Answer» I need help to update my wireless driver "broadcom 802.11n network ADAPTER"
The version installed is 5.60.48.35 - driver PROVIDER: Broadcom
I tried to update it through driver manager it says it's up to date, however my free Driver Toolkit says it's outdated and Version 9 is available.
I am using Toshiba laptop , Win 7 professional x 32 bit , SERVICE pack 1, 2G RAM , processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i3 CPUDon't bother with those "driver update" programs - They treat drivers being slightly out of date as a serious issue in order to GET you to buy their software. I'd recommend you remove this "free Driver Toolkit".
If you really want to update the drivers you could always download them from Toshiba's website but there is no real need to update them unless you are having some sort of issues with your wireless card.Thanks for your reply.
As a matter of fact I need to update this driver for my WiFi hot spot to work. I downloaded the Driver Toolkit to help me find out the latest available version of the driver.
I tried Toshiba web site and I couldn't find the driver , I am sure it's there but I don't know how to find it.
If you or anyone can help me locate this driver on Toshiba web site or elsewhere I will be so grateful.
ThanksDo you have the driver disc that shipped with it ? ?Please clarify the statement about the "hot Spot" problem. Has the Toshiba laptop been working until you tried to use a "Hot Spot"?

I purchased a program called Connectify Hotspot, it turns the laptop to a WIFI router so I can use the internet on the laptop for other devices like smart phones. The phone pick up the signal from the laptop perfectly and it shows connected to the laptop WIFI but no internet on the phone, by ASKING the technical support at Connectify, they advised me to updated the WIFI driver on the Laptop. Nobody to help me!!!!
