    You can get the driver from the website of the laptop maker, just provide the model of your laptop and go to download driver section.

    On the start menu right click on my computer and select manage, then open device manager. double click on the wireless device (which will be showing a warning icon next to it) and click on reinstall driver (first connect your laptop to the internet via cable so that it can download and install the driver automatically).

    You are missing your Wireless driver.Go to your laptop make website and search for the drivers. Alternatively, go Right click Computer>Manage>Device Manager>Network Adapters... I hope you can take it up from there.

    attempt going to the producer's internet site with yet another computing device and acquire the drivers. Use a flash force to circulate them. Or circulate to walmart and purchase a on the spot community usb adapter. you've 15 days. in case you purchase the adpater and it works, then the on the spot card is broken. If it does not, return the adapter.
