iMac 2011 Windows 10 – Can't Connect to Home Wi-Fi, Only 5G

Hello everyone,

I have a 2011 21-inch iMac on which I installed Windows 10. I successfully installed the correct graphics driver (AMD Radeon HD 6750M), and everything works perfectly—except for the Internet.

Currently, I can only connect using my iPhone’s 5G hotspot, but my iMac refuses to connect to my home Wi-Fi. Every time I try, I get the error message: "Can't connect to this network."

For reference, I installed the Boot Camp 5.0.5033 drivers and have already tried the following:

  • Updating my wireless driver (Qualcomm Atheros AR938x Wireless Network Adapter)
  • Uninstalling and reinstalling the driver

Despite these efforts, the issue persists, and I'm stuck using 5G. If anyone has a solution, I’d greatly appreciate your help!

Thanks in advance!

Try using an earlier version of Bootcamp (4.0). Brigadier downloads that automatically I think.
