Hello,
I have been having issues with my wifi connection running Windows 10 using boot camp. After reading some threads, it seems like the issue is the 802.11ac driver. Everyone seems to have a .68 or .73 version. Mine shows 7.77.110.0. Could this be causing the issue or this just a newer version? I am not super familiar with this stuff, so I’m not sure how to get a different version if I need one. Thanks!
MacBook Pro 13", macOS 10.15
It is an early 2015 MacBook Pro.
Update:
For the Broadcom 802.11ac
I went to update driver -> Browse my computer for drivers -> there were two options to pick from 1. The one I currently had 2. One from July 2015 (7.35.118.40)
I selected the one from 2015 and hit update driver. Now my internet connection works! Is it okay to run an old driver like this? 2015 seems pretty old, but then again I do not know enough about this stuff to know if it matters.
Let me know your thoughts! Thanks.

Rolling the driver back (from 7.7.7.110.0) to (7.35.118.83 in my case) totally fixed the problem. Speedtest.net shows maximum bandwidth performance on both up and download speeds.
Nice!
If you have an option to rollback the driver, you should. 7.77.x.x is problematic in many environments.
Thank you for the response! My roll back driver option is greyed out in the driver properties window. Are there any other avenues I could take to get a better driver version?
What is the year/model of your Mac (do not post the serial number)?
.40 is the original version. If Windows forces you to go to 7.77.x.x, repeat your process to get back to a working driver.
