Cool! I'll try the sp60504 driver.

Stay tuned, I'll let you know what happens...

Thanks,

OK, the 'latest' driver SP60504, was nothing more than a repeat of what I have seen so far. Connected, 5/5 signal strength, but no internet.

Jack suggested that I try to wire direct to the router. I doubted that it could be a router problem, and I still do. BUT, a good suggestion otherwise. I am not able to connect while directly ethernet cabled to the router. I did change ports on the back of the router, and even rebooted while connected. I even changed from IE to Firefox, but no internet access.

Now, I am stumped. I have never had a computer that didn't access the internet while plugged in.

So I'm lost in St Louis....haha.

Again, anyone that has a suggestion I appreciate it.

Thanks again, in advance.

Here's this mornings update...

My HP 625 can still connect to the router, but no internet (wirelessly or hard wired).

I checked two other laptops, and they can both access the internet with no problems, wireless and wired.

So I back to my original belief that my problem is with the HP laptop. I did run checks on the card itself through the device manager, and it reported that the Broadcom 4313 card is working properly.

So I'm wondering if I have somesort of conflict issue...

Again, thanks in advance.

Solution:  Install the optional Realtek Update from Windows Update.

Reason: I don't have a {Content Removed} clue why but i found this solution (in another thread) and it worked pretty fine in my case (Pavilion g4).

ps: My wifi is a broadcom, not a realtek and the drivers are from broadcom. May be broadcom's drivers parasite from realtek libraries.

ps2: i case of doubt, install all  windows updates and install the latest driver. However, since the wifi is anything but stable so i don't recommend to do a full windows update.  Also,it requires an internet connection, so one option is to update via wired or to try luck with wifi.

Update applied:

Realtek - Network - Realtek PCIe FE Family Controller

Realtek Network software update released in June, 2011

Dear Paul,

Thankyou for for the update. There seems to be a marked improvement but I shall report after using it for a few days.

Sorry guys, my head is about to explode from all this.  I am trying to raplce my wifi adapter without modding my bios and one of the part numbers in the manual that worked on the HP part site:

657325-001

Broadcom 4313GN 802.11b/g/n 1x1 WiFi and 20702 Bluetooth 4.0 combination adapter

Is this the same card that folks are having issues with in this thread?  Sounds like I would be trading issues for issues?

FWIW:  Broadcom WLAN v6.30.223.98 dated 5/23/13 seems to be the latest Win8 compatible driver...
