Try this....

1. Go to "Control Panel".

2. Next go to "Network and Internet" and then "Network and Sharing".

3. Now click on "Manage Wireless Networks".

4. On this screen, remove all wireless connections by "right clicking" on it and select "Remove network" from the drop down menu.

5. After doing this, close the open windows and reboot the computer.

6. Once the computer is fully reloaded, scan for the "WiFi networks".

7. Click on the available network that you want to access and select "connect".

8. It takes a moment, but then you will be asked to give a password for your WiFi connection. Type in the password and click the "connect" button.

It should now be connected.

NOTE: If this doesn't work, you may want to reset your modem/router, and then once it is fully loaded again, repeat the above steps.

If the above or below doesn't allow the WiFi to work, but the Ethernet does, then your WiFi card may be going. You can either look to replace it/have it replaced, or get an external (plugs in via USB) WiFi card.


Another way to try it is to...

1. Go to "Settings".
2. Click on "Network & Security" and then click on "WiFi".
3. Now click "Manage known networks".
4. Select the WiFi connection you want to remove.
5. Click the "Forget" button.
6. After doing this, close the open windows and reboot the computer.
7. Once the computer is fully reloaded again go to "Settings".
8. Click on "Network & Security" and then click on "WiFi".
9. Now click "Manage known networks".
10. Click "Add a new network" and enter the network name.
11. Using the drop-down menu, select the "network security type".
12. Check the "Connect automatically" option.
13. Now check the "Connect even if the network is not broadcasting" option and click "Save".

Once you have completed these steps, whenever the device is within range of that particular network, it should automatically connect to it.


Also, you might want to check that both your modem/router doesn't have a limitation on how many devices can be connected at once (they do have that option in most cases) and also your ISP. Some of them limit the number of devices.

Hi all,
I recently had an issue with a new Asus laptop where the drive completely filled and a program was still trying to download. Windows 10 was stuck in a crash loop. I tried to put it in airplane mode to stop the download. After a reboot I was able to move some files to an external drive.

BUT, after reboot using fn&f2 to turn off airplane mode my wifi hardware (&bluetooth) was missing in device manager. Tried removing all network items in device manager but all that came back were the miniports, still no hardware. I thought the wireless card had somehow died. Being that there is no way to reseat the card I went looking in bios (hold f2 during boot) I found a setting for network stack enabling this did nothing and I now know this is just for network boot.

HOWEVER, after a little more digging (after changing to advanced mode) I found in the bios a setting for I/O security. In there I found a wireless security setting and it was set to OFF. I turned it on and saw a message that the wireless radio would be unavailable. I saved and rebooted. I immediately held f2 again and went back in and turn the setting back to OFF, saved and rebooted again.
VIOLA as widows booted again I could see the wireless adapter. Hope this helps anyone with the issue of wireless adapter not being found on the system.
