HP Pavilion dv6-6177la - Wifi Drivers Issue [ Edited ]

[felipeHP]

Good Night HP Forum :

With cordial regards, I'd like to post my situation: 

I've recently bought a HP Notebook ? HP Pavilion dv6-6177la? and after creating the image of recovery I've formatted and installed Windows 7 Ultimate English.

I've been successfully installed drivers for chipset, audio and graphics but networking has experienced some difficulties.
I haven't been able to installed Wireless Network.  I've downloaded drivers from here:

http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?os=4063&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&sw_lang=en&product=51...

Under "Driver - Network (9)" I've tried installed:

» Ralink 2011 802.11 b/g/n WiFi Adapter2011-08-05 , Version:3.2.2.0, 11.55M
» Realtek RTL8188CE 802.11b/g/n Wireless LAN Driver for Microsoft Windows2011-06-30 , Version:1005.22.615.2011, 23.05M
» Atheros 2011 Wireless LAN Driver2011-05-24 , Version:9.20, 81.98M
» Realtek RTL8188CE 802.11b/g/n Wireless LAN Driver for Microsoft Windows2011-03-09 , Version:1005.15.223.2011, 19.03M

It seams like all of them above are related to Wireless, but whenever I try to installed them, it seams like nothing happened.  According to the information, they are compatible with my Operating System.I've restarted and shut down my computer but no luck, 

1. Can you please clarify me if all of these 4 are needed to install? Or only one of them should installed? If so, please indicate me which exactly.
2. Can you please clarify me if something is needed to do in order to install them properly apart from running the wizard?
3. Is the key F12 should be with a white light to conect to wireless? If so, Is on....

I also attached screenshots of Device Manager and Network Connection.

Kindly help me with my issue, thank you very much in advance!

Hi,

For each of the Two devices you have in Device Manager that show an error icon against them, do the following.

Go into Device Manager, right click on the problem device and select Properties.  Click the Details tab, choose Hardware Ids from the dropdown box and post back with the details shown under Value.

Hi,

Download and install the following Broadcom driver.

ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp52501-53000/sp52773.exe

After the installation has completed, restart the notebook.

When windows has fully reloaded, download and install HP Protect Smart Hard Drive Protection on the following link.

ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp53001-53500/sp53462.exe

After this installation, restart the notebook again.

Dear DavidPK:

Thanks for your fast reply... I downloaded from your link provided and installed once again the Broadcam Bluetooth driver as you told me (Broadcom 2070 Bluetooth2011-04-30 , Version:7, 58.51M)...after that, wizard told me to restart, I restarted...

I also installed HP Protect Smart Hard Drive Protection from link you provided me, a restart was requested so I restarted.

Please consider that my problem is regarding the WiFi, as shows the screenshots at the first post...Bluethooth is properly installed.

By the way, in Device Manager, now situation has changed:

Hardware id for this item is below:

PCI\VEN_14E4&DEV_4727&SUBSYS_1483103C&REV_01

PCI\VEN_14E4&DEV_4727&SUBSYS_1483103C

PCI\VEN_14E4&DEV_4727&CC_028000

PCI\VEN_14E4&DEV_4727&CC_0280

Please your help David to get my WiFi installed, let me know anything,

Dear David:

Thank you very much for your fast answer.

Finally the driver you told me worked perfectly! (Broadcom Wireless LAN Driver for Microsoft Windows 7)

I also realized that Windows Update downloaded this driver (a newer version) in my notebook (I had to conected by cable)

I also tried last version 5.100.82.82 from http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareDescription.jsp?swItem=ob-81598-1&lang=en&c... which worked perfectly. 

Thank for your answer David.

It's very strange that driver is not in drivers for my notebook model:

http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?cc=us&destPage=softwareCategory&lc=en&os=4063&pr...

Why is not there?  I think it should be added there for other people may experience same issue of me  

Kind Regards and I'm really thankfull for your help!
