my wifi has disappeared and is not working

[darylk1]

Hi my laptop seems to have lost its wifi capabilty. My product number is K7R25EA#ABU.

I noticed i had to keep restarting my laptop to get wifi to work, ortherwise it kept asking for ethernet.

Then today while i was using the laptop my wifi went off and i could not connected to network. so i restarted my router and still would not connect. Then i restarted my laptop but no wifi icon was coming up. when ever i run trouble shotting it tells me to connect using the ethernet

If i go to... control panel>network and internet > network and sharing center> change adapter settings>  it only shows "bluetooth network connection " and "ethernet" and no wifi option

Help please.

Also when I go to device manager and click on wifi adapter it says

"Currently, this hardware device is not connected to the computer ( code 45)

To fix this problem, reconnect this hardware device to the computer "

Diver is also up to date.
