Wifi Driver Update

Hi Neil154,

May I know the Operating system installed?

From where did you try and install the drivers?

Click on the link below to install the latest version of Intel Wireless drivers:

Awaiting your response!

Thanks, I was able to upgrade using the link you provided.  The strange thing is that I got the errors using the drivers from Dell.  I then tried using the Intel site to automatically detect my driver and it said I was up to date but I did not have ver 16 installed so obviously that did not work correctly.

,

Now for an additional question.  The driver & wifi from your link iis for ver16 which shows up that way in my "Programs and Features" but when I go into my "Device Manager" the Wifi 5100 driver shows as version 14.3.2.1  Can you explain that to me?Thanks for your help

BTW I am using Win 7 64 bit

Hi Neil154,

It should actually show Version 16.1.1.

Before installing the wireless drivers, did you uninstall the previous one?

• Click “Start”, type “Device Manager” and press enter.
• In the “Device Manager” window, click the plus sign next to “Network adapters “to expand it.
• Under “Network adapters “, right click “Intel® Centrino® Advanced-N 6230”,click “Uninstall”.
• Check the box “Delete driver software for this device”, click ok and follow the on-screen instructions to uninstall the driver.
• Restart the computer.

Now install the latest version.

Let me know the status.

I know at one point Intel told me to manually unistall previous driver and I did that from "Programs and Feature".  Now when I look at "Programs and Features" it shows "Intel Proset/Wireless Software" Version 16.1.1 but when I look at my adapter in the device manager (Intel wifi Link5100 AGN) it shows version 14.3.2.1.

I don't understand the two different version numbers

Thanks for all your help.

I also tried to click on the "yes" that your response answered the question but it would not register the "yes"
