I checked to see if it was updated and it was then I went to uninstall it to reinstall it later, but I can’t install it without wifi. What should i do?

  2. USB Wireless adapter not connecting to Wifi

    Hello

    I am having trouble making my new USB Wifi Adapter to work. The drivers are working fine but the issue is it is not connecting to wifi.

    1. I am using Windows 10
    2. The adapter which I am trying to work is Alfa AWUS036NHA 150Mbps
    3. I have also one USB mini wifi adapter attached to my other USB through which I am currently using internet

    From the above screenshot, the Wi-Fi 2 is which I am trying to connect. When I right-click on Wi-Fi 2 and click on Connect/Disconnect, It shows the already connected Wifi through USB mini adapter.

    When I Disable WiFi and try to connect through WiFi 2 then it shows an error "Change settings, such as making a connection metered"

    The device utility does not show any Wifi available connections though there are 2-3 wifi connection is there.

    get a USB WiFi Adapter and disable the onboard unit, if you have direct tv with a wireless transmitter that can cause interference, even apple tv can

    Wifi settings are missing

    Hello,

    My Wifi settings are missing. I tried the steps as given in: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi connection on your Surface - Microsoft Supportbut
    that didn't solve the issue.

    Here some details:

    • Windows 10 home / 1709 / 16299.125
    • I installed all Windows udpates.
    • In device manager I don't see under networkadapter the Marvell Avastar.
    • The troubleshooter didn't solve the problem.
    • Problem started a week ago, reason is unknown.
    • I don't know which surface I have, or what surface even is.

    Hopefully someone can help me to get the wifi settings back, need internet wireless.
