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!

 

Install a driver for your network adapter

Go to the list of network adapters in the control panel, turn of the lan and turn it on again. See if that helps.
