Hey im looking for working WLAN driver for HP 250 G3. I installed the system and I don't have a wifi driver, only ethernet, and one driver worked once, but a blue screen popped up after a while and after turning the computer back on, there was no driver.

Try removing and firmly reseating the wifi adapter. 

 

Leave the wifi antenna attached if you can.

 

If that doesn't get the adapter to show up again, then it will need to be replaced.

What operating system what model Wi-Fi adapter?

 

The model series can come with a few different model Wi-Fi adapters.

This is the latest W8,.1 Wi-Fi driver HP released for the RT 3290:

 

MediaTek (Ralink) Wireless LAN (WLAN) Adapter

 

5.0.50.0

If that doesn't get the card to work, assume it has failed, and I suggest you replace it with this model, or use a dual band USB Wi-Fi adapter.

 

Realtek RTL8723BE 802.11bgn 1×1 + BT 4 LE Combo Adapter   HP part # 753077-001.

 

You should be able to find this card in used but tested and working condition on eBay.

 

Search by the HP part number.

 

Below is the link to the service manual where you can find the Wi-Fi card removal and replacement procedure.

The driver doesn't even appear in the manager, I think it may be a problem with the system, because I once struggled with it and somehow managed it, but I don't remember how sometimes the system hangs, so I uploaded a new one and since then there has been no wifi 😕
