Bootcamp No WiFi under Windows 10

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.

Hello Guys!

I found a soulution to the problem.

-> go in Windows 10 to youre search bar and type -- device manager -- click on it and go to network adapters.

select broadcom and uinstall the driver. Next cick in the top window on action and scan for hardware changes.

the broadcom driver will return and your wifi problem is sloved. let me know if it doesn't work

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

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.

This sounds really really stupid, perhaps I didn't even have this problem but I tried everything on the forums (uninstalling the network adapter, downloading new drivers from the support, hibernation/sleep, various coding)...but I clicked "multilingual Canadian english"(we spell things differently from time to time).... After 6 hours of research that is pretty darn stupid. Little did I know I should have simply stuck with the american keyboard... #makeamericagreatagain 😉

Hi there!

I am having this problem for a second time. First time, the suggested fix worked! Then my windows machine updated and now it doesn't work again.

I also can't even find the Broadcom driver... Maybe therein lies the problem?

Thanks!

Hi, I was also having this issue for many months until I decided to get to the bottom of the problem. Go to Apple's website: If you don't see some Mac features when using Windows on your Mac - Apple Support to for the guide to download the support drivers for your bootcamp windows and install the drivers from your USB thumbdrive after you have launched windows 10.

The drivers can be downloaded from your bootcamp Assistant. If you don't see the download options for software in bootcamp assistant, choose Action > Download Windows Support Software from the menu bar.

But in my mac, there was not shown broadcom in network adapters. So what can I do?

Go to Device Manager -> View and enable Show Hidden Devices and check.

Guys, Deleting and reinstalling broadcom isn't going to do a single thing unless you have a very specific type of mac. The newer macs require the "Windows" or "Apple support software" and that's what installs the drivers for these specific things. To get this go to bootcamp with you wininstall disk and uncheck everything accept install Windows support software and let it do that. Now take the drive out and start back into windows. Hit command E and look for you drive. Now go to bootcamp and run the setup file. This will install everything you need and then will restart. This will help you get where you need to go. Now if you've got that installed and still nothing works then do as they're saying below. Also if wifi seems to be slower here than on your native OS then go to devices manager and go to update the broadcom driver and navigate in that to your wininstall disk > bootcamp > Drivers > Broadcom and install the correct one.

I can't find broadcam all I see is Ethernet

Hai, I can't connect my mac using wifi. I installed windows 10. I didn't see Broadcom on network manager
