Drivers WiFi Acer Aspire 1650 for Windows XP.

[rograjo]

Hello everyone.

I have been left with an Acer Aspire 1650 laptop to format it and reinstall Windows XP, and I find that neither of the two drivers or WiFi card controllers that appear on the Acer support website works.

I have tried with the Windows Update support, but it also does not find the specified component.

Then I tried with recent versions of programs like “Driver Genius” and similar ones and they also do not find any valid driver for the WiFi card of this laptop.

I have even tried to install Windows 7 in case it already had support for this WiFi card and then try to find out the brand and model of said component. But Windows 7 also does not support this card.

I don't know what else to do. I have been repairing the computers of friends and acquaintances for a few years now and this is a problem that I have never encountered before.

Let's see if we can all find a solution to all this. If not, I already see myself buying a USB WiFi adapter.

Thank you for your help.

I assume you already installed the latest ones for the motherboard (INF) before installing the WiFi ones, so it's probably not the one that comes with the intel card.

Try with this one (Ambit).

Salu2!
