  1. I keep having to uninstall and reinstall my wireless network adaptor to see my home wifi...


    After my Lenovo Ideapad 320 was forced to "upgrade" from windows 10 to windows 11, my home wifi network disappears from my connection options. After reading a lot of articles, I figured out that I could uninstall my wireless network adapter and its driver from device manager and then reboot my laptop. Then I can see and connect to my wifi router just fine. Until it disappears again at random times at which point I have to repeat the process. Is there a fix or something that will stick so that I don't have to keep uninstalling and reinstalling my adaptor and driver ???

    :)

    No Wifi after Windows 10 update from 8.1. "No Internet, secured" and "Problem with wireless adaptor or access point"

    Hello,

    I have an Acer Predator G3-605 pc and the Qualcomm Atheros AR5BWB222 adaptor. After upgrading to windows 10 I am getting no internet.

    I have tried:

    • Uninstalling the wireless adaptor and reinstalling with the latest driver and rebooting
    • Clean booting Windows
    • Connecting to multiple wifi networks which have different routers and configurations

    I can connect to some wireless networks but I get the message "No Internet, secured". The networks are working fine for multiple other devices, so that isn't the issue.

    When I run the diagnostic tool, I get the two following issues:

    • "Problem with wireless adaptor or access point"
    • ""Wi-Fi" doesn't have a valid IP configuration"
    Any help would be appreciated, I don't know what else to try.

    Wireless adaptor needs constant resetting

    Neither option works for me either. I have the latest wireless adaptor drivers installed. I have run Network Adaptor troubleshooter, and when my adaptor is connected, it sates that the wireless adaptor is running fine with no problems. If my Wifi adaptor
    is not connected (which often is the case) the troubleshooter manages to find the issue, reset the wireless adaptor, and it works again. However this is the issue. I should not have to continuously run this troubleshooter every time I wish to connect to
    internet via the wifi adaptor.

    My computer is an HP Envy DV6 with 3rd gen Intel core i7 processor, 8 gb RAM.

    Any suggestions??
