Windows 8 Cannot Connect To This Network

Posted : admin On 27.07.2019

Re: Can't connect to this network. If I could find the right driver, I could use nLite to slipstream it into the install disk, hopefully eliminating the BSOD issue. Some wireless drivers are simply a PITA to install on Windows 8 RP, especially with HP computers. This isn't the first HP that I've had this issue with, & the others were newer cards. The wifi network is seen but cannot connect. I have used a ethernet cable to update the drivers but it says I have the lastest driver. Acer Aspire 5742 came with the upgrade to win 8. Windows 7 worked perfectly.
