Broadcom 802.11ac Driver

I have a MacBook Pro late 2016 on which I run Boot Camp. I run Windows 10 on Boot Camp. I am having an issue where I am unable to access the internet due to faulty drivers for the Broadcom WLAN 802.11ac installed in my computer. I have tried updating my drivers via opening Boot Camp on MacOS, downloading the 'latest' drivers (according to Boot Camp), and then installing them on Windows 10. I would like some help in knowing what drivers to download and use.

Fixed it! I went over to the Microsoft Store and this is what they did:


  1. Go to Control Panel.
  2. Click "Hardware and Sound"
  3. Under "Devices and Printers", click "Device Manager"
  4. Uninstall everything in "Network Adapters"
  5. Restart Windows.

This worked for me, but I have the Broadcom 802.11ac Network Adapter so this might not work for everyone.
