lan and wireless network drivers for window 7 for HP Notebook - 15-af113cl (ENERGY STAR)

[jtwine]

i had to strip win10 from this laptop . . . . not suitable for my developed application. what a complex project for a machine have paid good money for! the only net drivers available are for win 10, but the mfgs must have suitable ones available for win 7. any idea who they are for the wireless and the lan chips? i can never go back to win 10 for this machine.

Hi:

According to the parts list for your notebook, it comes with a Realtek RTL8723BE 802.11b/g/n 1x1 Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.0 combination WLAN adapter.

You're very welcome, and if you need the other W7 drivers/software for your PC, you can get them from the 15-af000.

Do not use any of the BIOS or firmware files from that model on yours.

For the usb and smbus controller drivers, you need to install the amd chipset drivers and restart the PC.
