Product: hp pavillion 17-g188ca
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I've been having issues with the WiFi ever since I purchased the notebook, but lately it's been getting unbareable.  Turning the wifi off and on, used to buy me some time early on, but now it has a hard time even connecting to the network, and when it does it ridiculously slow.  Downloads at <3Mb/sec on a100+ MB/sec broadband service.

 

Is there another driver that would rectify this?

Hi:

 

This is the latest W10 driver HP has for that model wifi card...

 

This package provides the Broadcom Wireless LAN drivers for supported notebook models running a supported operating system. Broadcom Wireless LAN drivers are required to enable the integrated Broadcom Wireless LAN adapter. 

 

VERSION: 7.35.351.0 REV: A PASS: 1    EFFECTIVE DATE: October 25, 2016

Installing this driver did increase my signal strength, but not by much.  An improvement is an improvement.
