• The REALTEK Wireless LAN Driver is the software driver for the Realtek Wireless LAN NICs. It is a program used to communicate from the Windows PC OS to the device. This software is required in most cases for the hardware device to function properly.
• Once you uninstall the present wireless driver, your Wi-Fi adapter will stop working, so you cannot download the new driver unless you have an Ethernet connection. To check the version number of the driver, right-click on the wireless driver entry in Device Manager, click Network adapters, click Properties, click the Driver tab.

• Wireless and Network Drivers are specific to your operating system so if you change Operating Systems you must update your Network Drivers. Even without major changes, Wireless & Network Drivers update all the time and you should make sure you are always running the updated version.

Here's how you can update your wireless (WiFi) driver on your PC running Windows 7, 8, 8.1 and 10:

1. Determine the wireless driver that you're running on your PC, along with the date and version. Open the command prompt (Win key + R, type 'cmd') and enter the following command:

You should get a screen like the one below:

Find Network adapters and expand it. Find the device with Qualcomm Wireless Network Adapter or Killer Wireless Network Adapter in the name and right-click or long press on it. Select Update Driver from the context menu. Select the Browse my computer for driver software button.

2. If the driver is more than one year old, we suggest you update it. Copy the driver name from the command prompt screen and do a Google search.

3. Download the latest available driver for your wireless (WiFi) adapter from the manufacturer's website. In the example above, go to the Download Center for Intel and choose the driver for the Windows version you are running. If you're unsure of what version you're running, just check the 'System type' information in the System properties screen (Win key + Break). (We suggest downloading the file to your Desktop).

3. Install the driver by running the installer. If the driver doesn't have an installer:
   1. Open the Device Manager (You can do this by pressing the Windows but and typing it out)
      
   2. Right click on your wireless adapter and choose Update Driver Software.
      
   3. Choose the option to Browse and locate the drivers you downloaded. Windows will then install the drivers.
4. Reboot your PC after installing the updated drivers.
