Hi BP777,

 

Welcome to the HP Forums!

 

I would like to take a moment and thank you for using the forum, it is a great place to find answers. For you to have the best experience in the HP forum, I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More.

 

I understand that you are unable to enable the wireless.  Here is a link to Troubleshooting Your Wireless Network and Internet Connection (Windows 7). Please note step 2 under "cannot connect to the wireless network or Internet"

 

Have you tried to enable it in Device Manager?

Have you run the The HP Support Assistant to aid with finding updates and resolving issues.

Have you tried running MS Fix It  to help resolve issues?

 

There are 2 bios updates for your system, have you done those? Here is a link to HP Pavilion g6-1b79dx Notebook PC Drivers to get the bios updates.

 

Please let me know if this has helped.
