    Windows 10 wifi not turning on Acer Aspire laptop

    In order to get the list of available wireless networks, you have to:

    1. Switch on Connect to suggested open hotspots (see the screenshot in question);
    2. Click on Wifi icon in the right corner. Now you have your networks back.

    After that the parameter from Step 1 can be turned off, networks will be listed normally after restarting Wifi.

    P.S. I feel rather stupid at the moment. I thought that open hotspots are passwordless hotspots and so are presumably not very safe. So of course I've turned that off during installation.
    Really hard to see any logic in this case.

  3. WiFi turned off issue


    Hello,
    I'm recently experiencing issues with my Dell Inspiron 15 7559. I have an Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 3165 adapter and, ever since yesterday, it stopped working completely. When I click on the wifi button in the taskbar it says the WiFi is "Turned off". However, there's no way to turn it on. Even if I click network settings and click the wifi toggle it instantly goes back to off.
    I tried to go through the troubleshooter and it suggests that the physical switch is off. However i have no physical switch and the only related key I have on my keyboard is for the airplane mode (and is, currently, off).

    I tried to run a Ubuntu Live disk and it gave the same issue: radio hardware off or something similar.

    To make it even weirder, yesterday I had left the laptop alone for an hour or so and when I came back it was working again. But this morning it was off again, and it is not working ever since then. Of course I tried restarting and even restoring from a previous backup, but to no avail.

    Please let me know if you have any suggestions.

    Thanks in advance,
    L

    EDIT: I also tried reinstalling the drivers, both the newest ones from Intel (18.32) and the latest on Dell's website (18.20, IIRC), but nothing changed.
