I can't find the drivers for the Ralink wireless card.  Can someone help me. My wireless card just stopped working I can ping the card from my router thinking the drivers will put this back to work.  Thanks/

Hi:

 

That model wifi card isn't doing too well with W10.

 

Here is the link to the only W10 driver HP released for that model wifi card.

 

5.0.57.0 Rev.A    Jun 18, 2015

 

http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp71501-72000/sp71571.exe

 

You may want to consider replacing that card with one of these...If your PC currently has two antennas connected to the Ralink wifi card.

 

If you have, or plan to get an AC router...

 

Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 7260 802.11 ac 2x2 WiFi + BT 4.0    HP part # 710661-001

 

If you have a dual band wireless N router...

 

Intel Dual Band Wireless-N 7260AN 802.11 a/b/g/n 2x2 WiFi + BT4.0   HP part # 717381-001

 

Either card is readily available on Amazon or eBay and have W10 driver support.

 

You can probably pick one up for less than $25 new and less for used but tested and working,

 

Search by the HP part number, not the model of the wifi card.

Thanks for the reply and info. The latest firmware release didn't help. I will remove the card later when i can and determine if the AC option will work for my. Thanks for this info this has been a great help.
