The Notebook Review forums were hosted by TechTarget, who shut down them down on January 31, 2022. This static read-only archive was pulled by NBR forum users between January 20 and January 31, 2022, in an effort to make sure that the valuable technical information that had been posted on the forums is preserved. For current discussions, many NBR forum users moved over to NotebookTalk.net after the shutdown.

    The broadcom driver is what is listed in the downloads area that you linked to
    Have you downloaded that driver and tried to install it

    Did you look in control pannel/system/device manager and under network devices to see if its listed there or has a ! mark

    Could you provide a few more details on what you have tried so far

    as Tomcat57 says, more information will get better answers.
    what version of windows?
    is the wireless card in your laptop working?
    is wireless light on the router flashing?
    check the router settings (log in to router, read manual on how) and make sure that wireless security is off for now,
    disable your firewall(s).
    try simple connection first, then add security after.
