Lets try this driver
Download
Right-click once you're done downloading it and choose Extract all… then change the Downlaods to Desktop inside the Extract All window and click Next . Double click the .exe file inside the extracted folder .
Question : Did this laptop come with Windows 8 pre-installed ?
A little more info (which may or may not be relevant):
When I go into DeviceManager and click Network adapters, it shows:
Bluetooth Device (Personal Area Network)
Bluetooth Device (RFCOMM Protocol TDI)
Under Other devices, when I select Network Controller, it shows (under General): "The drivers for this device are not installed. (Code 28)"
Is this "Network Controller" under Other devices related to WiFi operations?
Update in progress.
I'll let you know the outcome.
Thanks.
LAN driver:
Downloaded, installed, rebooted -- no success.
When I try to: Connect to a network
I am advised: Not connected. No connections are available.
If I click: See full map
Network map of: Local Area Connection ==> The adapter is not connected.
The LAN driver is for Ethernet .
What happens when you press FN+F12 button ? You should see something that says wireless is on and if you press the keys again it should say wireless is off .
Sorry, I just noticed that I missed your Post #11 (looks like I was typing a message when you posted it).
I suspect that was the WiFi driver, so I will do it now.
To answer your question, my laptop came with Windows 7 pre-installed.
See if your wifi is enabled inside Bios .
Press F2 while the PC is booting up select Advanced and look in their for wifi and see if it says Enabled . If not Enable it and press F10 to save and restart .

hi lotstolearn,
under network adapters you need a family controller and a wireless lan driver, which 1 i do not know but someone else on the forum will :)
