Windows 10: My laptop’s wifi keeps getting turned off

My laptop’s wifi has been turning off whenever I turn off my laptop. So if I turn off my laptop while it has wifi, and then turn it back on, the wifi will be off. When I check the “Network” to turn the wifi back on, there are no wifi options. The wifi only comes back when I do a network reset, but I don’t want to have to restart my computer every time I turn it on.

Windows 10 wifi not turning on Acer Aspire laptop

In order to get the list of available wireless networks, you have to:

1. Switch on Connect to suggested open hotspots (see the screenshot in question);
   
2. Click on Wifi icon in the right corner. Now you have your networks back.
   

After that the parameter from Step 1 can be turned off, networks will be listed normally after restarting Wifi.

P.S. I feel rather stupid at the moment. I thought that open hotspots are passwordless hotspots and so are presumably not very safe. So of course I've turned that off during installation.
Really hard to see any logic in this case.

 

High Ping when i Turn on the wifi of my laptop

Can you please provide more information?

• What make/model of router do you have?
• Is it on the latest firmware?
• If you don't know how to do something with your router, please refer to the user's manual or provide us more information about it so we can assist you better.

• What make/model of laptops do you have?
• Is the laptop that causes the high latency of the wireless connection much older than the other devices?
• Have you scanned the device for malware to make sure it isn't causing any kind of attack inside or outside of your network? (I recommend MalwareBytes AntiMalware Free from Ninite.com)

• What are you pinging when you're monitoring this issue? Google? Your gateway/router?

High latency in a wireless envirnoment like this one I would assume it is either something overloading from a malicious attack, an old device using a narrower bandwidth causing the router to have to change its channel scopes and having issues doing so (firmware bug), or the router being overloaded trying to manage all the requests over wireless (cheaper home-grade routers can fall flat on their face if too many devices connect to their wireless network(s))...there are other things like channel interference that @remixedcat refers to that are absolutely worth looking into.

Acrylic WiFi is an excellent program. Run it for about 15 minutes, then use Snip to take a screenshot of it (Google: Now to use Microsoft Snip, if you've never used it). You can attach images to a new post or upload them to Techpowerup.org and past the IMG code in your post.

Hope this helps get you going in the right direction!

cannot turn on wifi on acer laptop

Laptop model: Acer Aspire A515-51-59DP

Here's what I've done so far:

1. Settings > WiFi Settings > Turn On WiFi (it shows as off). That switches the toggle, but never turns on. If I reload the WiFi settings, it shows as off again.
   
2. It does have a keyboard shortcut to enable/disable WiFi (Fn + F3), but that does nothing at all. (the other F-key hotkeys work). This machine does not have a hardware switch for WiFi.
   
3. Reinstalled WiFi driver.
   
4. Replaced WiFi card, installed drivers.
   
5. Disabled power management (don't allow Windows to turn off wireless)
   
6. Found a couple posts that said with Intel cards to disable 40hz. Now explicit setting for that here, but found one similar and changing it did nothing.
   
7. I don't see anything in the BIOS for enabling/disabling it.
   
8. Restarted machine multiple times. Also pulled battery and cord and held power for 30 seconds.
   

Any suggestions?
