Hello, I've noticed I've lost WiFi so i looked around and came across a error in my device manager. The tab is called "Other Devices" and inside there it says "Network Controller". I've tried updating the device but nothing has been found on my computer/the web. I go into properties and it says the device drivers were not installed but I can't install them! I googled how to find the drivers and it said go to "Properties" and then go to the tab "Details" and change "Device Description" to "Hardware Ids" and copy and paste the first thing that comes up into your web browser. The first thing I got was "PCI\VEN_14E4&DEV_43A9&SUBSYS_05E914E4&REV_01" and when i google that it comes with up with this website "http://www.driveridentifier.com/scan/network-controller/download/1958192792/0A9EC16424D84BAE993C0B2D118E8837/PCI%5CVEN_14E4%26DEV_43A9" but I don't know if it's the right website or a virus website. If someone could help me find another way or show me that's the right page that'd be great! Thanks.
 
Start with Lenovo page first (as it seems this is on Lenovo laptop), search for drivers by model number.
If you can't find the right one, Go to Broadcom page, and download drivers from there.

Never never trust drivers from random AllYourDriversInASinglePlace.com site!
 


Hello, this is a custom built computer (Not built by me but by my moms friend). I would go about asking my moms friend but I've been asking him questions about this PC at least 1 times a month for 2 years so I don't want to ask him about this. The Network Adapter might be Lenovo or Broadcom but I have no idea what which model number it is and I don't want to open my PC case because I've done that before and broke something on accident.
 


Where would i find the Driver? I tried googling it and installed something but it didn't work, I probably have a virus now.
