Q: Bootcamp No WiFi under Windows 10

I just installed Win 10 with bootcamp. No problem. Everything works fine.  Except I can not see my WiFi network under Windows.  Any idea.  It looks like Windows does not recognize my Network Mac Card.

 

Thank you

iPhone 6, iOS 8.1

    Do you have any unknown devices in Device Manager?

     

    If BC drivers are not installed yet, using Boot Camp: System requirements for Microsoft Windows operating systems - Apple Support find the W8.1 64-bit drivers appropriate for your Mac year/model and test. W10 is not officially supported yet.

    Windows 10 isn't even in public beta at this point. It's a "technology preview". Apple doesn't support Windows 10 in boot camp at this point.

     

    The Windows 10 preview doesn't work with a lot of stuff at the moment.

     

    If you really want to play with it, install it in VirtualBox or VMWare Fusion or something. At least the networking functions will work that way. Setting custom screen resolutions is still difficult if not impossible as it doesn't work with the display drivers in most virtualization packages that provide custom scaling, etc.

    Well, it is officially released by now and the Wifi driver still has issues. I can't connect to my WLAN (it works fine with all other devices) but with my iPhone 6 Plus as a hotspot, I have access.

    And yes, Bluetooth is still missing.

    And no, I do not expect any help from Apple for a Windows problem.

    I will return my pretty "one interface only" new Mac Book retina 12" and close the chapter "Windows on Mac" for this life. There is more to do than trying the impossible.

    Yes. Windows 10 has been released.

     

    No, Apple has NOT released drivers for it yet.

     

    Historically, it takes several months for them to do so after a new Windows release. Have patience.

    This does in fact work. Did it today on my MacBook Air and wifi popped up like a charm. Thanks Sam.

    After i scan for hardware change in the device manager the error pop up and said my driver could not be install (code 28).

    please let me know if there is other solution.

     

    Note:

    I tried that but device manager doesn't show any network adapter. I bought a macbook air just last week and installed windows 10 (education) on it. I see only 'network controller' in device manager. On a related note, I did have problems installing Windows 10 on this macbook. After Bootcamp assistant created the windows install disk on a flash drive, the computer restarted but did not automatically go to the install disk to bbot up. I had to restart it again and hold the option key for it to do that. So I still do not get the bootcamp screen when I startup. Could my problem be related to that?

    Can you run setup.exe from your Bootcamp folder on the USB Installer and check if you see any Network Adapters?

    After I installed windows 10 manually, the flash drive that had the install files doesn't show anything. So if there were any bootcamp drivers installed on it, well I'll never know. In the meantime, my network adapter problem has been solved. I clicked on 'network controllers' and asked it to update the drivers. I chose Broadcom 802.11.n driver (Sam above suggested the broadcom adapter) and so far it has worked.

     

    BTW, I had called apple support (I have a few months of call-in support I guess?) and they said that windows 10 on mac does not support wifi. But here it is! Maybe apple needs to wake up?

    I did just like Sam said and no luck.  I've also got the issue where the airplane mode switch won't toggle off and seems to be related to the wifi issue.

    I have a late 2012 Mac Mini I was thinking maybe the Broadcom driver isn't compatible or something??

    Thank you SamJudo58, your fix worked for me when I was left adrift of the internet on windows 10  installation.

    After over an hour of getting nowhere and not knowing why, this got me up and running in 4 minutes... Thanks!

     

    I did have to download the Legacy & Win7 drivers to get it to connect as well.
