Hello @adityarai82,

Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums! The forums are a great place where you can find solutions for your issues, with help from the community!

I read your post about the WiFi issue, and wanted to assist you!  I understand that you tried many troubleshooting steps already, without success.

Try reviewing the following steps, offered by community member @Great-Deku-Tree:

First, we have a step by step guide to walk you through the troubleshooting process here: 
Troubleshooting Your Wireless Network and Internet Connection

A second option, is to try these steps:
Powercycle the network:
1. Shut down your notebook.
2. Unplug the power to your router.
3. Unplug the power to your modem.
4. Wait at least 45 seconds.
5. Plug in the modem, and wait for it to come back online.
6. Plug in the router, and wait for it to come back online.
7. Turn on your notebook, and test your connection.

Disable the Power Off option for the adapter:
1. Open Device Manager. (Win Key+R > type devmgmt.msc > OK)
2. Expand the Network adapters.
3. Right click on the Ethernet/Wireless Adapter and click Properties.
4. Click the Power Management tab.
5. Remove the check mark beside Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power.
6. Click OK.
7. Test.

Reset the TCP/IP settings on your PC:
1. Go to your start screen/menu and type CMD.
2. Right click on the command prompt icon and chose Run as administrator.
3. In the window that opens type "netsh int ip reset resetlog.txt" without quotes, and press enter.
4. Restart your PC and test.

It may also help to reset the winsock catalogue:
1. Go to your start screen/menu and type CMD.
2. Right click on the command prompt icon and chose Run as administrator.
3. In the window that opens type "netsh winsock reset" without quotes, and press enter.
4. Restart your PC and test.

Reinstall the network adapter drivers:
1. Download the drivers from here but do not run them yet.
2. Go to your start screen/menu and type Device Manager.
3. Expand Network adapters.
4. Right click on the wireless adapter and choose Uninstall.
5. Run the downloaded drivers from step 1.
6. Restart your PC and test.

Test an ethernet connection:
Self explanatory. Test if the issue persists on a wired connection to rule out the wireless adapter hardware so troubleshooting can be directed towards the right areas.

Test another connection:
Many people rule out their home network as an issue if another device is working on the same network. Networking is not that simple. Each device interacts differently with your router or modem and it is impossible to rule out settings in that device until the notebook has been tested on another network.

If those three steps do not resolve the issue, try this document published by Microsoft for networking issues: Wired and wireless network problems. You can change the operating system with the dropdown in the upper-right corner of the document.

Hello @adityarai82,

Thank you for the quick reply!

What were the results from testing another network?  Did you end up performing the System Recovery, to put the notebook back to its factory settings?  What were the results from testing the WLAN Module, to see if the hardware is the issue?

Regards!

[adityarai82]

Dear support agent,
I have done factory reset as well, and get windows 8.1 again, still having the issues, and I have check the wireless module check as well it is showing "not installed" any other solution or suggestions... I fed up now..


Thanks

Thanks for the helpful reply, please may I know, is the wireless module became faulty or may be loose something, or have to replace it from the new wireless module... Or I can open it and re fix it, so it will work fine... I have never tried to replace wireless module, some other hardware problems I can solve.... Are you sure, after checking by f2 wireless test, which showing not installed, means wireless module hardware creating problems, as I have already tried all drivers and software solutions to sort out, but nothing helped me out from the problems,

So do you think it's hardware problems or become faulty.

Thanks
Kind regards

Hello @adityarai28,

The error message that you received when performing the hardware test, usually indicates that there is some type of issue with the WLAN Module communicating to the system.  This can either be software or hardware related.  However, you already went through various troubleshooting steps to resolve software related issues.  This is why, it may be possible that the WLAN Module is either not connected properly, or is defective.  Reviewing the guide I previously provided, should help with checking/replacing the WLAN Module.

Regards!

[adityarai82]

Sure, dear support agent,

I will follow and try to solve, but I really don't understand, it's really a hardware problems or something happening with Windows version or faulty incompatible drivers but I installed through hp assistant support remote assistance as well as from official hp website,

OK thanks a lot

Will tell further information, 😊
