Hi Tim,

You should be able to find the drivers here for your PC. Choose the right OS and there will be a list of drivers:

 

https://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers/selfservice/hp-2000-2b00-notebook-pc-series/5296210/model/53952...

 

If the wifi driver does not work try installing this driver Atheros AR9485 802.11b/g/n Wireless LAN Driver Lite from here:

 

https://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers/selfservice/hp-2000-2a00-notebook-pc-series/5259212

 

choosing the right OS.

 

Hope it helps,

David
