Windows 10: Wireless capability is turned off

Hi


my dell Vostro 3546 laptop with windows 10 is having trouble with its witeless connectivity.


The wife toggle button is turning off on its own in few minutes every time i turn it on and it doesnt show the available networks after i turn it on.

i have tried all the troubleshootings but still no luck. I had unchecked the option in the power management section from the device manager menu. Ran multiple troubleshoots as well.

also in all the videos and microsoft community answers for questions with similar issues i find that theybhave been asked to go to the windows mobility Center from the control panel, and then turn the wifi on from there. However my wifi connection isnt showing up or rather to rephrase, the option of wifi connection is not present in the windows mobility center.


Kindly advice on how to solve this.



thanks

Wireless capability won't turn on

Thanks to you all for your suggestions but none of them solved my problem. To make matters worse I learned at Toshiba's website that my Satellite A665 is not listed as Windows 10 ready device.

Fortunately I also found an answer to my problem, and that was to turn on the wireless capability using the software switch: TBSWireless.exe located in the Program Files/Toshiba/TBS directory.

Now I plan to go back to my Windows Home Premium.

I am only speculating as i don`t know what type of Setup ( External Modem / Router you have and if its Wireless capable ).

As to your Computers WiFi Modem.

You should see a Network Access Icon in the bottom Right Hand Side of you Task Bar. on your screen.

Hover your Mouse over it or Right Click on it to see what options you are given.

It should show a list of Networks Available.

In this list it should show the External Modem / Router what you are trying to connect to. ( Make sure its WiFi is Enabled or it wont show up in the list ).

If it is in the list select it and click Connect.

You may be asked for some other details such as WiFi Password or MAC Address or some form of Identifier which is usually supplied with External Modem / Router which you may have to enter manually to connect the two.

The external Modem / Router that you are trying to connect to usually come with a small Card with the WiFi Details such as WiFi Name / Provider / WiFi Password and some other documentation on connections.

Not sure if this helps.
