network connection in settings (not properly working)

Hi Gary,

Thank you for letting us know of your concern.

The most common explanation about this issue of yours is that the network drivers need to be updated. We suggest updating your network adapter driver including the Wireless adapter drivers so that the icons re-appear on the setting menu.

To do this, on the search bar type "Device Manager". Once the Device Manager window appears, find the network adapter section>Choose the network driver and right-click to properties>click the Drive tab>Click Update drivers.

Do the same to the Wireless adapter.

Let us know if you need additional assistance.

 

I can't see both wifi connection on home network.

Thanks.

Apparently, there is an issue was the Qualcomm Atheros AR956x wireless network adapter. The driver needs to be updated.

 

There may not be a Win10-specific driver for that device yet. Try installing the Win8 driver.

 

Thank you. I will try to download and install it. Although I thought you're supposed to install a driver that is exactly the same with your model name and OS and everything?

 

When the OS is new like 10, the most recent with the same type architecture usually functions. When Win7 was brand new, we used a lot of Vista drivers for it.

I got that driver from a search on your hardware model. It may not always be listed as the exact same model as you have, because the driver will cover a family of devices, rather than a single device. (Wifi adapters are very common to be like this.)
