Broadcom 802.11 + Realtek 8188EU wireless issue on Windows 10
Hello all,
I got serious issues with the HP G4 250. When I bought it the integrated Broadcom 802.11 device catches the wireless signal really bad. Even with my phone hot's spot on the distance should be not more than 20 centimetres away from the laptop. Now I'm using this wireless card 1.5 meters away from a router with an external antenna.
Ping statistics for 8.8.8.8 :
Packets: Sent = 167, Received = 132, Lost = 35 (20% loss),
Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds:
Minimum = 1ms, Maximum = 2562ms, Average = 98ms
So instead of troubleshooting I just boght a mini USB Realtek RTL8188EU device for $10, which worked fine until today I upgraded Windows 10 with the automatic updates. Now the Realtek doesn't show any network. I tried restarting few times and different USB ports. I tried disable/enable. Install/Uninstall from the device manager. Nothing helped.
Could you please help me find working drivers for both (or at least for one) of the cards?
1) Broadcom 802.11 - current driver version 6.30.223.256
2) Realtek 8188EU - current driver version 1030.6.1201.2015
Thank you in advance!
Cheers,
Nick
