Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I have a laptop hp dy151012la, I wanted to change the network card because the one that comes from the factory does not support 5g network, I found an article in this forum

 

https://h30467.www3.hp.com/t5/Internet-red-y-conexión-inalámbrica-para-notebooks/Tarjeta-Wifi-Notebo...

 

that recommended a specific model of network card, so I bought it.

I installed it myself and the computer recognizes it, even appears installed with drivers and everything, however, the wifi does not work; then I decided to run the troubleshooter and I throw this:

I searched the internet how to fix it and several videos mentioned the existence of a key with a network icon, they said that pressing fn+ that key would activate the wifi, but this model does not have that key, they also mentioned activating it from the bios, but I went into the bios and did not find the option to activate the wlan.

so my question is:

How can I activate the wifi?

Hi @otikoom 

 

First verify that you have wi-fi enabled by going to  Windows Settings, network and Internet. If this does not work, install the following driver

Hello, thanks for your help.

I tried to turn on wifi from settings but it didn't work

so I installed the driver you mentioned

¿what should I do now?

HP Recommended

I see that you are connected by network cable, disconnect and only use the wi-fi connection.

still doesn't work

HP Recommended

But it is recognizing a wi-fi network, you must connect to the wi-fi network it shows. click on the network name

HP Recommended

I also noticed that Bluetooth doesn't work. Do you think it might be an issue with the card itself?

HP Recommended

that is not a network, it's the name of the adapter

HP Recommended

In this menu, only the available networks are displayed
