There are adapters for that, but I am not sure it they would work correctly.Īnyway, I will try both: driver from the Catalog (which Windows should install automatically I suppose) and 7260AC driver. 3) Go to Device Manager > Network Adapters, select Wifi adapter, then Power Management tab, clear the check box to 'Allow the computer to turn off the device to save energy.' Then on the Advanced tab disable any energy-saving options. Unfortunately, I do not have 11ac card to try, and even if I were, almost all 11ac are M.2 and my laptop only has Mini PCI-E. Try also all older drivers from Update Driver > Browse > Let Me Pick list working backwards. Some people on the Internet even created hacked versions of BIOS with whitelist removed (something I really do not want to try, because it can brick my laptop and I do not have hardware programmer to fix it). I read about it somewhere on this forum: there were a guy who said 4540s has whitelist. I can't say for 100% sure, but it is possible. > There is a possibility your notebook does not have a BIOS whitelist. inf file with list of PCI ID of all cards it supports, it could be that it has my card ID. This driver (as any Windows driver probably) has. Wow, this card is supported by Intel and driver version is 21, so if it would work with my card, then I am lucky. > Another thing you may want to experiment with is if the Intel 7260AC wifi card works in that model. Link you provided has version 15, but it seems that I need version 17 Download drivers for Intel (R) Centrino (R) Advanced-N 6205 Wi-Fi devices (Windows 7 圆4), or install DriverPack Solution software for automatic driver download and update. > Looking at the Microsoft Update catalogĭoes it mean win10 would install it automatically btw? There is a possibility your notebook does not have a BIOS whitelist. Make sure the Include subfolders box is checked and see if the driver updates.Īnother thing you may want to experiment with is if the Intel 7260AC wifi card works in that model. Select the Browse my computer for driver software option and browse to the driver folder that 7-Zip created. Once that is done, go to the device manager, click on the Intel® Centrino® Advanced-N 6235 wifi adapter needing the driver.Ĭlick on the driver tab.
Have 7-Zip Extract to: and let it extract the file into its folder name. Select 7-Zip from the list of items on the menu.
The 64 bit driver is the second one at the top of the page.Īfter you install 7-zip, right click on the Intel wifi driver cabinet file you downloaded. How I install drivers from that site is to download the cabinet file. Looking at the Microsoft Update catalog I would try 15.18.0.1 I can't find any W10 drivers for any HP notebook made during that era and even the models that came out a year later.
