g75vx network adaptop drivers for windows 7

[DAN16M]

is anyone having trouble with installing drivers for the network controller on windows 7? they start to install only to say that the the device has been disconnected re-insert the device. I can see the network adaptor in device manager but with out drivers it doesn't do any thing. any ideas?? thanks

Network adapter Problem:

a HUGE THANKS to @rledge21 for finding the right driver.
Fixed the problem, at least for me.
Here is the link for the driver that did the trick for me:

In case anyone is wondering, I Downgraded from Windows 8 to Win7, had this problem for months. Finally solved it. HELLO, WI-FI! 😄

Seems pre-mature for Asus to end support for Windows 7 so soon after the launch of Windows 8. I'm putting a video together in order to simplify the downgrade path for G75vx owners. After a lot of trial and error, and some great tips on this forum (BIG thanks @rledge21 for 802.11ac) I've got everything working except the Bluetooth (Broadcom BCM20702a0) adapter. I've tried downloads from HP and Broadcom themselves. The driver from HP gets the furthest, but they both have their own way of telling me they can't find a compatible device. Is there a physical switch I'm missing somewhere?

Has anyone been able to get the bluetooth working on their G75vx-BHI7N11?

Which on the list did you download and got it to work? The ones listed on the wireless list doesn't have any .exe files so I don't know how to install those so I got the one from the utilities. I installed the latest one from the utilties and wifi came on but it stays on with the fn + f2 key being completely useless to turn on or off. I freshely installed windows 7 ulitimate over windows 8 which my g75vx came with. So, did you manage to get your fn +f2 key to work with the toggling of the wifi on or off? If you do, please provide some detailed insights on how to resolve it.

In the Wireless list, I downloaded the most updated version (version 6.30.95.26) but if you got it to work, hey, congratulations! 😉 As for the fn+f2 problem, that sounds like a touchpad driver problem. A lot of people had the same problem but with fn+f9, but it's been fixed. Try this (thanks to @cjonash): "I managed to get tne fn+F9 to work by installing the touchpad driver from the supplied CD (it is the Win 8 version, but it also works for Win 7). I just run the install exe-file."
This worked for me. Installed this driver, rebooted... et voilá! Hope it works for you...

My g75vx didn't come with the driver or recover disc from windows 8. I downloaded the touch pad driver from the Asus support site and all my f keys work but the problem is that the wifi will not respond to the fn + f2 key even though an icon appears when I press the fn+f2 key showing either "all wireless device on or off" but it doesn't really affect the wifi at all. The wifi still remains on even though I turn it off with the f2 key. I wonder if I go buy a windows 8 pro oem, I wonder if it will fix all the driver issues? Cuz currently, my windows 7 experience feels handicapped on my G75vx.

Then the only thing i can think of to help you is try unninstalling that accesories driver that you used to make the wi-fi work and install the actual wireless driver from that link i sent. Other than that i haven't really heard of your problem, so i can't help you. If your problem persists, feel free to make a new thread on the forum or search, maybe someone has had the same problem you're having now?

Nevermind. Looks like the Windows 8 driver (from the G75VX downloads) might be the only driver that recognizes this card in it's new configuration within the G75vx. I thought I would give that a shot this morning and it worked like a charm.

For the bluetooth, I just went to the Win 7 Driver section of the Asus support page for my laptop (G75-VW).. and loaded the Win 7 atheros bluetooth driver... poof it worked.
do not install the INTEL bluetooth drivers... it confused the crap out of my system and caused symptoms like you mention above...
