Windows 10: My wifi driver is gone

I accidentally delete my wifi driver, driver itself is "SAMSUNG Electronics Co., Ltd. - Modem - 2.17.16.0", my question is there any place to download manually?

:)

 

Why did the startup window get cleared?

I didn't missed any step, the list was gone and gone , even after using lot of programs the programs were not listed in that list.

 

Qualcomm Atheros Wifi Lagg.

wifi driver vanished

Hi harishsk3033,

It appears that the wireless adapter/card on your laptop gone missing. Have you made any changes or installed any updates on your laptop prior to the issue? If yes, what were those changes or updates?

Basically, since the wireless adapter/card no longer appears in Device Manager, then it implies that the device is no longer detected. Downloading its drivers will not do any help. The wireless adapter/card has to be detected first before you can install
its driver.

As a workaround, I suggest performing the following steps to try to re-detect the wireless adapter/card:

• Reboot the laptop
  • To insure that the laptop is properly rebooted, I recommend to shut it down first, before starting it up again.
• Scan for hardware changes
  1. Open Device Manager.
  2. Right-click the Network adapters category, and click
     Scan for hardware changes.
  3. Check if the wireless card appears. If yes, then right-click it, and click
     Update driver software.
  4. Follow the on-screen instructions.
• Check for Other devices in Device Manager.
  1. Go back to Device Manager and look for Other devices.
  2. If it's there, then expand it.
  3. If the wireless adapter/card is on the list, then right-click it and click
     Update Driver Software.
  4. Follow the on-screen instructions.

If the above steps won't help, then there's a need to unplug and replug the wireless adapter/card on your laptop to have it detected. Please contact your computer manufacturer for proper assistance.

Kindly update this thread with the result so I'll be able to assist you further if needed.

Regards.
