HP Pavilion Help!!!

[toxicops]

My pc won't connect to the internet. I just got this from a friend and I reset it back to its factory settings, tried tinkering with cmd, control panel, device manager, network adaptors, etc. I even tried reinstalling the drivers. I don't know why I can't connect to internet. The problem isn't with my router I don't think because I can connect to it, I just can't get Wi-Fi. Also the wifi works on all my other devices so idk. Someone please help

It keeps saying, "No internet secured" or "Cant connect to this network"

Hi! @toxicops, Welcome to HP forums.

I understand you have wireless connection issues with your PC.

Don't worry I'm here to help you out.

Did you make any software or hardware changes on your PC?

Are the wireless drivers listed in device manager?

Have you tried checking with a different battery or adapter?

As you mentioned you have issues connecting to the internet and you are getting error can't connect to this network error on your PC.

Try updating the BIOS on your PC and check if it helps.

Please find the link to update the BIOS. Link: http://hp.care/2G5H2lB

Also, try uninstalling the wireless drivers from device manager and install the latest drivers from the link below.

Click “Change advanced power settings”.
In the Power Options box, click the + next to “Wireless Adapter Settings” to expand it.

On the right-hand side change the drop down to Enabled.
The  following steps are optional but may help:

Select Wireless mode.
On the right-hand side change the drop-down menu to “IEEE 802.11b/g”.
Click OK.

Manually change network settings

Manually changing the network settings can resolve wireless connection issues. Create a restore point in Windows, and then manually change the network settings.
Using the search box on the taskbar, search for and open Create a restore point.
The System Properties window displays.
Click Create.
Type a name for the restore point, and then click Create.
Windows creates the restore point.
Using the search box on the taskbar, search for Command Prompt. In the results list, right-click Command Prompt, and then click Run as administrator.
If a User Account Control screen displays asking if you want to allow the app to make changes to your computer, click Yes.

Type the following commands one at a time, pressing Enter after each one.

ipconfig/flushdns
nbtstat -R
nbtstat -RR
netsh int ip reset c:\resetlog.txt
netsh winsock reset
netsh int tcp set heuristics disabled
netsh int tcp set global autotuninglevel=disabled
netsh int tcp set global rss=enabled
To open the TCP Global Settings, type netsh int tcp show global in Command Prompt and then press Enter.
Make sure all settings are disabled except Receive-Side Scaling State.
Close Command Prompt, reboot the system and then try to connect to the Internet.
