I'm trying to go to device manager, and i see that this driver software is uptodate.
I try disable my windows firewall, unistall avast antivirus and it still says no internet access.

Hi,

Please do try these troubleshooting steps that may help in solving the issue.

- Next is to download and install the latest wifi adapter from ASUS Support site.
- Once installed reboot your laptop for all the changes to take effect.
