First of all, you need to check if you have the correct WiFi drivers installed into your laptop. If you already have the drivers of Wifi installed then you can skip the tutorial ahead by clicking here. And if not, then lets help you install the Wifi Drivers.

Installing the WiFi drivers

There are a few things you need to know before you can install a WiFi driver on your laptop. The first is that you need to have a compatible WiFi card. The second is that you need to have the drivers for that card installed on your computer.

The third and final thing you need to know is how to install the drivers. This can be done by using a driver installation program or manually installing the drivers yourself.

If you are using a driver installation program, the process is pretty simple. All you need to do is download the program and then run it. Once the program is installed, it will automatically detect your WiFi card and install the drivers for it.

If you want to install the drivers yourself, the process is a bit more complicated. However, it is still not that difficult. The first thing you need to do is find the drivers for your WiFi card.

You can do this by going to the manufacturer’s website and then downloading the drivers from there. Once you have downloaded the drivers, you need to unzip them and then copy them to a folder on your computer.

Once the drivers are copied to the folder, you need to open up the Device Manager. To do this, you need to right-click on My Computer and then select Properties. Once the Properties window opens, you need to click on the Hardware tab and then click on Device Manager.

When the Device Manager opens, you will see a list of all the devices that are installed on your computer. Find the WiFi card and then right-click on it and select Update Driver Software.

When the Update Driver Software window opens, you need to click on the Browse button and then locate the folder where you copied the drivers. Once you have located the folder, you need to click on the Next button.

The installation process will now begin and once it is finished, you need to restart your computer. After your computer has restarted, you will now be able to use your WiFi card.

If you are still having problems installing the WiFi driver, you can try to uninstall the current driver and then install the new one. To do this, you need to go to the Control Panel and then select Add or Remove Programs.

Once the Add or Remove Programs window opens, you need to find the program that you want to remove and then click on the Remove button. After the program has been removed, you need to restart your computer.

Once your computer has restarted, you will now be able to install the new WiFi driver. All you need to do is follow the instructions that are given to you by the installation program.

When the installation is complete, you need to restart your computer one last time and then you will be able to use your WiFi card.
