    Wifi doesn't work anymore after using mbr2gpt


    It's gone! WiFi doesn't work anymore! After using MBR2GPT, it just won't work anymore.

    A log from a game says that NameResolutionFailure shows up when checking from updates.

    Asus K52F

    To collect IP configuration information easily, do the following:

    Open a Elevated Command Prompt:

    Press Win key, type cmd. Right click on cmd.exe at top left and select Run as Administrator.

    Paste the following into the Command Prompt window, exactly as shown, including double quotes:

    cmd /c "ipconfig /all > postme.txt & ping yahoo.com >> postme.txt & reg query "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings" | find /i "proxy" >> postme.txt & notepad postme.txt & del postme.txt"

    and press ENTER.

    A file will open in Notepad. Please copy and paste the contents here. Please don't redact anything as there is nothing in there that is a security breach. Close the Notepad window and the file will be deleted and the Command Prompt window will also close. Post results in a reply here (copy & paste).

    Definitely no network connection: Autoconfiguration IPv4 Address. . : 169.254.107.110(Preferred)

    What does Device Manager show you for Network Connections? Something like this:

    Wifi doesn't work anymore after using mbr2gpt-image.png

    I don't have WiFI on my Desktop at the moment. What does yours look like?

    I can't take a screenshot of it, but it shows my WiFi driver, which is Intel WiMax. And some VMWare network stuff.

    UPDATE: I tried network reset, but nothing changed. I need internet for online school.

    Short answer :
    You have to set your Wifi Adapter (The Intel(R) Centrino(R) Advanced-N 6250 AGN) to automatically acquire its IP address using router's DHCP , this is accessible via right clicking your adapter then properties then :

    Long answer :
    You have
    DHCP Enabled. . . . . . . . . . . : No

    Marking that you have manually entered the IP address you are using , and if it is not compatible with router's Gateway address (Which is why is appearing as an empty value since the card failed to connect via such assigned IP)
    which I am sure it isn't (Since it starts by 169 instead of 192) and since I am sure no one enabled DMZ for you nor turned off DHCP on your router as these are usually businesses/geeks setups (Where if the case is that I suggest you contact the technical support of your ISP to guide you through your router and Wifi LAN setups) which leaves us with the obvious .

    You have to set your Wifi Adapter (The
    Intel(R) Centrino(R) Advanced-N 6250 AGN) to automatically acquire its IP address using router's DHCP , this is accessible via right clicking your adapter then properties then :

    I can't find WiFi properties. But a quick flaw I found, everytime I open the Network part of the settings, it just closes.

    Use screenshots for reference. Thanks!
