Windows 10: Broadcom 43162 Wireless LAN Driver upgrade

Dear Support,


I installed a Broadcom 43162 Wireless LAN card in my Lenovo G50-45 80E3 notebook (this card is part of Lenovo white list). The operating system is Windows 10 Pro (version 1909, build number 18363.535).

Unfortunately, it's not working properly with that driver that comes from the Windows standard upgrade (7.35.352.0). After each reboot the download speed of WiFi drops under 2 Mbps (before the reboot it is ~ 35 Mbps).


This status changes if I downgrade the driver back to 7.35.295.6 which works correctly.

Please suggest a solution to this problem.


Regards,

John

Windows 10 update broke the LAN driver (Broadcom)

I fixed it finally.

I uninstalled driver and delete appropriate windows driver sys file from system32/DRIVERS.

Then when going to install driver again in Device Manager, i selected "browse from my computer". Then i picked some list option, where i could see few drivers for my LAN card that Windows has.

The default one selected from list was just called Broadcom NetLink, but i selected some older from 2013 and that one is working. Weird.

 

Broadcom Driver help, PLEASE?

I'm using these drivers for my Compaq notebook which is also using Broadcom WLAN card (the guy keeps the link constantly updated). It seems that Broadcom is offering drivers for all their devices in single package.
Although your model is not specifically listed i'd still give it a try.

There is also a Broadcom driver of older date for your laptop specifically:

Killer LAN drivers AND Intel LAN drivers?


I am installing new drivers after an upgrade to windows 10 from windows 8.1 and I have 2 separate issues.

The page I am using for drivers is here:
MSI Global

And I am following the suggested order.

1) When I began setup for the Intel VGA driver I received an error message saying that "This computer does not meet the requirements."

- I skipped it and continued down the list of drivers but I am concerned since the second monitor I want to use is still not working.
- The Nvidia VGA driver installed correctly.

Is this a normal error and I should accept it as I do not need that driver or should I find another Intel VGA driver to try?

2) I have installed the Killer LAN and Killer Wireless LAN drivers for my laptop. Do I now need to ALSO install the Intel Wireless LAN drivers or no? Is it optional or required or don't do it at all?

Thanks for your help!
