Thanks Chupa i have a Wish from you!

You have The 3S too.

Can you please Upload your Driver Backup for 3S Users in this Forum maybe this will Help US!

Please Just Share your Driver Backup or folder!

[Chupa]

first check that we have the same cards.
if yours is a: Realtek RTL8723B Wireless LAN 802.11n USB 2.0 Network Adapter (intern, no dongle) then you are in luck.
There are a few other drivers like the: Net\Realtek USB GbE Family Controller what you might need,
but the: Net\802.11n USB Wireless LAN Card might be from the Thomson what is in  my combined driver base included. Skip that

If Bluetooth does not work use Bluetooth\Realtek Bluetooth 4.0 Adapter
the Bluetooth\Intel(R) Wireless Bluetooth(R) might be from the Thomson.

dump is done via double driver and should be installed via restore.

Thank you Chupa i have The Same WiFi Card i Hope IT will Help !

And Last Question is this full Driver Backup!

[Tokat]

Please can you Share full Driver Backup folder i need more because there is a Lot component with no or corrupt Driver!

[Chupa]

if your wifi adapter now works, windows should download all the missing drivers automatically.
(Yeah right  – in an ideal world but when did that ever happened?)
you have a space where I can send you 190MB? it is everything except the Intel video driver. I use an older one but you can just get the new one direct from intel or via windows driver install.
the upload max here is 15mb

Can you send it via Google Drive or a Link over Google Drive?

[Chupa]

i do not have or use any cloud related products, if you give me yours and the access code to upload or anything else I can upload for you. You can change your password before and after. You also can ask Chris if he wants the 3S dump in his download stash and how to upload it.

Thank you Chupa i dont Most of them didnt Work or The Drivers are corrupt!

[Chupa]

No they are not corrupt but newer windows versions tend tho make problems with doubledriver and other driver backups
often the intel drivers are blocked. I had the same problem installing the newer versions with the old drivers and I did several driver backups because I thought they were defect backups too. But only a few drivers installed properly. This is when I went back to the original installed version where everything works and decided to stop any updating of anything.
This might help for the future:

Important first steps after you got your new PC to stay out of trouble!

I had the same problem of missing wifi device on a 3S after latest Win 10 1803 update.

Open Device manager, expand bluetooth, there was a generic bluetooth adapter listed, right click update driver. The wifi card is both wifi N + bluetooth device, but seems to be picked up as bluetooth only.

Use this driver from microsoft catalog update for Win 10, choose “Realtek Semiconductor Corp. – WLAN – Realtek RTL8723B Wireless LAN 802.11n USB 2.0 Network Adapter “.  It should be the AMD64 bit driver, not 32 bit (click the name to see details of the driver).

https://www.catalog.update.microsoft.com/Search.aspx?q=802.11+n+WLAN

Download the CAB file, extract using 7zip to a folder, then in Device manager, Bluetooth – Update Driver.

“Browse my computer”, “Let me pick from a list of available drivers on my computer”, “Have Disk”, browse to extracted files, then OK and scroll through the list of available device drivers, select “Realtek RTL8723B Wireless LAN 802.11n USB 2.0 Network Adapter”.

Mine is showing version 1030.26.801.2017 from 31/01/2018.

Restart computer and you should also see “Realtek Bluetooth 4.0 Adapter” auto installed in device manager – bluetooth, and the WLAN device in Network Adapters.
