MIssing my network controller driver after re-installed windows 7

Thanks! I was able to reinstall the software following these instructions, although after setting up the fingerprint reader with my fingerprint, it doesn't give me the option to swipe to start Windows like it used to and I have to manually enter my password when I restart my PC. So, although I now have the driver and the software, it doesn't appear to be functional. Any idea why?

I didn't mention, but I have DELL Inspiron N5110 15R

Hey veejdeej,

I believe I'm experiencing same problem like many people out there. I see "Network Controller" on "Other Devices" list and it has yellow exclamation mark next to it (which means I need drivers).

My Network controller Hardware Ids:

PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_008A&SUBSYS_53258086&REV_34

PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_008A&SUBSYS_53258086

PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_008A&CC_028000

PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_008A&CC_0280

Device Instance Path (couldn't find ID so posting this, maybe helpful too):

PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_008A&SUBSYS_53258086&REV_34\4CEB42FFFF7241C900

Hi Martynas1244,

This an Intel Centrino Wireless-N1030 card.

Win7 X64: http://ftp.dell.com/FOLDER00393422M/2/BT_Intel_W74_A02_Setup-50PWW_ZPE.exe

Win 8 X64/X86: http://ftp.dell.com/FOLDER00950214M/5/WiFi_Intel_W8_X00_A00_Setup-J7X5V_ZPE.exe

Mark as resolved if this works for you.

I'm using Windows 7 64-bit and I've tried to install the driver you mentioned above before and it didn't work.

I mean, it still shows that yellow exclamation mark next to "Network Controller".

Try the direct Intel Driver

Thank you, that worked!

PLEASE HELP :X my wifi doesnt work. I have dell inspiron 17r 3721 with windows 8 64bit. Problem started when I have uninstalled dw dwlan card utility because I had problem with it, but after installing drivers that are avaible on dell website it still doesnt work... System doesnt "see" WIFI CARD, I have no idea what I can do... Please help me.

PROBLEM SOLVED

This is a 1704 Dell Wifi +BT Driver

Win 7: ftp.dell.com/.../Network_Driver_3WJ6F_WN_WLAN-6.20.55.5_A03.EXE

Win 8 no 64bit drivers available in support dell for DW 1704. DW 1703 is only available: ftp.dell.com/.../Network_Driver_2CRMP_WN_WLAN--10.0.0.2_A02.EXE

Suggest you to try the above link for Win 8 as well. If it doesnt click then run in Compatibility mode (Win 7).

Also you can check in your HDD. Under C:\Dell\Drivers\3WJ6F or Network or wireless, you can get the setup file and install. Provided re-installation of OS was not done.

شكرااااااااااا

Please help me :(    Brand new Inspiron 3721, installed every driver but the wifi driver fails to install. Windows 8 Pro 64 bit.  I'm now using a external wifi adapter and that's ridiculous for a new laptop!   Barnii2 how did you solve your problem? Please

ok after trying several drivers one solved the problem (I think it was the 1704 for windows 7 link given by veerdeej above). It is so disappointing that I spent the whole evening with trial and error instead of doing work on my new dell laptop. Why are the drivers for my support tag incompatible and I had to find the answer in a forum? I'm not buying dell again, so disappointed

yes i have this problem
