FAQ

  • Which WiFi adapter is built into my device?

     1. Click “Start” (or press the Windows key) and search for “Device Manager”.
     2. Open Device Manager and expand the “Network adapters” category.
     3. There should now be several entries there; look for the one that includes “Wi-Fi” or “Wireless LAN”.
      - Example: Intel(R) Wi-Fi 6E AX211 160MHz

  • What version of the WiFi driver is currently installed?

     1. In Device Manager under “Network adapters” right-click the installed WiFi adapter and select “Properties”.
     2. On the “Driver” tab, you can see which driver version is installed and when the driver was released (driver date).
      - Note: The driver date is not the date you installed the driver.

  • How do I update the WiFi driver?

     1. Find out the manufacturer, adapter model, and driver version for your device.
     2. Now search for the WiFi adapter in your web browser and add “driver” at the end.
     - Example: Intel Wi-Fi 6E AX211 driver
     3. Find and open the manufacturer’s website and check if a newer version is available.
     Note: Please download the new driver exclusively from the manufacturer’s website; otherwise, you may inadvertently install malware!
     4. If you can’t find a compatible driver, many manufacturers offer support tools for automatic detection and installation.
     - Example: Intel Driver & Support Assistant (Intel DSA)
