recently partitioned my late 2015 macbook pro with bootcamp but can't seem to connect to my wifi from the windows side. i have tried manually installing the drivers and updating the network adapters. also tried uninstalling them and scanning for hardware changes but still no luck that way. i'm able to connect to other networks but not the same one my macbook is connected to.
MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X El Capitan (10.11.6)
Can you run Apple Software Update on the Windows side, and check if there is a new version being offered? Do not apply, but just check.
See Use Apple Software Update to fix Wi-Fi issues in Boot Camp - Apple Support and About the security content of Wi-Fi Update for Boot Camp 6.1 - Apple Support for reference.
Use the Sniffer mode as documented in Check for Wi-Fi issues using your Mac - Apple Support to capture packets from your second Mac while the problematic Mac is trying to connect. You will need to use the Scan function to find the appropriate channel and width. Once you capture the packets, upload them to a service like DropBox and post a link, which I can download and then analyze the packets.
What type of a network is the one you are failing to connect to?
my home wifi network
Is it a 2.4G, 5G, 802.11n, 802.11ac? What is the version of Broadcom driver?
