My wireless adapter is not showing in my device manager under network adaptors

I have a Pavilion, model p6210f with Windows 7
I have used it for 2 years with an ethernet cable and now I need it to go wireless, however, no wireless adpater is showing in the device manager under network adaptors, only showing the LAN.
Checking the specifications for this model at the hp website, it should have a 56K Win Modem.
Don't know what to do except go buy a USB Wireless adaptor, any ideas?
Called tech support, but I was given no assistance.

Hi:
Below is the link to the product specs for your PC.
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01852858&tmp_task=prodinfoCategory&cc=us&dlc=en...
The PC does not come with wireless networking capability - only a wired ethernet adapter and a dial up modem.
The easiest thing to do is to purchase and external USB wireless network adapter.
Below is a link which will give you plenty of choices to consider. Look at the reviews and buy one that best suits your needs. You will of course, also need a wireless networking router.

W520 Smart Card reader does not show up in Device Manager

W520 Smart Card reader does not show up in Device Manager.
It was working before and now nothing. Nothing happens when SD card plugges in.
Could my smart card reader stop working or is this a configuration issue?
Any thoughts?
thanks

Hi Ian,
Welcome to the community, and thanks for the post.
The issue is related with software, to resolve this you need to re-install the card reader driver from the below mentioned web link.

MS-1762 with new 770M not showing up in Device Manager

Recently I tried to install a 765M into my Medion Erazer X7817, which is an MS-1762 barebone. Since that didn't work out in the end I returned the item and bought a green 770M which was said to be compatible with MSI (1762 as well as other boards) and Alienware.
The card came today and I inserted the new card into my laptop. There was no difference in terms of startup - no resolution change, nothing. Originally, if there was no card or a dead card inside the laptop the fan would spin up to 100% a few minute after startup. But after I installed the 770M the fan is quiet and normal, HOWEVER the card isn't showing up in Device Manager. It also isn't showing up in the NVflash utility so a vBIOS flash is out of the question for now. I have reseated the GPU and I double-checked to make sure it was in correctly.
Since the card is newer than both the 670M (the card which came with the laptop when I first bought it, which has died) and the 765M (the one I bought but didn't work in the end as it was for Clevo and Alienware only) would a BIOS update make the card visible somehow? Obviously I cannot install the drivers, only the Intel HD Graphics 4000 is showing up, and that has the latest drivers.
Any suggestions? This is a MS-1762 barebone, stock BIOS:
American Megatrends Inc.
Version E1762IM7.107

nope this bios is not for your notebook
because its change .1xx ==> 7.xx , ie: Win7 ==> Win8
and because its change Medion to Retail
double cross flashing
if you flash it, it may brick your notebook
or if its not bricked it can cause a side effects like brightness wifi are not working and to such
with no option to flash back to your original one
I realized. I could have used the /x parameter in afudos to force it, but that could've made things worse.
Which bios should I use then? Does unlocking my current bios allow compatablity for 7xxM cards?

Wireless adapter not showing up in device manager

Hello all,
I am having a particularly frustrating problem. I was playing around with the memory timings to overclock my computer and all of a sudden, my wireless adapter ceases to exist to my computer. It does not show up anywhere in device manager (including no unknown devices or anything), only the Ethernet shows up. I have tried a system restore, turned off all OC and my BIOS is updated to the most recent version. Is it possible that trying to overclock my computer caused the wireless adapter to burn out? The motherboard I'm using is the msi x99S gaming 9 ack.
Any help would be very appreciated, thank you all in advance for your time to help out!

remove power cord from the PSU and >>Clear CMOS Guide<<
if the wifi card is removable, try to reseat it
also install latest killer drivers from:

Wifi card sometimes showing sometimes not showing up in device manager

Recently on startup my wifi connection sometimes does not appear and when i go into device manager it does not seem to be there at all. Through some research it could be that my inbuilt wifi card is dying? I might have to reboot my laptop 6 times before it miraculously seems to work. Does anyone know what could be causing this? Do i need to buy a new wireless card? Thanks.

Hi there ,
Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome! This is a great site to get answers and ask questions. I have looked into the issue you are having with your WiFi connection disappearing on your HP Pavilion DV6 6B00 Notebook with Windows 7. Have you tried to connect the Router directly to the Notebook? Here is a document I found called HP Pavilion dv6 Notebook PC Maintenance and Service Guide. In this document it will show you where the Wireless Network Card sits and how to reseat the card. Sometimes this can help reset it with the Notebook. The other document that I found for you is called Troubleshooting Your Wireless Network and Internet Connection for Windows 7. I am also attaching a link to update the Drivers for your HP Pavilion DV6 6B00. This link is from the HP Website and there is an updated Intel Wireless Drivers for Microsoft Windows 7 driver available.
Please follow these provided troubleshooting steps, re-post and let me know how everything went.
Thank you! Have a great day!

Non Functional Wireless Adapter: Visible and Functional According to Device Manager Doesn't Appear in IPConfig

Hi all,
This one has me completely lost. The user normally connects via a USB wireless adapter, which stopped working a few days ago apparently of its own accord. The device is detected and reported as working by both Device Manager, and the Network Connections
menu, however it doesn't appear at all in ipconfig- Not even to say that it isn't connected to anything. When I try to connect to a network, it reports no connections available as if it was out of range. However, I'm sitting right under a known working access
point.
The device is enabled in devmgmt, there is no physical switch to disable it, and the adapter itself is tested as working both on different hardware running Windows 7 and 8, and the same hardware running Slax Linux. Wired connectivity to the affected machine
appears to be fully functional, which leads me to discount the TCP/IP stack.
I've tried the default PnP driver, the driver that came with the device on a mini-CD, and the latest driver from the manufacturer. I've also tried a completely separate USB wireless adapter, made by a different manufacturer, which proved to have the same
problem with identical symptoms.
I've been through power settings, it is set to Maximum Performance as per the default. I've checked the WLAN autoconfig service, which is running and starting automatically as it always has. I've even checked registry settings suggested elsewhere on technet,
and those are fine. System restore produced no results. Virus scan came back clean.
The only two things that seem unusual are A) the fact that the adapter doesn't appear at all in ipconfig, and that Cisco AnyConnect VPN client begins complaining in the event viewer, error description "ROUTTABLE_ERROR_GETBESTROUTE_FAILED" - Presumably
due to the sudden lack of usable interfaces
With all this, I'm out of ideas. Thanks for reading, and any suggestions (even insane ones) would be much appreciated.

Hi Blexie,
According to your update, I think you have fixed it by yourself.
I am glad to hear the issue is resolved .
Thank you for share the solution.
If you have any concerns, please do not hesitate to let us know. Thanks again, and have a great day!

Graphics Card Does Not Show Up In Device Manager (Re: Installing AMD Video Drivers - Windows 8.1 (Step-By-Step Tutorial)

This tutorial is a step-by-step tutorial on how to "fix" issues of a new graphics card not appearing in Windows 8.1 Pro, or not appearing (as a device) in Device Manager, or it's not being detected by Windows 8.1.
This is the "second part" of a Step-by-Step Tutorial on how to install AMD Radeon graphics card drivers in Windows 8.1 Pro.
GRAPHICS CARD IS NOT DETECTED AND DOES NOT SHOW UP IN WINDOWS 8.1 DEVICE MANAGER
This problem can appear if the video card is not installed properly in the PCI slot and as a result the card is not detected in device manager. Check the physical connections again, reinsert the card properly in the PCI slot, check the connections (including the power cables going to the video card, and ensure that the fan on the graphics card is spinning and the card does have power and is properly seated/inserted) and then install the drivers from the manufacturer’s website.
If the video card is in fact installed properly, but the problem of the video card not being discovered/found by the operating system persists, then try these following methods below to check if this solves the problem.
Method 1:
First, I would suggest you to run the following Microsoft Fixit to get the problem automatically detected and fixed. This Microsoft "fixit" App checks if the device is currently disabled or turned off or the driver is not installed.
Hardware devices are not working or are not detected in Windows.
http://support.microsoft.com/mats/hardware_device_problems/en-us
Method 2:
Sometimes, some devices in device manager are hidden due to corrupt or missing drivers.
Follow the steps below to show hidden devices in the device manager and troubleshoot accordingly.
Press the Windows key + X
Select Command Prompt (Admin)
Type set devmgr_show_nonpresent_devices=1 and hit enter
Type Start DEVMGMT.MSC and hit enter.
Once in Device Manager hit the View menu and select show hidden devices.
From here, remove each instance of the AMD or Nvidia card you see as well as each unknown device. Exit Device Manager and reinstall the latest drivers you can find for your graphics card.
After you install the drivers, reboot and see if you get any different results.
If the above solved your problems and the Graphics Card is now working and is now being properly detected/displayed in Windows Device Manager:
If your graphics card is now being detected by Windows 8.1 in Device Manager, but has a "yellow exclamation" mark (or video drivers are not found or not properly installed or the device is disabled) then install the latest graphics card drivers and proceed with this Step-by-Step Tutorial on how to install AMD Radeon graphics card drivers in Windows 8.1 Pro.
Method 3:
If methods suggested above does not help, I would recommend you to contact Apple/AMD/NVIDIA to get the latest chipset, BIOS, graphics card drivers installed properly.

URGENT Lenovo g550 webcam does not show up in Device Manager and all drivers cannot be installed

Hello everyone. So my lenovo g550 webcam stopped working after I did a clean install of windows 7 home. When I go under device manager I do not see any unknow devices. When I also go to show hidden devices it is not there. Could anyone give me information about how to fix this and if the cable to the webcam might be broken. If so, is there a way I could convert the webcam's pin outs to usb to test it. I have split an old usb cable into four colored spots. Not sure if i want to test it though. That would be my last resort. If needbe, can you tell me the pin outs for the webcam. It has five connectors. The reason I know this is usb is because my older installation on windows 7 detected it and said that the usb could be faster. Thanks.

Sorry about that. I've only been a member for a few days. I will remove the post with all Capps. Have a nice day!

MSATA not showing up in Device Manager

I have a Lenovo Thinkpad T420 running a Samsung 830 as the main drive. I purchased a Crucial 64GB mSata drive so I can backup files from my main drive, to the Crucial drive. I installed the drive, it shows up in the Bios but I don't see it in the device manager or disk manager. Is there anything else I need to do to get the OS to see it? I am running Windows 8 x64.

Hi fowen,
That's strange. I have a Crucial mSATA SSD in my T420, but I was doing a Win 7 install - so not the same situation.
I wonder if Win 8 or one of the installed components (or the BIOS) configuration is combining that SSD with the HDD as a cache device? BIOS in RAID mode? Disk driver doing something odd?
Have a look at the 2nd post in this link and see if it gives you anthing to try. (This is a total WAG on my part.)

Device Alias not showing up in device manager

Folks,
I did create the device alias database and I can see the device aliases show up with I type show zoneset active in cli. But when I go to the fabric manager I am unable to see the devices aliases only the actual pwwn shows up. Do I have to enable anything special in the device manager for it to show up.
Thanks

Hi,
Try this...

T61p - IEEE 1394 (Firewire) port does not show up in device manager in Windows 7 x64

I have a T61p. On the front, in the left corner, right next to the wireless on/off switch, is a IEEE 1394 (Firewire) port. However, if I plug anything into it, it's not recognized by Windows, and if I go into the device manager in Windows, there is no IEEE 1394 host manager or ports or anything listed there.
I have rebooted and gone into the BIOS, and I don't see anything in there about 1394 either. Is the port there, but the hardwire inside is missing? Do I need to enable it somehow?

Let me clarify that. I have something in the device manager called "SD Host Adapters", and under that "SDA Standard Compliant SD Host Controller". That thing has a Microsoft driver.
However, under "IDE ATA/ATAPI contollers", I do see "Ricoh Memory Stick Contoller", "Ricoh SD/MMC Host Contoller", and "Ricoh xD-Picture Card Contoller".
I also have "PCMCIA adapters" that has "Ricoh R/RL/5C476(II) or Compatible CardBus Contoller".
So, it would seem I have the right drivers for the card reader, I'm just missing anything for the IEEE 1394 contoller...

Devices Not Showing Up in Device Manager After WinXP Install

I installed Windows XP Professional CD after re-formatting and partitioning the hard drive in my ThinkPad T42 (2378-FVU).
After finishing the install and running Windows Update for an eternity, Device Manager still can't detect several items. (I was able to get my wireless networking to work after installing a driver from Intel.) These are the "Other Devices" in yellow listed in Device Manager:
- Ethernet Controller
- PCI Modem
- Video Controller (VGA Compatible)
Yes, I dutifully downloaded and installed these and other device drivers from Lenovo's website.
Why doesn't WinXP SP3 detect my devices?!?
I saw other posts about a WinXP Pro install on T41 Thinkpads with the same problem. The recommended solution was to install the device drivers "twice." I'm sorry, but I don't understand what that means, twice? The solution also seemed to indicate that the install is supposed to be done at two different locations. But, only one path is listed in the solution and my drivers are installed in the solutions' paths.
Hopefully, someone can be more explicit about how to do the driver installations twice.
Thank you in advance for your help.

Hi and welcome to the forum!
The other path is C:\DRIVERS\WIN....the first setup tells you the exact location if you pay attention.
Hope this helps.
