the setup program to probe for a driver and setup dhcp itself, which to my mind shows that the card is fine, as I managed to download the entire base package with it. If I could find out what the setup program does to get it working, it might help too.
Any ideas? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
P.S. Please forgive how vague this post is, I don't have the machine in front of me right this instant.

I did some research and found that the drivers for Linux are in the Realtek site (very hidden though ) at this URL
http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/dow … Down=false
Hope this helps.

Virtual network adapter not showing as domain network

Hi
I've got a Windows 8.1 machine that is connected to a domain on the LAN.
Before I installed Hyper-V the network showed up as "Domain Network" in the network and sharing center but when I installed Hyper-V I created a virtual switch (external) and since then the network has shown up as "Private Network".
This is on the Windows 8.1 host and the machine has full access to the LAN and the Internet and is using the domain for logins and permissions, which allows me to browse file shares on other machines on the network without having to sign-on. Most of the
time I'm not even running any virtual machines on the PC, I have Hyper-V for testing websites on different versions of IE.
The only problems I have are the network type not being detected correctly, my local firewall blocking lots of stuff I run on it (due to the firewall rules all being set up for a domain network) and also when I RDC to another machine it refuses to use saved
credentials as it can't identify the machine (I don't know if this is related to the domain network problem).
Has anyone any suggestions what could be going wrong or how I can diagnose the problem?
Thanks

Hi Mog00,
Could you please run command "ipconfig /all " and post the information here .
Maybe you can try "Troubleshoot Problems" in "Network and Sharing Center" to diagnose and repair network problems .

Wlan adapter not recognized after Standby (S205, Windows 8)

Hi!
I installed Windows 8 to my Lenovo IdeaPad S205 Netbook just a few days ago. Unfortunately, I have problems with Wlan. In the beginning, it didn`t work at all. Then I found a thread in this forum, where somebody recommended to set the network as the first booting device. Doing so made the Wlan work!
But, after using the Standby-Mode of the netbook, Wlan doesn`t work again. The system says the adapter would be deactivated, though it certainly is activated. To make Wlan work again, I have to reboot the netbook.
I also noticed that sometimes it is not possible to start the Bios while booting. Always when that`s the case, Wlan doesn`t work.
I installed the newest drivers, also a driver I got from Atheros, the newest Windows 8 updates and I tried to de-/activate Lan adapter and to change the energy management setting - without sucess.
It seems I´m not the only one with these problems, but I didn`t find any solution so far.
Do you have any idea?
Best regards
Philipp
Btw: I had no problems before with Windows 7.
Solved!

hi Phil205de,
If you're having issues accessing the BIOS after a shutdown, check this article.
As for the WLAN card not being recognized or not being able to detect wifi networks, try to:
1. Turn the computer OFF and remove the wifi antenna (see page 42 of the hardware maintenance manual)
2. Turn the computer ON and when it gets to Windows, shut the PC off.
3. Reconnect the wifi antenna and turn the PC ON.
If you still get the same problem, try to Install Ubuntu via Wubi (can be uninstalled after) and try to check if you can now detect wifi networks. If everything's ok on Ubuntu, you need to reinstall Windows and load the wireless driver on Windows Setup as discussed in this article.
Cheers

SWP 6.4 install on second computer in wifi WIN 7 network does not work for me.

Installed on my desktop, works fine. Installed on my Laptop, does not work.
As administrator I see the clip window, can open and close it but no menu, so I cannot use it.
As user the switch in the toolbar is there but it does not activate the clip window.
On both machines the OS is Win 7 Home Premium, the printer is the Smart 109B. Printing through Wifi to my printer which is attached to my desktop as a USB-printer works fine. But i take it the real printing is not involved in working with SWP. Maybe networking but I cannot find any hint. Pse help me.

Hi Tomasz,
as I figured out, this problem is related to the usage or measurement of the InDesign-document at least for me.
I create two portrait-oriented InDesign Layouts.
For the first I choose Print-usage in the New Document-dialog.
For the second I choose Web-usage in the New Document-dialog.
The first will render as bitmap (wrong).
The second will render as PDF (correct).
Folio- and Article-Image-Type is set to PDF in both cases.
Strange behavior.
Regards
Ingo

OK. Ingo, have a look:
attached below is what you see whenever you create new article. So, if you create 10 articles, you have 10 opportunities to set the rendering intent differently. I think this is wrong, as the image format setting applies to the whole folio. Or maybe it has changed recently? If not, the least what should happen is a warning, that your new choice changes the actual setting.
Cheers,
Tomek

Win 7-64 Bit not recognizing bt500 Bluetooth connection - Linux "Isadora" sees it

None of my 3 Win 7 (one is 32 bit - Other two are 64 Bit) computers will find (discover) the bt500 Bluetooth on my Photosmart C5580 all-in-one printer. Linux "Isadora" recognized it in an instant, showing the printer's IP address. Security setting is set to "Low" and "View by All" is set in "Setup." Even manually typing in IP address does not seem to work. Am I missing something here?

Far be it from us to argue with success! Congrats on finding a solution. :-)
