If you want to make sure the WiFi connection of your Windows device works smoothly, or if you want to fix your wireless network issue, you should keep your WiFi driver up to date. That is, you should update the driver for your wireless network adapter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To update the WiFi driver for Windows <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There are three methods you can use to update driver for the wireless network adapter on your Windows device. The screenshots are from Windows 10, but the steps are almost identical on Windows 11.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Download your WiFi driver from your device manufacturer website<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Update your WiFi driver with Device Manager<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Update your WiFi driver automatically<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    <\/a>Method 1: Download your WiFi driver from your device manufacturer’s website<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    You can download your wireless adapter driver from the official website of your device manufacturer, then install the driver manually. To do so:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    1)<\/strong> Go to the official website of your device manufacturer<\/strong> (either of your wireless adapter or of your computer), then search your product model<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    2)<\/strong> Go to the driver download page<\/strong> or the support page<\/strong> of your product. Then download the driver for your wireless adapter to your computer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Download the driver that’s suitable for your variant of Windows system. You should know what system is running on your computer — whether it’s Windows 7, 8, 10 or 11, 32-bit or 64-bit version, etc.<\/span><\/div>\n\n\n\n

    3)<\/strong> Open the downloaded file and follow the on-screen instructions to install the driver on your computer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    <\/a>Method 2: Update your WiFi driver with Device Manager<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    You can also use Device Manager to update your WiFi network adapter driver. Here’s how to use it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    1)<\/strong> Press the Windows logo key<\/strong> and R<\/strong> on your keyboard to invoke the Run<\/em> box.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    2)<\/strong> Type “devmgmt.msc<\/em>“, then press Enter<\/strong> on your keyboard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    3)<\/strong> Double click Network adapters<\/strong>. Right click your wireless network adapter<\/strong>, then click Update driver<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    <\/a>Method 3: Update your WiFi driver automatically<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    If you don’t have the time, patience or skills to update your driver manually, you can do it automatically with Driver Easy<\/strong><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Driver Easy<\/strong> will automatically recognize your system and find the correct drivers for it. You don\u2019t need to know exactly what system your computer is running, you don\u2019t need to risk downloading and installing the wrong driver, and you don\u2019t need to worry about making a mistake when installing.<\/span> Driver Easy handles it all.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    All it takes is just a few clicks:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    1) <\/strong>Download<\/strong><\/a> and install <\/span>Driver Easy<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    2) <\/strong>Run <\/span>Driver Easy<\/strong> and click the <\/span>Scan Now<\/strong> button. <\/span>Driver Easy<\/strong> will then scan your computer and detect any problem drivers.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    3)<\/strong> <\/span>Check if your wireless adapter driver is flagged in the scan results. If it is, click Activate & Update<\/strong> to <\/a>start a 7-day free trial<\/strong> <\/a>or upgrade to <\/a>Driver Easy Pro<\/a><\/strong>.
