3. Start in Windows and install Boot Camp drivers

Re: Windows 7 - Boot Camp - No Internet Connection

You can download the driver from here Boot Camp Support Software 5.1.5621 Click it

This doesn't work for me. I used these after I installed Windows 10 on my MBP with no problems using Boot Camp, other than this: Windows will NOT allow me to connect to wifi. It won't even recognize that I have a wifi network card, even with these new drivers. I can connect via Ethernet to the internet, but that's it. Any ideas on how to solve this? (I do notice that in Device Manager, under "Other Devices," there is a "Network Controller" listed there with a yellow exclamation mark and no driver installed or available for it.)

I did succeed to install them now using the link above. Finally Windows 10 recognizes my Macbook's wireless card and show the wireless antenna icon on the bottom. When I click on it, it displays my local wireless network. However, when I try to connect to it, it says Windows cannot connect. I've tried my guest network, my 2.4GHz and my 5GHz networks. I've tried my neighbor's (which is open). I can't connect to any wireless network even though they're all listed and available. I also can't connect via ethernet unless the ethernet cable is connected to my MBP when I boot into Windows 10. If it's not, I can never get ethernet recognized once inside Win 10. Ideas please?

I am having the above issue where my MBP won't recognize my network card. i have tried every option listed above to no avail. I have a MBP OS X El Capitan (retina 13" Early 2015) I have windows 8.1 64GB pro installed on the bootcamp partition and have installed bootcamp 5.1.5621. What if any remedy is available for this platform?

I had just updated my Network Card on my Windows 7 partition and could not get my Network Card to connect to the Internet.

On my initial boot-in to my Windows 7 bootcamp on my MacBook Pro a message about available Apple Updates popped up and one was my Network card needed to be updated. The Update downloaded fine and I was then asked to restart my MacBook Pro which I did and I had No Connection to the Internet.

After an hour chat with Apple Support with uninstalling the Network Adapters through Device Manager several times I was getting a message about a problem with my Firewall. Windows Firewall under Security was saying my Firewall was being handled by Bitdefender.

It turned out that somehow during the update something got changed in my Internet Security program Bitdefender. So I went to my Control Panel and selected under Programs - Uninstall Programs and selected Bitdefender and it's confirmation panel popped up with two option Uninstall and Repair to which I chose Repair. Once done I was connected to the Internet.

I am unsure if Windows 7's Firewall could be the issue when one does not have a third party Internet Security Software installed. Hope this helps.
