Hi guys, I have bought a HP ProBook 450 g1 laptop one year ago and it's a pain in the a** since then. Starting from defective screen that needed to be replaced by the company to the never ending wireless problem.The problem of wireless was at first that it disconnects every while from wifi and the wireless card disappears or some times still there but don't connect to the wifi again . I sent him to HP again as it's still coved by the warranty and after a long time of waiting they told me that the Wlan is good and the problem is with the driver and said nothing else !I have searched online for a solution for this and one friend who has the same laptop (and ironically had the same two problems with the screen and wifi) and he gave me another Wlan driver that worked with him and also with me.Every thing got well after that till i went to college and tried to connect to the public wifi ! Here the same problems appears again but wiith the public wifi of college and university city .the laptop fails to connect to the wifi meanwhile every other laptop with my friends is working as a charm ! My laptop itself is even working on my home wifi .I tried to go to the HP support site to get the appropriate wlan driver but to my surprise i found about 18 different driver !Of course i didn't know which one to choose ! i tried to now the exact wlan card in this damn laptop from its data sheet and found this :

WLAN:
Realtek 802.11 b/g/n 1x19,10
Meditek 802.11 b/g/n 1x1 with Bluetooth® v4.0 Combo9,10
Intel® 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac 1x1 with Bluetooth® v4.0 Combo23,10
Intel® 802.11 a/b/g/n 2x2 with Bluetooth® 4.0 Combo9,10 Intel® 802.11 a/b/g/n 2x2 with Bluetooth® v2.1 (on Linux operating system) 9,10 WWAN: HP hs3110 HSPA+ Mobile Broadband Module10,15 HP lt4112 LTE/HSPA+ Gobi 4G Module10,15, 24

I don't know which driver should i download
Can any one help me with this dilemma ? Because this laptop is driving me really mad.

You can try to use a program like Speccy to help identify which specific Wireless card you have in your system:

Or you can also download and install them all one by one. Often if the driver software doesn't recognize that the corresponding Wireless card is present they'll stop the install. And if the install goes through and it still doesn't work you can always uninstall it and move onto the next. It's tedious but should work.

Hope this helps
