  1. Wireless Adapter Not Connected.


    Hey guys, so I'm on my MSI laptop, turned it on today and it basically told me I have no wireless adapter. I'm going to attach screenshots of everything I can to try and help with this, any help would be appreciated.

    Killer Wireless Wifi Adapter showing up but hidden:

    Windows states the hardware isn't connected:

    I also ran Killer diagnostics and it came up with this:
    Wireless Network Information:There is no wireless interface on the system

    Is this just my hardware failing or is there something else I can do?

    :)

    Wireless Adapter Not Connected

    In Device manager, Network adapter, Power Management, is Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power?

  3. Wireless Adapter Not Connected

    I can connect again, but I'm not sure why; I booted it this morning and the adapter was working again. The problem was that the wireless adapter wasn't even listed on device manager (there were plenty of devices under network, just not the wireless adapter).
    I checked the properties just now and unchecked 'allow the computer to turn off this device to conserve power', but it was working and on before that.

    Wireless Adapter Not Connected.

    Hello and welcome to TenForums *Smile

    Most likely this is due to the wireless adapter being turned off for some reason. The laptop BIOS might have been affected and the setting to turn on the wireless adaptor has been changed or you might even have accidentally changed a switch on the front or side of the laptop that activates the wireless.
