Hi @nanroth,

Welcome to the HP Support Community.
 

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

Losing Wi-Fi on your HP laptop, especially when everything was working fine before, can be frustrating and disruptive. Let’s walk through the most effective steps to get your connection back.

Step-by-Step Fix for Lost Wi-Fi on HP Laptop

1. Check the Wi-Fi Button or Key

Some HP laptops have a physical Wi-Fi toggle key (often F12 or marked with a wireless icon).

• Press the key once and wait 10 seconds.
• Look for changes in the Wi-Fi icon in the taskbar.
• If the icon reappears, try reconnecting to your network.

2. Restart Your Laptop and Router

• Power off your laptop.
• Unplug your router for 30 seconds, then plug it back in.
• Restart your laptop and try reconnecting.

3. Run HP Network Diagnostics

Use HP Support Assistant to automatically detect and fix Wi-Fi issues.

• Open HP Support Assistant (or download from HP Support Assistant | HP® Support).
• Select your device > Troubleshooting and Fixes > HP Network Check.
• Follow the prompts to diagnose and repair.

4. Update Wi-Fi Drivers

• Press Windows + X > Device Manager.
• Expand Network Adapters.
• Right-click your Wi-Fi adapter > Update driver.
• Choose Search automatically for drivers.

5. Reset Network Settings

• Go to Settings > Network & Internet > Status.
• Scroll down and click Network Reset.
• Restart your laptop after the reset completes.

I hope this helps.

Take care and have an amazing day!
