How to install WiFi drivers in Windows 10

Having a WiFi connection on our computers and devices is a useful option if we want to avoid having to place cables in any area. The options to connect via WiFi are quite advanced and close to the Ethernet network, so we would have to lose too much quality. Wi-Fi connections are one of the most used methods today to connect to a local network that is available within the range of said wireless network, these ranges are divided into three that are:

 

Wi-Fi ranges

 

  • 2.4 GHz which is the range that takes the longest but has an advantage which is that it has a much wider range and can better penetrate walls
  • 5 GHz which has higher speed and less interference but has a more limited range for connections
  • 6 GHz and is the newest Wi-Fi providing higher transmission speed and less interference

 

 

 

For the Wi-Fi network to work correctly in Windows 10, the drivers are required, which the system itself installs by default and these allow each interaction process between the operating system and, in this case, the network card to be complete both in compatibility as in delivery and sending of packets and signals, so that if the driver of the Wi-Fi network card is outdated or not present, we will have many problems when connecting to any available network in the range. If you have this error, TechnoWikis will explain the way to install these drivers in Windows 10 since it is recommended to update Windows 10 drivers..

step 14

In this case we must make use of the drivers to update our Wi-Fi adapter and thus enjoy a comprehensive connection, in case of not having access to the network, we must download the driver to another computer with a network there according to the brand installed and then copy it to the faulty computer in its Wi-Fi network, the various URLs from where we can download the Wi-Fi network drivers are (in the video we will leave the official links anyway):

 

Asus
TP-Link
Netgear
D-Link
Linksys
Intel
Broadcom
Belkin
Qualcomm
Realtek
HP
Ralink

 

step 15

In our case it will be Ralink:

step 20

The driver will be installed:

step 21

You will now have access to Wi-Fi in Windows 10:

This is the way to install the Wi-Fi driver in Windows 10 and thus recover all the advantages of the Wi-Fi connection.
