@MonkeyPc, Welcome to HP Support Community,
Thank you for posting your query; I’m here to help by guiding you through steps to resolve this issue
Device Manager
Press Win + X > select Device Manager.
Expand Network Adapters.
Look for something like Intel Wireless-AC, Realtek, MediaTek, or Wi-Fi.
If you see a Wi-Fi adapter:
Right-click > choose Enable (if it’s disabled).
If already enabled, try uninstalling the device and then Scan for hardware changes.
Check BIOS Settings
Sometimes the Wi-Fi module can be disabled at the BIOS level.
Restart the laptop and press Esc or F10 (usually during boot) to enter BIOS.
Look for settings under Advanced > Built-in Device Options or System Configuration.
Ensure Wireless LAN is enabled.
HP Hardware Diagnostics (UEFI)
Run the built-in hardware check to confirm if your Wi-Fi card is faulty:
Shut down the laptop.
Power it on and immediately press Esc, then F2 to enter HP Diagnostics.
Go to Component Tests > Network > Wireless Module Test.
Run the test and check for failure.
Check Windows Network Settings
Press Win + I > go to Network & Internet > Status.
Click Change adapter options.
Is the Wi-Fi adapter listed? If not, Windows isn’t detecting the hardware.
Update Chipset & BIOS from HP
Download and install:
Latest BIOS
Intel Chipset Driver
Wi-Fi driver
