I have had this problem so many times, and each time I had to restart my entire computer.
When my laptop connects modem with cable it works but not showing wifi
I think my computer has no problem connecting with a cable, but it says "couldn't find wireless devices" . I would really love to avoid restarting again and again
My HP laptop specifications are
OS : windows 8
Processor : AMD A10-4655M APU with Radeon (tm) HD Graphics 2.00 GHz
RAM : 8.00GB
System type : 64- bit Operating System, x64- based processor

Hi
Hardware could be removed and reseated back into it's slot which sometimes works.
Make, Model and OS or SKU please.
What Does Device Manager report as the type of adapter?
WinKey + R and type msinfo32 SKU is line 9 probably. Then navigate and give the adater details please.
It should be easy to copy and paste the details in.

Hi
So you have a HP Pavilion 15-n007ax Notebook PC (ENERGY STAR) running W8.1 with adapter drivers installed correctly.
Default IP Gateway 192.168.0.1
Default IP Gateway 192.168.1.1, fe80::982d:7878:fefe:e7c0
One difference is you are using a lot of extra virtual Adapters, IPv6 for instance. My default Gateway is just IPv4.
But you may be on IPv6 whereas the UK isn't.
My ipconfig -all and just looking at my WiFi is....
Wireless LAN adapter WiFi:
Connection-specific DNS Suffix . :

The WiFi values would be Automatic or STATIC.
Try with IPv6 disabled.
So how close to matching my setup are you?
