Network Controller Missing Driver

[DriverTypes]

Hello! One day my trusty HP Zbook 14 with Windows 7 Professional 64-bit decided to lose its network controller driver. I tried every System Restore option available but all system restore points failed to take. I tried clicking "Update Driver Software" and "Scan for hardware changes" on the Network Controller from Device Manager and both failed.

Can you tell me what Network Controller driver I need to download, put on a USB key, and then transfer to my Zbook to fix the problem? I need my wireless back as I don't have Ethernet cables floating around my living room...

Hi:

Go to your specific zBook's support page, download and install the Intel wifi driver.

I'll give it a shot. It's hard to tell which of the drivers is the right one... I'll try the 2018 Wireless LAN Drivers first.

It's alive! Network came back after a slow installation w/ no progress bar (trust was required). I was able to select my wireless network after that, reauthenticate, et voila! I'm online! 

The SP92648.exe did the job in my case (Intel Wireless LAN Drivers 19.10.14.1 Rev.P 252.9 MB Nov 13, 2018).

Thank you, Paul!

You have an Intel 7260 wifi adapter.

You're very welcome.
