i've tried changimg literally all the settings there were, using a system restore point and resetting my net card (is that a word? sorry, i suck at english.) but it gave me nothing. sometimes i hate this piece of utter garbage.
Hi dogcore.
Do you see the wifi icon in notification area?
I assume it has yellow asterisk over it.
Go to device manager and check if drivers are properly installed.
Rollback driver if there is yellow sign on wifi icon and install a fresh copy of it.
Please confirm Wifi has worked on this laptop... and if so, until when?
Click the Action Centre icon (bottom rt) and check Wifi and Flight Mode/Airplane Mode are as shown:
Once you are sure you have a valid driver installed as above, then
right click the icon, click Troubleshoot, and post the result.
Then right click the icon, click Open Network... and post a screenshot of the result.
This could cause all manner of problems...! I remember my elderly mother's technique... press all the buttons on the microwave or TV remote control in the hope it would do what she wanted.i've tried changimg literally all the settings there were,
my wi-fi is working perfectly on my phone and console, but my piece of junk laptop doesn't see any wi-fi networks whatsoever. all that i get is this icon with a red X, a monitor, and a cable. also, using ethernet cables is out of question.
Your "My Computer" shows no useful information about the computer, fill in the information.
Be sure you have Wireless/Wi-Fi turned on, usually a switch somewhere on the Notebook/Laptop or maybe an Fn key + another key that does it. The hardware has to work before Windows or other Operating System even 'sees' it.
airplane mode is greyed out, selrcting wi-fi gives me nothing (i mean, the wi-fi window pops up, but there are no networks at all)
yes, wifi has worked
it was functional until i got a bsod yesterday and restarted my laptop
and yes, i've tried FN+F2
Confirm you have a valid driver (Device Management) then as above please
right click the icon, click Troubleshoot, and post the result.
Then right click the icon, click Open Network... and post a screenshot of the result.
Have a look at your Reliability History - there should be a red X corresponding to your BSOD. Explore that- what does it say?
i'm afraid i can't post a screenshot, for a bunch of reasons:
1.my laptop is entirely in polish
2.i'd have to use a micro usb, and i don't even know where it is
troubleshooting says it may be a problem with the wi-fi card, and the network & internet settings just say i've got no connection with any network
the reliability monitor says.. well, i'm a little confused. i don't really know what's important info and what isn't, and even then i'll probably have a hard time trying to translate it
