Windows 10: Windows is still setting up the class configuration for this device. (wifi card)

My Wi-Fi card on my surface pro 4 suddenly stopped with connecting to wireless networks, and when checking device manager, the message in the title pops up. There is no vpn (the closest being VMWare which i disabled already) and I’m not sure if I should take this to the Microsoft store for further queries.

WiFi IP Configuration

OK Charlie...I'm back.

A 20-min u-tube video by Britec took me through the following steps:

• Windows Network Diagnostics: Not Fixed...problem with wireless adapter or access point; "wifi" doesn't have a valid IP configuration

• Network Reset

• Network Adapters:
  • 1) update driver Intel(R) Centrino(R) Advanced-N 6235 version 15.16.0.2.
  • 2) enable/disable driver
  • 3) uninstall driver
  • 4) roll back driver
  • 5) re-updated driver

One note of interest to me was I got sidetracked into the events log and noticed the following...

• Series of events on 13-JUN (I'm wondering if this might be from last time Microsoft pushed a version update???)
  
  • Device install requested
  • device migrated
  • device configured (netwew01.inf)
  • device installed (netwew01.inf_amd6..........)
  • device started (NETwNe64)
• Similar series of events occurring several times in the past few days (I believe resulting from troubleshooting activities)
  • device configured (netwew01.inf)
  • device installed (netwew00.inf_amd6.......)
  • device not started (NETwNe64)
• Similar series of events today (activities from Britec video)
  • device deleted
  • device install requested
  • device not migrated
  • device configured
  • device started
• Similar series of events today
  
  • device not migrated
  • device configured (oem66.inf)
  • device not started
  • device installed
  • device not migrated
  • device configured
  • device not started
  • device installed

So there was one series two days ago where the device didn't start and the last series today it appears to have configured a different .inf device

• Restart in Safe Mode

• Confirm WLAN Auto Config was in Running Mode

• Command Prompts to:
  • Reset Winsock
  • Reset IP Release
  • Review & Flush DN

• Fn Wi-Fi Key on

After all this Britec said if Wi-Fi still wasn't working that there must be something really sinister in the programming or else a hardware failure (most likely Wi-Fi card)

I'm still baffled by the fitbit thing affecting only one connection at a time (home then apartment) and then the guest network at work (without any fitbit thing going on)?

Unless you have any other ideas, I'm ready to cry Uncle and take it to the Geek Squad and get a new wifi card.

Appreciate any feedback you have to offer

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

Hi Guys,

Would you please suggest Portable small WiFi Storage device with Maximum WiFi range ?

The smallest I know is this





Is there anything better than this which has maximum Wifi range? For example can it play movie from 30 meter distance ? From other room ?
