I've seen few users selling a HP laptop and naming it as HP 3168ngw. The problem is HP 3168ngw laptop model does not exist. So if you having trouble to find the drivers, it is because you searched for the wrong keyword. If you browse or search on HP website they didn't even listed 3168ngw on the website.
HP 3168ngw actually is a MPN, not a Laptop Model number.
3168ngw actually is a MPN (model Part Number), to be precise it is a motherboard which HP uses on some of their laptop model. So it is difficult to get the right drivers by searching for the motherboard numbers because HP listed drivers base on laptop model number.
How do I get the original drivers for HP 3168ngw?
Actually a laptop motherboard, unlike desktop motherboard, especially HP are different is some ways. You will not have an installer which will install all the drivers for the motherboard, instead there are many other hardware that assembled and installed on a motherboard.
Each of the hardware could be different from one to another model even they are using the same motherboard.
What you need to do is identify the right product number for you HP laptop. Normally you will find a sticker on the back of the laptop. Look for Model number nad that is you actual Laptop Model Number.
