    Suspected problem with Dell 1550W wireless driver


    Any recommendations? I'm leery of Intel wireless cards from past experience, but as I had an Intel 7260-AC in my bits box, I installed it.

    Net result was that with MS default drivers, the WiFi appeared fine, but Bluetooth was borked (driver code 43).

    I downloaded the latest Intel 7260AC BT driver 19.11.1639.649 from:

    Download Intel(R) Wireless Bluetooth(R) Software for Windows(R) 10

    and installed it. And at least the Bluetooth device remained active. I've had no time to reinstall all my BT devices yet.

    Update status:

    Arrgghhhh code 43 again after a reboot *Sad looks like my worries about Intel cards were right.

    All the best,
    Dave

    Sorry, no suggestions. I have a Intel(R) WiFi Link 5100 Driver in my Toshiba laptop running Win 10 Home X64, never had a problem.. You need one with the correct form factor for you laptop.

    Suspected problem with Dell 1550W wireless driver

    Driver Description: Broadcom 802.11 Network Adapter wireless driver - I believe you actually have a Dell Wireless 1550 802.11ac.[/quote] Force update to the latest Broadcom drivers by going to the Device manager -> Network Adapters -> Dell Wireless 1550 802.11ac -> Driver -> Update Driver -> Search Automatically for updated driver software.
    The latest one is provided by Broadcom through the Window update, dated 22 Nov 2016, v7.35.352.0 signed by Microsoft Windows Hardware Compatibility Publisher.

    There will be no more BSODs after date. Currently Dell support sites still provide Dell DW1550 drivers v7.35.333.0 which contains Broadcam 2015 drivers that still cause BSOD with bcmwl63a.sys

    No updates for bluetooth were found on Windows update, so only the 802.11ac drivers need to be force-updated.
