Find Intel Drivers
If you are having issues with your Intel product, then there may be an issue with the drivers for that product that need to be corrected. Driver issues can be corrected by downloaded and installing the latest versions of the drivers for that device. Intel’s products are of the highest quality, but even thought they are very good quality, they are still prone to having issues on occasion.
Fix that Outdated or Corrupt Driver!
The drivers of Intel devices can become corrupt or outdate and if this is the case, they need to be updated in order to keep your Intel device working properly. One product that can be affected by out of date drivers is the WiFi products.
If you’re having problems with your WiFi devices, then you will not be able to get onto the internet. This can be quite a frustrating problem if you rely heavily on being able to browse the internet for your business or other purposes. There are ways that you can get the new drivers for your device. Here is one way that you can do so yourself which will require the use of another PC if you cannot connect to the internet with the PC that needs to be updated.
1. Visit the Intel website at www.intel.com
2. Choose your location from the menu provided.
3. Hover the mouse over the "Work" animation. You will see that a sub-menu opens up within the "Work" animation box.
4. Click "Support and Downloads."
5. The Intel Product Support page will now open. Here, you can use their detection system to automatically search for driver updates. Or, use the Browse for Product Support menu to find your product.
6. Scroll all the way to the bottom where it says "Wireless Networking." Then, click the "Wireless Networking" option from the first menu.
7. Click the Intel WiFi Products option from the second menu
8. Click Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection from the third menu. (NOTE: You'll need to use these three menus regardless of what product you're trying to fix.)
9. Click "Drivers and Software."
10. The Download Center will open. Here, choose your Operating System from the menu provided, and then choose "Drivers" underneath "Download Type."
11. Click the Driver you wish to download, (in our case, it's the Intel® PRO/Wireless and WiFi Link Drivers- Only for Windows 7*)
12. Accept the The Terms and Agreement and click Download on your file.
13. A page will open that contains specifications and instructions regarding the driver.
14. Click Download next to the .exe file listed on the page. The download will start immediately.
15. Install the files to your computer.
Intel Driver Installation
When you have the new driver files downloaded to your PC, you can go through the installation process. This process can be run using the InstallShield Wizard to take care of the complete installation of the new driver. When the installation is complete, you will have to restart your computer in order to make sure the changes take affect. After that, try getting onto the internet again to make sure that the update fixed the issue.
