Windows 10: Wireless connectivity issue on Dell (Intel Centrino Wireless N-2230)

I would get the 8.1 drivers in the 17.x range. I think you said you already had new drivers and that didn't work. One opinion, and we will see what bro67 says, you are on a easter egg hunt for just the right driver. That is how I solved mine and a least two members on this forum. Again I would move to router to channel 3.

You can also disable IPv6 and kill WiFi sense by going Settings, Network and Internet, Wifi ---- on right side, scroll down. Not sure why but on one member's machine the device would randomly attach to Open network and then lose all Internet connectivity. I didn't see any open networks in your report.

 

I installed Intel PROSet/Wireless Software for Bluetooth technology for Windows 8.1* 64-bit, Version 17.1.1411.01 (Latest) Date: 2/3/2015. After the restart, I checked the driver version on Intel Centrino and it is 15.16.0.2. The option for rollback is still greyed out. This was the only driver for Windows 8.1. So, did I do something wrong?

 

Not sure what happen there as the driver didn't bump up to 17.1.xxx

Enter device manager again, find your wireless adapter, right click then left update driver software. In the next window choose browse my computer for driver software, then click on "Let me pick...."

You should see the 17.1 driver.

Likely my last post for a week. Sorry about that.

The main driver did not really change with the installer for the Intel chipset. Some minor changes have been done with how the Intel program that allows you to setup automated connections, create files to share with others that have the same hardware.

 

Hi skale87

Did you get the driver installed, has your connectivity stabilized?
