Hi,
I just installed Win 10 with bootcamp. Everything works fine. Except I can not see my WiFi network under Windows.
It looks like Windows does not recognize my Network Mac Card.
In device manager I see no 802.11n networkadapter.
I have tried to update the drivers but after that the Broadcast 802.11n networkadapter does not show up.
Where do i find this driver and is it possible to add this adapter manually?
Thanks in advance!
I've downloaded and installed the Boot Camp Support Software 5.1.562. and everything went smoothly.
But when I try one of the wifi adapters I still get the 31 code error.
And in Windows 8.1 the WIFI option is still not visible.
W10 is not supported on a 2011 model by Apple, so there are no BC drivers for W10. However, you can get W7/W8.1 drivers from Install Windows 7 on your Mac using Boot Camp - Apple Support. You can also try Windows Update.
Do you have a blank DVD-R DL disc? If yes, my recommendation is
On a 2011 Mac, Windows is normally installed using BIOS mode, because the correct devices are exposed using CSM-BIOS. Without msinfo32 showing the appropriate value, I suspect the installation is not seeing some hardware correctly.
Apologies for my late response but I was very busy.
I have not been able to install drivers for a wireless network. I did manage to download drivers (actually didn't know which one) but after that no hardware (wireless adapter) was found and I got a 31 code.
In macOS Wireless works properly.

You have an Atheros Wireless card, not a Broadcom card. We should not be trying to install a Broadcom driver. Does your BC drivers package have an Atheros directory?
I have a problem to insert the whole ext into my reply (spinning circle) while posting so I try it in parts:

Yes it is the information i got using the msinfo32.exe command within W.8.1. I downloaded W.8.1 and saved it on my Desktop. I have installed it using Bootcamp. So no physical DVD or a USB flash drive.
The safest way to burn the ISO to the DVD is to right-click on the ISO, select Burn, expand the Burn dialog, choose Verify and Mount options and the lowest burn rate to avoid block corruption. Use a reputable brand's DVD blanks. I have run into many issues with sub-standard blank discs.
You mention that you have installed W8.1. If you have, download Boot Camp Support Software 5.1.5621, and install which should provide all the W8.1 drivers for your 2011 27-in iMac.
This is the folder Broadcom in the drivers directory.
The BC drivers package has a Atheros directory with the application "AtherosInstaller64". After running this application (whiteout problems) I still can't find a Atheros network adapter. See photo
