Hi @DESKTOP-FA4DSGD,

 

Welcome to HP Support Community.  


Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

 

It seems like there might be a misunderstanding or a typo in your question. It's not clear what you mean by "earther wire." If you meant "Ethernet wire," which is a wired connection, and your HP laptop is not connecting to Wi-Fi without using an Ethernet cable, there could be several reasons for this issue. Here are some troubleshooting steps you can try.

 

Check Wi-Fi Settings:

  • Make sure your Wi-Fi is turned on. Look for a Wi-Fi symbol in the system tray or settings on your laptop.
  • Ensure that the correct Wi-Fi network is selected and that you have entered the correct Wi-Fi password.

Restart Your Laptop and Router:

  • Sometimes, a simple restart can resolve connectivity issues. Restart both your HP laptop and your Wi-Fi router.

Update Wi-Fi Drivers:

  • Ensure that your Wi-Fi drivers are up to date. You can update them through the device manager or by visiting the HP support website.

Check for Airplane Mode:

  • Make sure your laptop is not in Airplane mode, as this disables all wireless connections, including Wi-Fi.

Reset TCP/IP Stack:

  • Open Command Prompt as an administrator and type the following commands:

 

netsh winsock reset

netsh int ip reset

 

Forget and Reconnect to Wi-Fi:

  • Forget the Wi-Fi network on your laptop and then reconnect by entering the password again.

Firewall/Antivirus Software:

  • Disable any firewall or antivirus software temporarily to check if they are blocking the Wi-Fi connection.

Check Router Settings:

  • Log in to your router settings and ensure that MAC address filtering or other security features are not preventing your laptop from connecting.

Try Another Wi-Fi Network:

  • If possible, try connecting to a different Wi-Fi network to determine if the issue is specific to your home network.

Check for Physical Hardware Issues:

  • Ensure there are no physical issues with your laptop's wireless hardware. Some laptops have a physical switch or button to enable/disable Wi-Fi.

 

I hope this helps. 
 

Take care and have a good day.
