Laptop is a Asus X75A
New install of windows 7
I downloaded most of the drivers from Asus website. With a wired connection the laptop is fine but I do not have any wireless connection at all. This is what I am seeing in the device manager. I have tried to update driver on the network controller and it has been searching for 20 minutes so far.
Any help wold be greatly appreciated. Thank you
I just installed the chipset driver and currently doing all of the updates to windows. It was a clean install of windows 7 home premium. Once all of these updates take place I will post back and keep you updated. Thank you.
You didn't say if that clean install of Windows 7 Home Premium includes Service Pack 1.
If it does not include SP1, it must be installed first before proceeding to step #2 in the guide: https://forums.techguy.org/threads/updated-steps-for-installing-and-updating-windows-7-sp1.1222250/
If you follow the guide correctly, it will be very helpful to you in getting Windows 7 Home Premium up-to-date.
You should confirm the identity of all the primary devices(chipset, graphics, audio, ethernet, wireless, touchpad, etc.) in that laptop.
You should then obtain the drivers for them and copy them to a USB thumb drive or burn them to a disc.
They will then be readily available when it's time to install them.
