2 Best Ways to Update Realtek Wi-Fi Driver

Downloading and installing the Realtek wireless LAN driver can be accomplished in two ways. The difference between the two methods is that one is manual and the other is automatic. If you are short on time or don't have much technical knowledge, we recommend that you use Advanced Driver Updater.

This driver updating utility scans the computer for out-of-date drivers and displays them on the screen, allowing users to decide whether or not to install the updated driver version. Additionaly, updating the driver results in a complete backup of the previous driver being created.

 

Method 1: Manually Obtaining and Updating Realtek Wi-Fi Drivers on a PC Running Windows

Keep in mind that you should gather information about your operating system and the Realtek device model you are using before proceeding with the manual steps. This information will be required regardless of whether you download the driver from the manufacturer's website or through Device Manager.

In order to make use of Device Manager, follow these steps:

1. Press the Windows key and the X key together to open the Device Manager.

2. Go to Network adapter > double-click on it to expand it > click on the arrow to close it. Right-click on Wireless LAN card and select Update driver from the menu.

3. Select the option to search for drivers automatically.

4. Wait for Windows to locate and install any available updates before starting the program.

5. After the computer has been restarted, the Realtek Wi-Fi driver for Windows 7 64 bit will be fully installed on your computer.

6. At this point, you should check to see if you can establish a connection to the network.

 

Method 2: Download and install the Realtek Wi-Fi drivers with the help of Advanced Driver Updater

Alternatively, if the manual method proves to be too time-consuming, Advanced Driver Updater can be used. There is no requirement for you to be knowledgeable about your system or device in order to use the driver updating tool.

It is possible to update the driver using the FREE or registered versions of Advanced Driver Updater.

When using the registered version, you can quickly and easily update any files that have become outdated. The Free version, on the other hand, only allows for the updating of a single driver at a time, which is inconvenient for some users.

To make use of Advanced Driver Updater, follow the steps outlined below:

1. Download and install Advanced Driver Updater on your computer.

2. Run the driver updating utility and click on the Start Scan Now button to begin the scanning process.

3. Advanced Driver Updater will run a system-wide scan for out-of-date drivers and replace any that are found.

4. Click on the Update Driver button next to the Realtek device to have the most recent version of this driver downloaded and installed automatically on your computer.

5. The paid version, on the other hand, enables you to perform a bulk update of all outdated drivers at the same time by selecting the Update All option.

6. After the LAN driver has been updated, restart the computer.
