Windows 10: Two HP laptops affected by wifi connection issues & BSoD

Hello everyone, We're facing a rather strange situation. 1 Yesterday I started to have wifi connection problems with my HP spectre, had to troubleshoot over and over again or it wouldn't display any wifi network. 2 It was later followed by frequent blue screen of death Bsod, and I decided today to go for a factory reset & réinstallation, but it actually didn't solve the issue : still wifi issues + bsod with the following errors: watchdog violation or driver irql_less_or_not_equal. 3 I learned earlier today that a colleague brought a new laptop yesterday to the office, another HP model

Issue with Wifi connectivity in HP n-209tx laptop

Hello,

I do have Hp pavilion n-209tx laptop with Windows 8.1 operating system. I am facing trouble with wifi connectivity. It is working properly with LAN connection.

The below are the problem with wifi connection:

• Not listing the wifi with actual names (showing different wifi names which are not available in my locality).
• Only listing 1 or 2 wifi names and even that too with different unknown names.

I am struggling from a long and tried most of the possibilities but did not get any positive results.

The possibilities which I tried are listed below:

• Uninstall wifi drivers ( I uninstalled wifi driver and after restart, again it is listed in the wifi driver list without any installations)
• Factory reset has been done with deletion of all the files.
• Command prompt configurations.

I am early waiting for the route cause of this issue and it is extremely strange issue as per my idea. I consulted most of my friends and did not get any idea about this strange issue.

Kindly help me friends if you have any idea!

Thank you very much for your help in advance

Regards,

Krishna

 

Laptop loses wifi connection and often is difficult to connect.

My HP laptop running windows Ten has developed and annoying habit of losing the wifi connection. Often times it will not reconnect or it takes multiple attempts to get it connected. Many times, I can be right next to the router or to the personal hot spot and it will still not connect.
Many times rebooting will allow me to reconnect, but it is happening multiple times in a day. Any suggestions?

 

HP 15-ay513tx laptop "Connected, No Internet" on hotspot..

Hello,

I own a Dell Latitude 5430 and an HP 15-ay513tx. I often have to use my mobile's wifi hotspot to access internet on the go.

I notice that I am able to access the internet fine on the Dell laptop. However, the HP one is a peculiar case.

The HP Case:

So, on the HP, the internet works fine as long as I'm viewing my lecture videos (which happen to be MPEG-TS segmented videos with AES encryption).

However, if I view even a 10 minute long video on youtube, this is what has been occuring since the last 2-3 months:

1. 2-3 minutes into the youtube video, the network icon starts showing the yellow exclamation mark. If I click on it, then for my wifi network, it says "Connected, No Internet". And I can no longer access the internet on laptop unless I:
   1. disable the network adapter, and re-enable it;
   2. reset the network stack (requiring restart); or,
   3. restart the system.
2. However, if at this very point in time, I am able to browse the internet on my mobile's browser just fine!

So there are a couple of perplexing issues for me...

1. the internet works fine on the mobile's browser, but not on the laptop's browser connected to that very mobile's wifi hotspot.
2. Also, on the the laptop, internet works fine as long as I'm browsing regular pages (like while navigating to and typing this post) or when viewing the MPEG-TS lecture videos (which have never been less than 2 hours long). However, if I view a youtube video, I face this "Connected, No Internet" issue.

I have tried the following couple of things to no avail:

1. I tried assigning DNSs (such as Google DNS and 1.1.1.1) in the IPv4 and the IPv6 files of my network adapter properties. This didn't help.
2. Turning off the hotspot, re-enabling it and then connecting the laptop back to it.
3. Turning the hotspot as well as mobile data off, re-enabling both of them and then connecting the laptop back to it.
4. Using another mobile's hotspot. Even on the other mobile's hotspot, I face the same issue.
5. Disabling the wifi adapter from Device manager and then re-enabling it didn't solve the issue either.

Dell system specifications: https://www.dell.com/downloads/globa...spec_sheet.pdf (the i5 variant)

One of the suspects could be that one time, I had tried using the built-in Hyper-V Virtual Machine feature on my HP laptop. Since then, the number of network adapters has increased as per the following screenshot:




Also, since then, even while using my wifi hotspot, I don't get the usual wifi icon in the system tray. Instead, I get an ethernet-like icon:




Both my laptops (the Dell one as well as the HP one) are running Windows 10 1607 (OS Build 14393.953).

One of my constraints is that I cannot try updating my windows because of approaching exams.

Any suggestions which can help me fix this issue without a windows update?

[Update:] I just noticed that all this while, I had ignored that actual Realtek Wifi adapter in the control panel... I had tried disabling and re-enabling the Hyper-V adapter.. *Busted

So disabling and re-anabling the actual Realtek Wifi adapter does restore the wifi to normal. But it's a real hassle because video streams often aren't resuming when I reconnect to the mobile's hotspot. I have to reload the entire webpage and navigate to the timestamp to resume my videos.

Any solution which can help me solve this hassle?
