WIFI Driver missing HP-Pavilion 15 ab205tu

[hello12341]

I bought HP Pavilion Notebook 15-ab205TU on 22nd july 2016.when i tried connecting to wireless network (WIFI) it didnt give any connection and asked to connect internet using LAN ? I opened device manager and found out that there is no driver for wifi available. It has not been 6 hours since i bought it and first time I opened it is not connecting to wifi.

Did you downgrade to Windows 8.1 from Windows 10 or are you connecting by use of a different PC?

Actually, you could have booted to the usb recovery media that you should have created by now and selected reinstall drivers and software.

There is a driver available there for your wifi adapter.

Wifi adapter drivers are available online at the suport portal for Windows 10.

Hi:

I see your notebook came with FreeDOS.

You  should be able to use the W8.1 drivers and software from the 15t-ab000 on your model, except the BIOS and firmware files.  Use the latest Intel graphics driver listed (the date by the exe file).

Your model has the Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 3165 802.11 ac 1x1 WiFi and Bluetooth 4.2 combination WLAN adapter.

You'll need to get the W8.1 wireless driver directly from Intel.

Wireless:  2nd one down on the left is for 64 bit
