To get the ethernet or Wifi driver for your offline computer SDI has to be run on a computer with an internet connection first, extract the downloaded zip and run the executable. At the top it will say updates are available and to click on the bar to download, when you do that an Update window will pop up.
Click OK and let the files download. The driver s will begin to install and within a matter of seconds your network should be up and running complete with a working driver. Being based on driver packs, you can download all the packs you require to create your own complete offline driver package and let Snappy install all of your missing or outdated drivers.
During testing it does indeed appear to be quite accurate with its detection routines which is good when it comes to correctly identifying more tricky drivers. A complete 9GB package is available via torrent on the product download page. Driver installation is supported from XP up to Windows 8. Two different versions are available which are the standard cloud based version that will go online to detect and download the drivers and the DriveTheLife for Network Card version that includes common ethernet and Wifi drivers in the download package for offline usage.
Simply download the setup file of around MB and install the program. Things were slightly better on another PC when it installed a missing Realtek LAN driver but even that gave us problems when the program crashed causing Explorer to also crash.
As a result it should be used as a last resort if other solutions here fail. DriverEasy is one of a sizeable number of cloud based driver updating applications. What makes this program more useful is DriverEasy has an offline mode that allows you to scan the computer without a network driver, then read the scan log on a computer with an internet connection to download the required driver. A drawback is the DriverEasy program has to be installed on both the offline and online computer.
Another probable cause for this error message and being unable to connect to WPA secured wireless access points is lack of support for these encryption protocols, by the hardware network chipset. Older chipsets may not support WPA and WPA 2, search online for your network chipset technical specs to know if this is the case. In this case, the only solution for you is to upgrade the WLAN chipset possible on desktop PCs fitted with Wifi cards, not very viable on a laptop or change your encryption method to WEP.
In some cases, the wireless LAN chipset manufacturer might have released newer drivers that add support for these newer security protocols. Your email address will not be published.
