Hi Aleki,

It doesn't say Wireless Adapter in the menu. It says Network Adapter is this the info you are after?

kmkj01,

When you reach that option, all you have to do is to click on the little arrow to expand so you can see the name of the adapter. Take a look at the illustration below so you can have an idea of what we are looking for.

Best regards,

Aleki

So it is Network Adapter your after.

Under Network Adapters we have the following:

Bluetooth Device (Personal Area Network) # 2

which has an error symbol next to it.

Bluetooth Device (RFCOMM Protocol TDI) # 2

Intel(R) Centrino (R) Wireles-N 1030 # 2

also has an error message

Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller # 2

Could you please be so kind and provide us the exact error message you are getting?

Where are you getting the drivers from? It is important to check with your http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/topics/OEMs.html computer manufacturer if they didn't add any restriction regarding driver updates as some manufacturers may restrict updates from other sources that are not in their support page.

Best regards,
