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in compatibility as in delivery and sending of packets and signals, so that if the driver of the Wi-Fi network card is outdated or not present, we will have many problems when connecting to any available network in the range.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..
