Posted August 26, 2023 Hi WiFi just stopped working from one moment to the other, I've resetted my router twice already and no luck. It's a fairly new laptop, purchased 2 weeks ago. It doesn't show any available networks, on my other notebook it shows 2 networks and on my phone 3. Any suggestions what to do? I am about to reinstall Windows if that doesn't work I will be out of options. I know that my 2nd laptop has 2 small wifi cables that are rather delicate, idk about this one but maybe it also has 2 cables and they got lose somehow. But I think that is highly unlikely and I would probably void warranty if I unscrew the back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted August 26, 2023 Author Well, now it works again, I didn't do anything. But it's not the first time this has happened, I wonder what the issue is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted August 26, 2023 It can be driver related. But a problem that most laptop users overlook is the possibility to turn off and on the wifi via a combination of keys (Fn+F2 for example). Most laptops have a little led indicator but it can easily be overlooked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted August 26, 2023 You are correct. However, in most laptops I recently used with Windows 10, the "airplane mode" message appear... Not English-speaking person, sorry, I'll make mistakes.

So I had this issue once before the driver auto downloaded a Bad patch update, I used windows internal fix things. So when it drops out again go to troubleshoot issue by right clicking where the wifi should be, it usually flags the issue up and then allows a repair. Granted this was on a windows 8.1 laptop but hopefully it fixes your issue. I'd advise against pulling apart your PC until you've ruled out software as the issue and if you still have warranty then send it in don't pull apart yourself as you may bork up more than just your wifi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
