WiFi Has Disappeared from Network Adapter in Device Manager-No WiFi
Hello,
Thank you in advancefor any help. I am senior who helps other seniors in this small townkeep their pc ‘s operating as best I can.
I have an HP laptopthat was reworked by a shop sometime ago. I updated this pc to WinAnniveresary Issue and then this past Spring to version 1703.
Last week my seniorcalled and said they could no longer get wifi on this pc.
Well I have it hereat home now and they are right. The pc states that no wifi isavailable. And in the Settings-Wireless Devices-”We couldn’t findWindows Devices on this PC.”
And too in “Network
Internet-Network Connections” there is only one icon, and it is forEthernet.
There is no icon for“Wifi.”
Under Device ManagerI find the drive for Ethernet and then 8 WAN Miniport Adapters(IKEV2, IP, IPv6, LZTP, Network Monitor, PPPQE, PPIP, SSTP). Whatthese are and what they all mean I don’t know but they all areworking.
I can plug my USBnetwork adapter into a USB port and can connect-see the wifi with noproblem.
I am trying to saveour senior $ by not having to buy another USB network adapter and getthis pc going on the pc’s wifi.
The F-12 Key has thewifi symbol on it and it is amber I have tried pressing fn + F-12,plus other key combos from Google to turn the wifi icon key blue, butno go so far. Pressing F-12 turns the Airplane mode on and off only.
Do I need to installa win 10 adapter driver for the HP 2000 laptop? I have looked for drivers
but having trouble finding one for win 10 64 bit...get a lot of spam driver sites.
Can you give me sometips or links to try to repair this no wifi icon-no wifi connectionavailable please?
