Как установить драйвера на wifi адаптер на windows 10

719426

Сегодня мне в комментариях подсказали один интересный способ, которым можно решить некоторые проблемы с работой Wi-Fi в Windows 10. А проблем там достаточно. На странице с инструкциями по Windows 10, можно найти уже более 10 статей с разными советами и решениями. Так вот, сегодня я покажу как обновить драйвер Wi-Fi адаптера в Windows 10 через диспетчер устройств. Мы рассмотрим именно обновление драйвера, когда система ищет драйвер на компьютере, или в интернете (если он подключен).

Этот способ должен помочь решить проблему с ошибкой «Не удается подключиться к этой сети», когда не получается включить Wi-Fi на ноутбуке (не активный переключатель), когда подключение «Ограничено» и т. д.

В любом случае, если у вас не работает Wi-Fi в Windows 10, то советы из этой статьи нужно обязательно попробовать. Эта запись, дополнение к статье Решение проблем с драйвером беспроводного Wi-Fi адаптера в Windows 10, в которой я писал о замене драйвера из списка уставленных, и о том, как его удалить и откатить.

Как обновить драйвер беспроводного адаптера в Windows 10?

Самый лучший способ, это конечно же скачать драйвер с официального сайта, для нашей модели и для Windows 10, и установить его заново. Но, как правило, такой драйвер есть не для всех ноутбуков (адаптеров). Поэтому, попробуем другой способ.

Желательно, что бы ноутбук был подключен к интернету. Да, я знаю что Wi-Fi не работает. Поэтому, если есть возможность, подключите интернет по сетевому кабелю. На время.

Дальше нужно открыть диспетчер устройств. Для этого, нажмите правой кнопкой мыши на меню пуск, и выберите «Диспетчер устройств». Или, найдите его через поиск и откройте.

Обновление драйвера через диспетчер устройств в Windows 10

Открываем вкладку «Сетевые адаптеры», находим адаптер в названии которого есть «Wi-Fi», или «Wireless», нажимаем на него правой кнопкой мыши, и выбираем «Обновить драйверы». Кстати, возле самого адаптера может быть желтый восклицательный знак. Это говорит о том, что он работает неправильно.

Если у вас вообще нет такого адаптера, то скорее всего, система не смогла подобрать драйвер. Нужно искать и устанавливать его вручную (смотрите в конце этой статьи).

Выбираем пункт «Автоматический поиск обновленных драйверов».

Пойдет поиск, и если драйвер будет найден, то вы увидите процесс его установки.

И сообщение об успешной установке.

Поиск драйвера Wi-Fi адаптера по названию

Если на сайте производителя вашего ноутбука, или адаптера вы не можете найти драйвера для вашей модели и десятой версии Windows, но адаптер есть в диспетчере устройств, то можно попробовать найти его по названию самого адаптера.

У меня получилось. На сайте ASUS, для моего ноутбука ASUS K56CM нет драйверов для Windows 10. Но, я нашел их по названию адаптера. Что бы не переписывать название в поиск вручную, его можно скопировать.

Нажимаем на адаптер правой кнопкой мыши и выбираем «Свойства». Затем, переходим на вкладку «Сведения». Нажимаем правой кнопкой мыши на название, и выбираем «Скопировать».

Поиск драйвера по названию Wireless адаптера

Ищем по названию в Яндексе, или Google.

Установка драйвера через диспетчер устройств (если нет .exe файла)

Возможно, вы скачаете драйвер в архиве (rar, или zip), где не будет установщика (файла с расширением .exe, после запуска которого пойдет установка). Что бы его установить, нужно извлечь содержимое архива, снова открыть диспетчер устройств, на вкладке «Сетевые адаптеры» нажать правой кнопкой на наш адаптер и выбрать «Обновить драйверы» (писал об этом выше).

Если адаптера у вас нет (драйвер еще не установлен), то он будет как «Неизвестное устройство» с желтым значком. Нажимаем на него. Если их несколько, то используем «метод тыка» (проверяем каждый).

Wi-Fi адаптер как неизвестное устройство

Выбираем пункт «Выполнить поиск драйверов на этом компьютере».

"Выполнить поиск драйверов на этом компьютере"

Нажав на кнопку «Обзор», выбираем папку, в которую мы извлекли скачанные драйвера. Нажимаем на кнопку «Далее».

Обновление драйвера с папки

Если повезет, то система установит драйвер, и Wi-Fi у вас будет работать.
