When I unplugged my charger from my laptop, the Wi-Fi almost immediately dropped out. The only way I am able to get an Internet connection is through an Ethernet cable. I was wondering if there was any way to fix the problem. The solutions that I have tried are restarting the computer, restarting my connection, doing the troubleshooting, tried refreshing the drivers, but nothing worked. I was wondering if there was any way to fix the problem. Thank you for answering my concern.

Thank you for answering my problems. I tried all of the suggestions without my Ethernet cable plugged in and it said that my computer passed all of the tests. I turned on my laptop without the Ethernet cable and I still don't any connection options for my Wi-Fi. What do I do now?

Hello @Daniel2245 

 

Let me check your basic system configuration before we focus on the <wireless network> problem ...

 

(1) Run    msinfo32

- Select <System Summary>:

--->>> Copy/screenshot/paste following key/value pairs:

 

OS Name

Version

System Model

System SKU

( equals HP product number (p/n) )

Processor

BIOS Version/Date

 

(2) Start Windows <Device Manager>

- Expand <Other devices> ? (Those entries are for hardware for which Windows has not loaded a suitable driver)

- Expand <Network adapters>

--->>> Send screenshot
