wireless driver - media disconnected problem - I think!

Hi,

For the last week I have not been able to get wireless access to my pc. I have intel centrino wireless adapter and this and the microsoft wifi direct virtual adapter keep showing 'media disconnected'

I have updated the intel driver - I initially lost the 'media disconnected' but still couldn't connect wirelessly but now I'm back to the 'media disconnected' message.

I've tried various suggested solutions without success.

Initially the troubleshooter gave 'missing protocol' message now it's given up and says it can't identify the problem.

Any suggestions would be very welcome and I'm getting very frustrated and have wasted a lot of hours trying to sort it. It's a pain having to use the ethernet cable all the time (that works fine).

Thanks

Alison

 

Media Disconnected

So I uninstalled my ethernet driver in my device manager and a website said the driver was supposed to redownload once my laptop restarted but it still hasnt shown up in my device manager. I originally uninstalled it because I had an ethernet connection
the whole year and then it just stopped working. Now I am not able to get an ethernet connection even when it is plugged in. My laptop is still on wifi but it is running unusually slow and takes a while to load simple websites.

IP configuration not valid - interference from ethernet adapter?

Solution 1: No Internet Access In Windows 8.1or Windows 10

Step 1:

Go to Device Manager → Network adapters.
Step 2:

Expand it (Network adapters).


Step 3:

Select your network adapter


Step 4:

Right click on your wireless network adapter or Ethernet adapter and then tap “Update Driver Software”.
(in this case your network adopter is Ethernet adopter so tap your Ethernet adapter)
Step 5:

Now on a new window you will need to click on “Browse my computer for driver software”.




Step 6:

Then select “Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer”.



Step 7:

Now choose the “Manufacturer’s drivers” from the list of two and then click next.



Step 8:

After the completion of the process just restart your PC and check if the problem is solved or not. If not, goto solution 2.



Solution 2: No Internet Access In Windows 8.1,windows10

Step 1:

Open command prompt.
Step 2:

Just go on hitting the enter after typing the each command.
netsh int tcp set heuristics disabled
netsh int tcp set global autotuninglevel=disable
netsh int tcp set global rss=enabled
Step 3:

Now to check if the settings are disabled type:
netsh int tcp show global
then hit enter.
Step 4:

Now the thing left is just rebooting your system and just check if the problem is solved or not and just give feedback.*chuckle*Thumbs
