HP laptop cannot see WiFi networks

[hedarosan]

Model: HP 15-dy2

Software: Windows 10 Home

New laptop purchased last month did not come with an Ethernet port, so I purchased an Anker Ethernet-to-USB-C adapter. The Ethernet works fine, but now whenever I unplug from the adapter, my laptop cannot see any wireless networks. Am I SOL?

Things I've done:

• Network troubleshooting

• Numerous reboots

• Attempted driver updates (none found)

• Factory reset
