Wi-Fi Driver

[Ivan94]

Hello!

I recently bought a new Windows 8.1 64 Package. And I installed it to my " HP Probook 450 g4". 

The problem is that I cannot establish Wi-Fi connection to my router since on official web-site there is no driver for windows 8!

But I had to downgrade my OS simply because my Intel i3 could not handle the massive and overloaded Windows 10... 

Please help me to establish Wi-Fi connection on  "probook 450 g4" with Windows 8.1...

Thanks in advance!

Hi:

What model wifi adapter does your notebook come with?

[Ivan94]

Thank you for your response! 

According to the off.web site - Realtek or/and Intel
official web page with drivers

* Intel Wireless LAN Drivers

* Realtek RTL8723BE/RTL8188EE 802.11b/g/n Wireless LAN Drivers

Hi:

I don't want to give you the wrong driver because it will be wasting your time and mine.

Please post the hardware ID for the device you see listed in the device manager labeled as a Network Controller.

Use this guide for how to find the hardware ID for a device.  Then I can post the link to the correct driver you need.

If I go to section Network Adapters then it seems like everything is installed properly (see photo 1) and no warning signs in the section. (Сетевые адаптера = Network adapters)

But if I go to another devices and select Network controller then I can find a list of ids (please see photo 2).

Thank you very much for the link! 

I thought it is impossible to find a driver now because there is no one on official web-site...

You saved my money!! Thank you!
