Help me to find Wireless LAN Drivers for 4720

jonnymathu

I have a very old laptop, the 4720, that I haven't used for a long time. Recently, I changed the HDD to an SSD and installed Windows 8.1 64-bit, as I couldn't download the Windows 7 ISO file from the Microsoft website. However, I encountered a problem during this process. I formatted the new SSD three times, hoping to resolve the issue without relying on Windows Update, but that didn't lead anywhere.

Here's the issue I'm facing: Every time I install Windows, the Wi-Fi works perfectly fine. I even changed the settings to not install Windows updates automatically, only to receive notifications. However, despite this, Windows installs something, and after a restart, the Wi-Fi is either disabled or not starting up.

Could you please help me find the Wireless LAN Drivers for Windows 8.1 64-bit so that I can at least connect to the internet? By the way, the Acer driver cannot be installed since it requires an internet connection and .NET 3.5

Try this Dell driver for this card "Intel Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection, v.10.1.1.4 (TIC 114773), A03" or this "Intel Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection, (R) Wireless WiFi Link 4965AGN, v.FLWSP0064D, A16" see if these drivers works. As Intel suggests using their Intel Driver & Support Assistant which you can't use or the Aspire 4720 Application > Acer Updater that is the only thing that Acer has on this laptop.
