No Wireless Connection

[Dylan44]

A couple months ago, my HP ENVY 23 All-In-One stopped connecting to wifi. It is currently running windows 10. It is currently able to run a connection via ethernet. There is no option that shows up for connecting to wifi. The only options provided are ethernet, VPN, and a broadband connection. Under the network and internet settings, there is not even an option for wifi. The displayed options are :

Status

Ehternet

Dial-up

VPN

Data Usage 

Proxy

I have tried restarting the router, (which works fine with all other deviced in the house), tried restarting the computer, neither of which worked. The HP website said that the computer of keyboard may have a button on it for internet connectivity (mine does not have any such button.) 

I also tried the suggested route of device manager > network network adapters, trying to see if any drivers needed to be updated. They are all up to date. My router does not show up at all on here, so that solution didn't work for me.

I've looked through several of these forums and through the HP website, and found no help yet. Thank you for any responses, and I look foreward to hearing from you

Hi

Make, Model and OS please.

Is it one of these?

You may be missing a WiFi button driver?

[Dylan44]

I'm not sure what a wifi button driver is. My computer model is: HP ENVY 23 TouchSmart All-in-One Desktop PC (ENERGY STAR). It is running windows 10 HOME with version 1803

Hi

So it might be, but there are a dozen or so different AIO models sold in several countries, not excluding England.

[Dylan44]

Thanks for the quick response. But what can I do to fix the WIFI?

[Lil_Boy_Blue]

Don't know.

I have a WiFi button, F12, and if that is not working then neither is the WiFi, tSohe aeroplane symbol.

You apparently don't have one.
