ASUS TRANSFORMER BOOK T100TAF Wireless Adaptor Failed To Start with error 10...

  My  Asus Transformer Book t100taf Wireless Adapter is a Broadcom 802.11abgn Wireless SDIO adapter fails to install while using Asus wireless Driver with an error of  "10" . it also has an exclamation point where the Broadcom 802.11abgn Wireless SDIO adapter is listed.I am using my external wireless adapter to which i originally got to connect a desktop PC runing Windows XP to the internet (i retired that pc from every day use, and when i use it, i stay clear away from the internet) to connect my 10.1 inch ASUS Tablet running Windows 8.1 to the dang internet to post this question. I do not know how much longer my external usb wireless adapter is going to work, as it is already 3 years old...

ALSO OCCURS ON WINDOWS 10

** Update

I have sent it into ASUS RMA, and had it fixed.. the whole mother board was replaced because the Wifi adapter was soldered on...

Still no avail

having no luck here. can't install older drivers because it auto installs the latest from Win10 even when disconnected from internet. I am too using an external adapter for the time being. Currently on latest Broadcom SDIO driver from AsusT100TAF support site. 

I can get to the point where i can see the networks. Every time i try to connect the internal adaptor seems to shut itself down. leaving me with no Wifi options only Airplane mode. (Until i repeat the installation steps or remove the device and restart)

I used Asus's RMA service, and had it repaired. Mine got shiped out to California. They needed to replace my Motherboard. Since, everything works just fine...

I needed to send t back. The only way to fix it was to replace my motherboard because the SDIO chip was soldiered on the board. thanks for your help.

I have no external wifi connection device. So i am unable to connect to the internet with my  asus tablet. I have tried to do a system restore, but the tablet doesnt have a restart point as it has never been setup. I followed your direcrions and follow all possible steps in your previous post. Im at a loss.
