  1. Cannot detect specific WiFi - Please help! Urgent!


    I'm sorry if this has been asked before but my computer cannot detect my WiFi connection but it can detect others such as my neighbours etc. It is the only device in the house that cannot detect the WiFi so the problem definitely lies with my computer/OS.

    Is there a common solution to this problem? I've tried disabling all firewalls and that's not worked. The troubleshooter can't detect any problems. I also bought a WiFi extender which worked via an ethernet cable for a bit but now that can't detect the WiFi either.

    Please help, I'm lost! Cannot detect specific WiFi - Please help! Urgent! :(

    Qualcomm atheros qca9565 no wifi!!! Urgent help needed.


    After clean installation and installing all the proper drivers no matter what I do, I CANNOT TURN MY WIFI ON!!! Please I need urgent help! I just don't know what the problem is! I've tried the vpn solution, tried upgrading from windows 7 and 8.1 both. Nothing works. Absolutely no solution I could find! cannot turn the wifi on through my hp laptop network button which is f12 it just turns on airplane mode and off. Bluetooth is working. But for some reason the wifi is not turning on! I've upgraded everything through windows update and drivers! No luck! No matter how I try the wifi does not turn on! cannot turn it on by clicking the tray icon, neither from action center, neither from system settings and also disabling and renabling the adapter does not work! What should I do? I need urgent help!

    Ethernet Cable not detected by both WiFi router and LAN Switch

    glad that help. but too sad. i could understand that wires must be buried or something. i suggest changing socket first. could be lan sockets.

    WiFi Detection disappeared and Can't get on internet? Possible help.


    Hi all

    I notice a lot of forum angst about the sudden disappearance of the list of WiFi hotspots detected (right-hand side of taskbar) and so inability to connect with the internet.

    Being - literally - a gumby, I don't know the terms for various things so I hope folk know what I'm talking about. I'm calling the little "WiFi" icon (on the taskbar, lower right) the "WiFi Manager" - if anyone would mind responding with its correct title, I'd be grateful.

    OK - My story. I suddenly got booted off the internet last night, and when I tried to reconnect, found the box usually containing the list of detected hotspots was totally empty! AND, only the "AirplaneMode" button was at the bottom of that. After the usual panic and hoping lots of rebooting would fix something, I right clicked on the "WiFi Manager" icon - now a box with a red cross on it. Nothing. I'm not very observant, but here's a list of what I think I did to get my internet connection back. Maybe it'll help some folk. Certainly not all. Sorry:

    1. Open "Control Panel"
    2. Left click "Network and Internet"
    3. Left click "Network and Sharing Center"
    4. Look down to "Change your networking settings"
    5. Left click "Troubleshoot problems"
    6. Page should read: "Troubleshoot problems - Network and Internet"
    7. Under "Network" - top half ...
    8. Left click on "Internet Connections" ("Find and fix problems with connecting to the Internet or to websites")

    9. I'm pretty sure a box popped up with two discoveries, one of which (with an Administrator icon next to it) read to the effect that "Wifi detection was disabled - need to enable it as administrator" (or words to that effect).

    10. I left clicked on the link that invited fixing as an administrator and, after (maybe) another popup with a progress bar counted the seconds, it declared the issue had been fixed.

    11. I can't remember whether I restarted the computer or not but I got WiFi detection back and so got back online.

    Again, sorry it's so vague, but hope it helps someone,

    Cheers
