Thank you for posting your query. I will be glad to help you.
I understand you are looking for the Latest driver for Broadcom 43225 802.11 b, for the HP Pavilion dv7-3111ea Entertainment Notebook PC.
I was trying to find the details, however, it looks like there are no more drivers available for the PC, as this model has reached the end of life and we no longer have any drivers available for the Pc.
1. Use Device Manager

- Update Driver:
- Expand the Network adapters section.
- Right-click on the Broadcom 43225 device and select Update driver.

Hi Vikram,
Many thanks for the info.
I did go into Broadcom & found a 'linex' driver update for W10-64
So I posted the info of it back on the forum. As a link.
'Norton utilities' are stating that they have the latest? 2016 update?
