If you already made sure your network adapter is inserted properly to your motherboard, this can also be the reason why you're experiencing the issue. Your networkĪdapter may be loose that is why you're experiencing the issue from time to time.Īlso, you mentioned that your computer does not support Windows 10. The solution for this is to make sure that your network adapter is inserted properly on your motherboard. The Code 45 that you saw on your network adapter means that the network adapter may be disconnected to your computer. However, I have had Windows 10 since Microsoft forced the upgrade and have just now encountered the problem.Īny and all help is very appreciated, I have looked through pages of other forum answers and none of their solutions has worked so far. Windows 10 does not support this network adapter driver. Some people have reported this issue when they upgraded to Windows 10, as it seems that Inspiron N411z does not support Windows 10 and
Offered to replace it, when I run either the Dell/Intel driver update softwares they don't identify my network adapter as needing an update. I can't tell if there's a different driver It seems that Intel discontinued support for this driver ( see here). But, this is not frequent/reliable enough for obvious reasons!
