    This is showing up on my computer. An ethernet cable looks likeva telephone cable but with larger connectors on the ends. Plug this cable into the opening on the back or side of the computer. Make sure the other end of the cable is plugged into the router. If that does not help, try using a different cable.

  2. Wireless icon shows red x and says connected to internet

    Hi Kamil,

    To resolve your concern regarding the red (x) showing on your wireless icon, we suggest that you clear all preferred wireless networks from your network configuration by following the steps below:

    • Click on Windows + I to launch Settings, and then choose
      Network & Internet.
    • Choose the WiFi tab, and then scroll down to find Manage known networks. Click it.
    • You will see a list of old wireless networks. Choose each and click on the
      Forget
      button to delete all of them.
    • Go to Network Connections, and make sure your wireless adapter is enabled by right clicking and selecting
      enable.
    • Make sure your WiFi router is working properly and there’s no network problem with your local area network.

    We would appreciate it if you could get back to us and provide us your feedback.

  3. SSIDs are delayed to showing when clicking the WIFI icon

    Dear MS support team,

    The pilot users for W11 have issues after updating the Wireless Driver

    Computer model: ASUS/P5440FF

    First issue switching from LAN to WIFI and the advised to update the Wireless adapter driver which were performed, and now has new issue with delayed showing the list of available SSIDs.

    And once the SSIDs are showing and clicking again the WIFI icon to close it and click back it will show quickly but if you leaved it not clicking the WIFI icon will happen again the same issue it needs to wait for other user 40 seconds to show the available list of SSIDs.

    I'd advised to roll back the Wireless adapter driver and waiting for the result.

    Question: Is that possible also to install the W10 Wireless adapter driver dedicated for ASUS/P5440FF?

    Kindly let me know what the next steps will I need to try to resolve the issue.

    Best regards

    Tolits

    I have a wireless computer, but my wifi is not showing up.

    "WiFi- Show Available Networks" does not list wireless routers anymore

    Happy New Year!

    I upgraded my Lenovo Z500 Windows 8.1 to Windows 10. I was able to see list of available wifi networks and hotspots for a couple of months. However, after Windows 10's latest patch/update around Dec 20th 2016, my "WiFi- Show Available Networks" does not
    list wireless routers anymore.

    My WIFI still connects to exiting wireless routers that it had been using for past year. However it will not allow me to list wireless networks in new locations such as Starbucks coffee shops. Since windows 10 does not list them, I am not able to connect.

    I bought a USB dongle wireless adapter, but it did not work - Windows 10 still does not show list of available networks. (USB dongle worked on my other Windows 10 laptop {a Lenovo Edge 15} - it displays list of wireless networks).

    I tried to compare Proxy and other settings between this Z500 and my Edge 15 - I do not see any differences except they use different network adaptors.

    I have uninstalled and reinstalled driver from Lenovo for my wireless adapter.

    I have over 20 years experience programming in Windows DOS and VB scripts. I have build windows PC for myself.

    I've tried following steps here:

    https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3084164

    and here:

    Redirecting

    but neither worked for me.

    I don't see registry entry for any VPN

    I've turned off Norton firewall and even uninstalled all anti virus software - still faced same issue.

    I'm ready to switch to Apple Mac!!

    Any other ideas?
