WiFi & Bluetooth Drivers Install

Part I: Before Starting

  • Make sure your system is compatible by reviewing our support article on Wireless Network Card Compatibility and checking your new adapter's product page for details.
  • Keep in mind that transmission speeds vary based on environmental conditions and your actual internet speed depends on the bandwidth provided by your ISP.
  • Avoid connecting or testing speeds while using a VPN as it can reduce performance.
  • Download all required drivers (Wi-Fi and Bluetooth) before physically installing your network card. You can find more details in the Driver Installation Steps below.
  • For Linux based systems, see this article on Intel Wireless Adapter Support for Linux Systems.
