My network connection on laptop does not show any wifi network signals. I have tried switching on/off my airplane mode button. randomly one day it showed white colour on LED and connected to my wifi router and as soon as I switched off my laptop and turned it on the next day, it was not showing the white colour of the led and when I searched in device manager -> Network Adapter. there was no wireless adapter(Ratlink RT3290 11.2bgn). I have tried to install again, but no use. Still some day driver just get recognised itself randomly, but another there is no driver in laptop of wireless.

 

What to do?

Hi:

 

The Ralink RT3290 11.2 bgn wifi adapter is not compatible with the newer builds of W10, and what is happening to your notebook is very common.

 

Your only options would be to:

 

Go back the original operating system that came with your notebook.

 

Replace the Internal Ralink card with a different model that is supported in your notebook and works with W10.

 

Purchase a USB wifi adapter.
