Hey, I am facing this issue from last month. When my wifi adapter is not working properly, Sometimes it searches for wifi networks but many times it shows no connections are available. After this I tried troubleshoot the network adapter system it shows please plug ethernet cabel. When I check the device manager the wireless divice wasn't there but as soon as i check hidden divices it is there. Also F12 key which turns on/off this network adapter is not working.
Hi,
Most of the time power cycling both laptop and modem at the same time will fix the problem.
Firt of..
Shut your computer down properly
Uplug the charger and take out the battery (if possible)
Press and hold the power button for 30 secs (Expect nothing will happen on the screen)
Leave the computer just like that (battery and charger out)
Go to your modem
Simply unplug the power cable and leave the modem for 30 secs
Plug the power cable of your modem and wait until the LED lights stabilized
Plug the battery and charger of your computer and turn it back on
Click to your wifi and enter your wifi password

Hi,
Troubleshooting the internet connection issues doesnt stop after doing the steps I mentioned above..
You have you to download the proper drivers for your computer including the BIOS update..
