Unable to connect to internet wirelessly missing the adapter.

[Gaabz]

Desperately need help, I have tried several times to resolved the issue but I am still having it. I have a HP Pavilion Sleekbook 15 I have contacted support in the past but the issue is ongoing. I have restored my PC to factory default 3 times the only way I am able to connect to the internet is via a LAN line or my phone providing the connection via USB. I have updated the network adapters one by one yet the one I believe the PC needs is completely missing, I have seen this on my other PC it has wifi adapter at the end that just not on this PC, Airplane mode is off yet the light is amber instead of blue on my F12 button. I have done the troubleshooting I find online with no success I unfortunately cannot continue to use the wired connection it just doesnt work for me since my workspace is in another room and the modem/router is in the TV room where I can't work. Please help.
