I have a laptop that originally came with Vista that I put XP on. I am having an issue with the wireless signal not picking up all the speed my router is putting out. Does anyone have a link to the broadcom drivers to update mine to get all that is possible?

Hello Paulrob6320
As I understand it you are looking to upgrade your HP Pavilion dv6205us to Windows 8 and need the Broadcom drivers. Now according to the website there are no drivers for that system on Windows 8 and I am assuming that Windows was unable to find functioning drivers. The only drivers that I found that might were are here. Now I am not promising that these drivers will work, but you can try them and see.
I hope these drivers work for you. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!
