Windows 7: Dysfunctional Network Drivers

[TheMaskedIndividual]

I'm not sure if this is the right place to upload this question, but I need help with this.

So recently, I refurbished an old laptop up in my attic with a fresh (and forged) install of Windows 7. The installation was a success, but here's where the problems come in.

When I tried to connect my Windows 7 machine to one of the networks I have, apparently, in the WIFI tab, it would say:

"No connections are available."

I tried troubleshooting it, I tried finding some driver updates online, but nothing has worked. And what's even worse is that the computer doesn't even have Microsoft .NET Framework 4 on it, which some of the programs I was trying out required it to be installed, and I CAN'T even installed Framework 4 because the installation requires an internet connection.

If anyone sees this thread, could you help?

Also, if you're wondering, the drivers I currently have installed are:

Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection

Realtek RTL8101E Family PCI-E Fast Ethernet NIC (NDIS 6.20)

The servers with the supporting software on hwdrivers are temporarily offline.
I'm also looking for an Intel update as well.

Have you tried Googling for ".net framework 4 offline installer" ?

Realtek RTL8101E Family PCI-E Fast Ethernet NIC (NDIS 6.20)

At the risk of stating the obvious, that has nothing to do with wifi.

Didn't know that the Realtek driver didn't anything to do with wireless connections.

If I need to find drivers, I just use this program: https://www.iobit.com/en/driver-booster.php

Used it on Windows 10, but should work on 7, too.

Also, does it require an internet connection itself?

It does to download the drivers.

If Windows 7 had a secure and safe way of using it, I'd still be. I miss 7.
