Consumer

Do I choose driver-only or Intel® PROSet/Wireless Software?

Choose Intel® PROSet/Wireless Software if you want troubleshooting tools and some advanced security options beyond what's included with Microsoft Windows*.

If you are using Windows to create and manage your wireless profiles, you can download the driver-only package.

Note We no longer provide the driver only package for consumers. You may still download it from the IT administrator page.
  1. Go to Download Center.
  2. Select your adapter from the list.
  3. Select your operating system to narrow down the choices.

If you are not sure which file you need, choose either:

  1. The Intel® PROSet/Wireless Software
  2. Use the Intel® Driver & Support Assistant to automatically update your driver to the latest available version.
