Any more question, I'd be happy to answer them.This package contains the files needed for installing the Broadcom Wireless 802.11b/g Adapter driver. The card works like a champ and has great range on both 2.4 and 5.0 mhz.no disconnect or drops But the good news is that the new cards are backwards compatible Is capable of transmitting the new ac signal. Now the ac band is only utilized if the router This card has the new ac band(max speed 1700 Mbps) plus it has the 2 x 2 signal transmission vs. I purchased an Intel 7260 ac half mini pcie wifi card($29.99 with guarateed 2 day shipping from Amazon). and one phillips screwdriver(The very small ones). It is really easy to swap this card out with a new one. The Broadcam wifi card is a lemon a design flaw. The range test has convinced me the antennas are good.
I have even tried rolling back the drivers. You would think you could connect through the G band(max speed 54 Mpbs) but no! So the N Band 1 x 1 feature of this card is out the question. I have been able to connect just fine with good range and stability but only with the primitive B band(max speed 5 Mbps). The N band will not work as well(This is the one we want and what was advertised). Other settings like 54g can be selected but will not work. Hence, the reason the default setting under the properties is(use only 802.11b). the card is only capable of 802.11b band. the card is only capable of operating through the 2.4 mhz I truly believe this is the case through research and testimonials. with the problem of not being able to install the new 6.30.223.181 driver, this cannot be investigated any futher.Ģ) bad production network card design. What I gathered through multiple adjusting of the wifi card settings, 1 of 2 problems are occuring that cause theġ) bad driver. Also I've attached the events found in Event Viewer\Application.Įrror message when updating through VAIO UpdateĮrror Message when running manually installation packageĮrror "Update.cpp 1187" has occurred and Setup cannot continue See below my laptop details as well as the error message I get when installing the package.

I know this issue has been long discussed in the community but I'm hoping this driver update will sort all my problems with the Wifi signal. I wanted to update this driver because I'm having connection drops intermittently and poor wifi signal from day 1 even though I normally place my laptop very close to the Wifi router.
