Broadcom 802.11ac Network Adapter

Hey there, my WiFi keeps dropping for an unknown reason, i don't know whats wrong, i haven't downloaded anything with a virus in it,

i have fully scanned my laptop for virus, and rebooted.

Since it keeps dropping every 5-15 min, i have a feeling my WiFi drivers are outdated.

 

WiFi Driver: Broadcom 802.11ac Network Adapter

WiFI Driver Date: 4/17/2013

 

If they are outdated, please someone send a valid link to the updated one,

i'm getting sick of this WiFi connection dropping ;(

When i bought this laptop it actually had a driver from 2012, so i just found this updated version in the internet somewhere.

But this specific driver i have kept for about a month or so.

I think I'm having the same problem that your having. I just posted a new topic about it without searching the forum. My problem is that I can connect to a 5ghz band reliably, but not a 2.4ghz band. If you have a dual band router you might want to consider trying to connect to the 5ghz band.

 

The wifi card that's in my computer is also a broadcom adapter. Hopefully someone can find an answer.
