Network Adapter PROBLEM

Hi,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.

First Verify if the WLAN service is started and set to automatic, if the WLAN service is stopped, I would suggest you to start the service and put it to automatic.

Step 1: Please follow the steps to
start the WLAN service.

• 
  Click on Start, type in services.msc
  and press Enter.
  
• 
  Select WLAN Autoconfig from the list, Right click
  properties.
  
• 
  Change the startup type to Automatic.
  
• 
  Click on Start button.
  
• 
  Click on Apply, Ok.
  

Restart the computer and verify if it works.

Also check if all the dependencies are also running. Try the steps to check Dependencies.

• 
  Right-click on WLAN Autoconfig and select Properties.
  
• 
  Click on Dependencies, you will find all the dependency services under box labeled this service depends on the following system components.
  

Step 2: Run an inbuilt Network troubleshooter.

• 
  Press Windows + X key and select
  Control Panel.
  
• 
  Type troubleshooting and select troubleshooting.
  
• 
  Click on view all on the left pane and select
  Network adapter.
  
• 
  Follow the on-screen steps and check.

Network adapter problem

Hello all,

First post and need help with something please.

The basics- new Asus x509ua machine from January. Sometimes the network adapter is not found by the computer.

This has been happening on and off since I bought the machine. It happened two or three times back in Feb/Mar and just now happened again. The network adapter is not discoverable or found by the computer so I have no internet options. I've been through steps previously of downloading and installing drivers and some other things so have a bit of experience with it. Also sometimes I just fixed itself, where the problem was there and I couldn't solve it, then turned the computer on after two days and the adapter was there. This time there's a different problem.

Turned computer on today, no internet options. Go to device manager, network adapters, the list only shows the 8 WAN miniports, so I click show hidden devices and get the full list including the QualcommAtheros adapter.

I right click on it and uninstalled it, but now I don't know how to reinstall it because I can't see it. I'm hoping it will just magically reappear like it has in the past as I don't know what else to do. This has happened at a really bad time as I'm working from home and need to use the computer.

Would anyone know what I should do? Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!

 

Issues with network adapters

Hi Alfonso,

To resolve this issue, we suggest that you run the Network troubleshooter when you switch from WiFi to Ethernet connection. The Network troubleshooter can help diagnose and fix common connection problems including clearing the network cache to obtain a new
IP from the new network. Kindly follow the steps below:

• In the search box on the taskbar, type Identify and repair network problems, and then select
  Identify and repair network problems from the list of results.
• Follow the steps in the troubleshooter and see if that fixes the problem.

If the issue persists, kindly try the troubleshooting steps on the following link:

Fix network connection issues in Windows 10.

We recommend that you try the steps on the Update the network adapter driver,
Run the Network troubleshooter followed by networking commands, and Use network reset to reinstall network devices sections.

Let us know how it goes for us to assist you further.
