@DLI25, Welcome to the HP Support Community!  

Thanks for reaching out about your query regarding your Wi-Fi adapter not working! 

We're thrilled to have the opportunity to assist you and provide a solution.  

I'm sorry to hear that you're having trouble with your WiFi adapter on your OMEN by HP 16.1-inch Gaming Laptop. Let's try a few steps to get it working again:

Check if the WiFi Adapter is Enabled

1. Press Windows + X and select Device Manager.
2. Expand Network Adapters and see if the WiFi adapter is listed.
3. If you see a small arrow next to it, right-click and select Enable (if available).

Update or Reinstall the WiFi Driver

1. In Device Manager, right-click on your WiFi adapter.
2. Select Update driver → Search automatically for drivers.
3. If that doesn’t help, you can try uninstalling the driver:
   • Right-click the WiFi adapter → Uninstall device → Restart your laptop.
   • Windows should automatically reinstall the driver.

Reset Network Settings

1. Go to Settings → Network & Internet → Advanced network settings → Network reset.
2. Follow the prompts and restart your laptop.

Check the Physical Wireless Switch or Function Key

Some laptops have a physical WiFi switch or a function key combination (like Fn + F12) to enable/disable WiFi. Make sure it’s turned on.

Run the Network Troubleshooter

1. Go to Settings → System → Troubleshoot → Other troubleshooters → Internet Connections → Run.
2. Follow the suggested fixes.

If none of these steps work, let me know — I’m happy to explore more solutions with you! 😊  

Take care, and have an amazing day!
