    I cannot find anything on the broadcom website, the latest for my lenovo is 5.100.82.34 Win7 x64 , do you have a newer driver for any brand of notebook?

    I keep getting random disconnects from my router

    Thanks for any help.

    John.

    Neither the setup or the device manger have disk method seems to work, get a incompatible driver message, and i cannot even force it.

    edit : i have had a look at what is available at station-drivers.com and i cannot find a driver for the BCM4313 :(

    Thanks

    That's probably because you're using Lenovo here. It never works fine with their cards.

    Try using Lenovo 6.30.59.26 for Windows 8 for ThinkPad X131e. This particular driver version supports Win 7 and Win 8 as far as I know.

    Hi.

    There is 7 different version of the ThinkPad X131e, i had a look though them, then downloaded the Win7 wifi driver that appears to be broadcom by the version number, but the setup did not do anything, and i tried extraction the file, but the result was gibberish, no .inf files , looks like they have the wrong hardware id.

    I did find an 5.100.82.112 which is slighley newer.

    Thanks

    John.
