This seems to be a problem affecting a lot of people based on my last 11+ hours of trying to fix it and seeing so many posts on the Microsoft support site, some here on Dell, and elsewhere on the interwebs. Ever since I updated to Windows 10 (I have the 'Pro' version, although I doubt that makes a difference), I have not been able to connect to the Internet via WiFi. I am using my iPhone to connect at the moment. I am hoping you all might be able to help. I have a Dell desktop, although this problem seems to affect laptops too. Here's my system: Dell XPS 8700 Processor: Intel Core i7-4790 CPU @ 3.60 GHz Installed memory (RAM): 8.00GB System type: 64-bit Operating System, x64-based processor Windows Internet Connection Troubleshooter I have run the trouble shooter (Right-click on WiFi icon in system tray) at least 20 times, but no luck. RedmondPie.com A post on RedmondPie.com seems to have the most knowledgeable suggestions, although unfortunately none have worked for me, but they might for others.
I am also mentioning it so that you know I tried the main suggestion in the post, which is also on the Microsoft website (deleting a VPN something-or-other from the Registry), and many of the suggestions in the comments: Revert to Previous Network Adapter Driver One of the suggestions, which seemed to help a lot of people, is to revert back to the previous network adapter driver. I tried it, but it did not work. I can hardly believe it, but I solved it. The clue was in that long printout from the Windows troubleshooter: Windows cannot connect to '[my WiFi name]' The wireless network security key is not correct.
I spent a lot of time trying to figure out how to correct the network security key. Somewhere along the line, I figured I would uninstall the network adapter.
I had reverted to the previous version, and when that didn't work, updated it, but I realized I had never uninstalled it. It took me a while to figure out how to reinstall it. Eventually, I used the Dell process of detecting my computer and then telling me which drivers were recommended for my system. I installed two of the top 3 - one of them, an Intel driver, would not install. I am pretty sure this is the one that fixed the problem: BCM_Wireless_WT4_D3P4M_A01_Setup_ZPE (1).exe I did have to reboot, and then I right-clicked on the WiFi icon in the system tray, selected my WiFi, clicked 'Connect', and then it asked me for my network security key. Fortunately, my ISP, which provided the router, makes it easy to find the security key (sticker on the router). I typed it in, and lo and behold, I had WiFi again.
I sure hope Microsoft fixes this problem so that more people do not have to spend nearly 14 hours searching for a solution! Update: After reviewing my notes, it might have been the following two driver updates that helped. These driver updates are specific to XPS 8700, but I imagine there similar updates for other Dell desktops, laptops, etc.
Dell made it much easier with the tool.

They are almost a secret (not on purpose) as it is hard to find the 'how to subscribe' info by searching the Dell website. That link will take you to the right web page though. I have Dell Inspiron 14Z. I had windows 8.1 but upgraded to Windows 10.
After the upgrade, the wi-fi gets disconnected all the time. I have to restart my computer for the Wi-Fi to work again. Sometimes, the Wi-Fi works by simply using the troubleshoot problems option available after right clicking on the Wi-Fi icon. This is not a good thing. All my other devices - iPhone, iPad, MacBook Air connect to Wi-Fi without any issue.
I uninstalled the Wi-Fi driver and re-installed but the problem persists. Does Dell Support have any suggestions? I could not find any solutions from Microsoft support forums. Network Adapter for Wi-Fi is Intel(R) Centrino(R) Wireless-N 2230, Driver Version 15.18.0.1.
Part 1 upgraded 2012 MBA to 2015 MBPr (I loved Mint 17.1 Rebecca on the MBA but graphics/kernel issues means I need to wait till 17.2 to use Mint again - First World Problems) I've managed to install Ubuntu on an SDcard - boots, works, happy happy. Great tutorial on this I cannot get the wifi to work. Used Terminal to determine the chipset: $ lspci -nn grep 0280 03:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM43602 802.11ac Wireless LAN SoC [14e4:43ba] (rev 01) I tried enabling the driver in Software & Updates >Additional Drivers. Ubuntu freezes so that's a no go. I used terminal to install the following blobs/drivers (not sure what you call them) offline: $sudo dpkg -i **bcmwl-kernel-source_6.30.223.248+bdcom-0ubuntu2_amd64.deb** **dkms_2.2.0.3-2ubuntu3_all.deb** This caused the system to freeze at 'DKMS: install complete' I rebooted and tried reinstalling using Ubuntu Software Installer which caused it to hang. I'm a noob at linux so please bare with me.
I've not messed with anything else, can someone please explain what I am doing wrong? Okay, here's part 2: I tried installing: bcmwl-kernel-source_6.30.223.30+bdcom-0ubuntu3_amd64.deb This is the error message: Selecting previously unselected package bcmwl-kernel-source.

I have a simple that works out of the box, but in your case you could always add the driver to the SD card. Add a small FAT32 (using GParted) or exFAT partition (make free space using GParted and format exFAT with OS X Disk Utility) on your SD card to make sharing files between OS X and Ubuntu easy. For exFAT you might need apt-get install exfat-fuse exfat-utils before you can mount it. Blackfield V Blackfield Album on this page.
Hi So I purchased a WiFi 802.11ac & Bluetooth 4.0 LE upgrade kit from Ebay for my Mac Pro 4.1. In OS X it works like a charm!
But I need to have windows as well, and even though the installation was a hassle, I succeeded and can now dual boot. But, with no Wifi or bluetooth support because Windows 10 have no drivers for the wifi and bluetooth adapter. I've tried to download the boot camp drivers from the Boot Camp Assistant software, no luck. I've tried to download the latest boot camp drivers and installed the broadcom drivers, but still no luck. I've tried Boot Camp Support Software: 5.1.5621 5.1.5640 I've figured out that it uses the BCM43602 chipset, but could not find any drivers for that chipset.

Click to expand.I also purchased that same card for my 2009 5.1 Mac Pro. I managed to get it installed and showing up in the system report but I couldn't get my Magic Mouse and Apple BT keyboard to connect so I removed it and reinstalled the Apple original WIFI card and hooked the Apple original BT card back up.(whew!) It may have been because I didn't disconnect and reconnect my MM and KB. I kept the card but connected a large external antenna to the Apple BT card.
I still had intermittent connection issues but lately it's been working perfectly. Maybe one of the latest El Capitan updates helped? I'm using ethernet for my internet now (much faster). I believe I'm using Bootcamp 6.0 now to boot into Windows 7. At least that's the version in the utility folder. There is a Windows 10 upgrade available in W7 tray but when I click on it, though it tries to run, it immediately quits. I've been getting my W7 updates no problem.
I hid the Windows 10 upgrade icon when it first showed up so maybe that's an issue. I just have Windows installed to be familiar with it in case I go the PC route when my cMac Pro needs replacing. I booted into Windows 7 a few days ago and had no Bluetooth and apparently it is now not supported by Windows 7.
It was working a few months ago? I could try reinstalling the WIFI/BT card but I'll just use my Apple USB mouse and KB for now. Well, Bluetooth is working agin in Windows 7. It must have been fixed by an update.
