Drivers for WLAN Broadcom BCM943228HMB 802.11abgn 2x2? LAN Disconnects; ENVY h8xt

[jgortner]

Howdy,

I have a newish HP ENVY h8xt.  Ever since I got it the WLAN disconnects, not super often, but often enough.  I cannot for the life of me find where I can download the newest drivers for my LAN card and hopefully solve this annoying issue.

From device manager ...

Broadcom BCM943228HMB 802.11abgn 2x2 Wi-Fi Adapter

Can someone please point me in the right direction? Also maybe offer any tips to prevent this?  Windows 8 here BTW.

Thanks in advance! Please help!

PS. These are the ones I have found but they are over a year old.

PPS. I used Windows update to get a driver for this dated 5/23/2013 but I am still experiencing the problem of it cutting out every few hours.

I will give it a try.

May I ask what page links to that? Like is there a page with all drivers from my broadcom wireless LAN device listed somewhere?

Here is the weblink page for this driver:

Thanks again very much for your help.

Yes that is the page for that one release for the driver. Is there a page that lists all of the releases for this WLAN device?

I am only asking to I can "learn to fish" for this and future reference!

[Vidya]

No, but all the driver updates get linked to your product drivers page mostly. I was also searching for the latest broadcom drivers after a date that is most recent.

Please help, and Thanks!

i have exactly the same problem with my recline 27" 

Did you manage to find any solution for it ?

i have tried the drivers the the HP employee sugested but they dont work. i get an error "your system does not meet the minimum requirements for this update. Update has been cancelled(9996)

[savvias]

hey Vidya.

can you please help me on this ? 

I have exactly the same problem since i updated to win 8.1 with my HP ENVY RECLINE 27"

Mine has been resolved. Turns out the drivers for the 850 G1 worked perfectly for the 215 G1.

Thanks to Paul_Tikkanen for the suggestion.
