Windows 10 laptop won't connect to Wi-Fi

[RubberyDuckery]

My ASUS R515MA laptop recently stopped connecting to Wi-Fi and demands I connect to ethernet. I have tried updating drivers but it didn't do anything. Please help.

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 "Wi-Fi 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 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.

If this doesn't work, test seeing if your laptop will connect via Ethernet. If so, 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.

Had the EXACT SAME problem. How did I fix it? VERY simple.


CONTROL PANAL>
NETWORK AND INTERNET>
NETWORK AND SHARING>
CHANGE ADAPTER SETTINGS>
(Just right click on WIFI, click DISABLE, right click on WIFI once again, and then click ENABLE)
After I did that, it automatically connected to my network again. Very simple solution. Glad to be of assistance.

Restart your computer and hold down both fn+f2 at the same time, until the comp starts up... you may have to do this a number of times but it worked for me
