laptop not detecting Wi-Fi (normally after hibernation)

[Tom_nerd]

Hey guys,

 

generally whenever my laptop comes out of hibernation (but can sometimes randomly happen), it shows no Wi-Fi networks to connect to. Would be really useful for any advice, as currently I have to tether my phone, which is a pain.

 

Also, task manager doesnt show a Wi-Fi card when this happens

 

 

Thanks in advance,

Tom

 

 

Edit:

 

I forgot to include the Wi-Fi card:

Have you tried removing the wifi card drivers and reinstall them?

cant u just turn the wifi on and off?  it should find something then... (happens to me sometimes and this works)

Would that work? As it only stops working when something to do with software happens.

i mean you probably tried that, but i mean this

 

simply turning on and off airplane mode would probably work too (done this in the past also)

 

 

well otherwise it's likely a driver issue.

How would I go about fixing that

 

P.S. yes, Ive tried turning it off and on again.
