My HP Pavilion G6 Notebook PC is not showing the names of any wireless networks or wireless hotspots. I have even tried to reinstall the network drivers and even did a Hardware test but the problem persists. Please reply as soon as possible as it is very urgent

@CiberJaguar Did you run a hardware test on the WiFi card as suggested by the other tech? if not, here's what I suggest we do:
Install the latest version of the HP Hardware diagnostics (UEFI) on your device using this link: Click here for details
- Hold the power button for at least five seconds to turn off the computer.
- Turn on the computer and immediately press Esc repeatedly, about once every second. When the menu appears, press the F2 key.
- On the HP PC Hardware Diagnostics (UEFI) main menu, click System Tests.
- Click Extensive Test.
- Click Run once, or Loop until error.
- While the test is running, the time remaining and test result for each component display on the screen.
If a component fails a test, write down the failure ID (24-digit code) for when you respond back to us.
P.S: Welcome to HP Community 😉

I did both the hardware tests simple and extensive one on my notebook as suggested by the other tech supporter that day only and just after the tests when I restarted my notebook to my surprise it was working perfectly fine but now on the day when I posted this Question the problem started again. So I did the tests again, it passed every test this time as well but my problem persisted this time.

@CiberJaguar Yes, please do, because the tests run outside the windows environment get the best and most accurate results,
Let me know how it pans out.
