Windows 10: I have an HP g7 laptop it has WIFI and LAN adapters, on win7 both networks connect fine at...

I have an HP g7 laptop it has WIFI and LAN adapters, on win7 both networks connect fine at the same time, but on win10 only the LAN will connect.Each adapter is connected through a different connection, LAN one, WIFI on another device.But win10 will only connect on one or the other when first booting the pc, I have to manually connect the WIFI to get both to work at the same time.Also, the LAN connection seems to be very slow, on a 200MBPS connection, I am only getting a 50MBPS download, WIFI is actually faster.The networks are not binded.

Wireless Network Adapter Help grrrrr!!

Yes it worked fine before connecting to wifi etc.I don't recall seeing the Ralink adapter on the laptop before tho.Under Network Adapters i have installed
Ralink RT2500 Wireless LAN Card
Realtek RTL8139/810x Family Fast Ethernet NIC

 

Which network adapter?

My friend recently came over to my house with his laptop. Before I could connect him to my lan he detected several wireless networks in the area. I want to connect to these wireless networks, but I don't know what kind of adapter I need. I searched his laptop model and this is his network adapter http://www.intel.com/network/connectivity/products/wireless/wireless_n/overview.htm

It seems he could get both N, and G signals

what would any of you guys suggest?

 

Cannot connect to wifi after upgrade to Windows 10

I had always expected a few glitches after doing an in-place upgrade from Win7 to Win10 (v21H1) on my Samsung RF511 laptop (which is a few years old but in theory capable of handling Win10). After sluggish boot-up and touchpad issues (raised in separate posts), this one is about wifi connection.

The problem is simple. No wifi. Ethernet (which uses a Realtek adapter) works fine, so my internet connection as such is good. When trying to make a wireless connection, the laptop running Win 10 "sees" the wifi link. The router is a Netgear, again not the latest model. It has WPA password-key protection. But running Win10 now, the laptop "can't connect".

The laptop has a Broadcom 802.11n network adapter. With Win7 before the upgrade, the wifi connection worked fine. When dual-booted into Linux Mint on the same machine, the wifi connection still works fine. This suggests that both the Netgear router and the Broadcom adapter hardware are operating properly. The only thing that has changed is the upgrade to Win 10.

I have run the Win10 wifi troubleshooter. I've done the standard steps it asks (switch the router off and on again...). It says there is a problem.... but offers no suggestions for how to solve it.

I have looked at the network adapter properties/drivers. The driver is v.5.100.82.95 which appears to date from 2011. It is said to be working properly. Windows Updates offers no more recent version, and trying 'update driver' in Device Manager brings the message that the installed driver is the right or best one.

The Broadcom support website is hopeless, but I did find, download and install a more recent driver - v.7.5.340.0 dated 2015. No solution - the wifi still will not connect.

A laptop that can only connect via ethernet hard-wiring is not very useful. So what else can I try in order to get a wifi connection?
