Why cant I find the wifi switch on my Lenovo G50 anywhere?

[Daniel322]

I cant connect to the wifi anywhere. I don't see the Wifi switch in the network settings. I have Windows 8 btw. All I see at the top of the netork list is "view connection settings." I cant connect to any wifi without an Ethernet cable. its annoying!

Try this...

When WiFi won't connect.

First, make sure your laptop is 'not' connected to the modem/router via an Ethernet cable and follow the steps:

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 windows and scan for the "Wi-Fi networks".

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

7. It takes a moment, but then you will be asked to give a password for your Wi-Fi 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.
