    Hi,

    I have a Broadcom 4313 WiFi card. I have some issues with it but i really don't know if they are because of the modem or because of my laptop.

    So, I want to update my drivers because they are really outdated.

    Where can I find the last one? The one I can find in the HP official website is outdated too.

    Thanks.

    According to the website that published it is for XP/Vista/ 7 and 8. Inf file also confirms it.
    You can try to install manually by using "update driver" in device manager and navigate to a folder where you have unpacked the archive.

    I am trying to install manually and it says to me that is already updated. But it is certainly outdated, 2010...

    Have your tried updating via windows update? You may not get the latest but just changing the driver may solve the issue.

    With windows update, do you mean update driver in device manager? If not, where can i find that?

    Edit: Found it, but it's saying nothing about wireless driver.
