It looks like my wifi driver is missing and I can’t download a new one because Google does work without wifi. It also won’t let my update windows for the same reason. I’ve tried almost everything and can’t seem to find another person with this issue. Can anyone help me out here?

    Hello! My name is Mostafa, and I’m an independent advisor and a long-time Microsoft user.

    I’m sorry that you are experiencing this issue, and I will try my best to assist you with this so that you find a satisfactory solution.

    Please try with cable then If you don’t have an Internet connection, you can use a USB flash drive to transfer the driver setup from an Internet-enabled computer to your computer without an Internet connection

    Please follow the steps below:

    1. On another computer with internet access, download the appropriate Wi-Fi driver for your computer from the manufacturer's website. Be sure to download the correct driver for your computer's operating system (Windows 11) and Wi-Fi hardware.
    2. Transfer the driver to the computer without internet access. You can use a USB flash drive or an external hard drive to transfer the driver.
    3. On the computer without internet access, open Device Manager by pressing Windows key + X and selecting Device Manager from the menu.
    4. Locate your Wi-Fi adapter under Network adapters in the Device Manager.
    5. Right-click the Wi-Fi adapter and select Update driver.
    6. In the Update Drivers window, select "Browse my computer for driver software".
    7. Navigate to the location where you saved the downloaded Wi-Fi driver file and select it.
    8. Click Next and follow the prompts to install the new Wi-Fi driver.
    9. Once the driver installation is complete, restart your computer.

    You also can try to download it with your smartphone.

    I hope the above steps helped you. In case of additional questions, reach out back to me, and I will be happy to help and try my best to resolve your issue. Thank you.

    Best,

    Mostafa

    Hey,

    1.) Hit Windows-Key + R

    2.) Type in msinfo32

    3.) Look for "BaseBoard Product" thats your motherboard model, also take a look at "BaseBoard Manufacturer" thats your motherboard provider

    4.) Type your motherboard model into the searchbar of your webbrowser

    5.) Open the link to the support website of your official motherboard provider

    6.) Browse to the driver section and download your wifi drivers

    7.) Unzip the folder

    8.) Look for an executable with "setup" in the name and run as admin

    9.) Follow through with installation

    10.) Check if your device is correctly updated in your device manager

    Best regards
