No Wireless Adapter Displayed/ or Showing

My Laptop suddenly stopped connecting to the internet wirelessly. This happened yesterday night and it was working just fine throughout the day. I tried a BIOS update and updating the driver but it didn't help. The wireless adapters also wont appear on my network connections window (as seen on the screenshot). I also tried downloading a driver from the website but no drivers were available. Would I need to replace the adapter or can I find another way to fix it?

, Hello and thanks for posting on the HP support forums. Firs thing you should try before any of what you have done so far is a system restore back to when you know it was working. The system restore is quick and easy to do. HP PCs - Using Microsoft System Restore (Windows 8) Here is a link to the support page for your drivers and it does list drivers for windows 8.

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.

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:
http://www.msi.com/support/mb/X99S-GAMING-9-ACK.html#down-driver&Win8.1 64
[try older version as well if needs]

Wireless adapter not showing any available networks

I've recently discovered that my Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6235 wireless adapter in my Asus Zenbook UX32VD running Windows 7 64 bit is not working as it won't show any available networks while my phone can find plenty in the same area.
So far I've:
-Re-installed the driver. Before I did this the adapter wouldn't even show when trying to change adapter settings. When I looked at the adapter in device manager I found an error code 52 which disappeared after I re-installed the driver.
-Re-installed the client for windows networks installed for the adapter which did not make a difference.
-Temporarily turned off my AVG-free anti-virus which did not make a difference.
When looking at the adapter after clicking change adapter settings in the networks and sharing center it says it's not connected, but as stated above it doesn't show any networks to connect to.
Also, when I try to use the networks diagnostics tool I get the following error message:
Windows cannot find
'::{26EE0668-A00A-44D7-9371-BEB06...\resultPage?keywords=+Network;NetworkDiagnostics'.
Make sure you typed the name correctly, and the try again.
Any possibly solutions I've not already tried are welcome. Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi,
Locate to Services and check all services relating to wireless and network are enabled: Wireless Zero Configuration and WLAN AutoConfig, etc.
Also, make sure your NIC is working correctly from device manager.

Windows 2003 on T61 wireless adapter not showing

I have 7658( CTO) T61 with XP pro.... I downgraded windows 2003 enterprise edition SP2. i have few questions
1. I changed the bios to compatibility mode ( I keep sata then win 2003 not booting, so changed to compatability mode). Is it required that I keep compatability mode.?
2. Wireless adapter is not working ( not showing at all). It is PCI\VEN_168C&DEV_1014&SUBSYS_058A1014&REV_01\4&29E2C51B&0&00E1
I downloaded and tried many drivers from lenovo website but is not working.
I have struggled for a week and searched many forums but nothing is helping me out. Please help me.

You will need the Windows 2003 compatible SATA drivers to stop using compatibility mode. I don't know if they exist... good luck there. Try Intel's web site since you probably have an Intel chipset.
As for the wireless adapter, again it may be a matter of Win2003 not recognizing the device. I would try and manually install several drivers and see which one may work. You may have to force-feed Win2003 since it doesn't recognize the hardware. Be sure you know the manufacturer of the wireless chip... Intel or Broadcom or Atheros? Look at the specs for your laptop.

Xbox 360 wireless adapter wont connect to Airport Express/cant find ip

i have a time warner modem with the ethernet cable plugged into my airport express to create a wireless network in my house. my macbook and dell connect with no prob.
the xb recognizes the airport express, shows it as connected with green bars, but when i try to log into xbox online, it says that there is no connection.
i can plug in the ethernet cable from the xb to the airport ex and there is no problem. only when trying to use the wireless adapter.
how can i stop this? also, how can i find my IP address?
since the xb wouldnt connect and find my ip automatically, i tried to do it manually. when i go to terminal on my macbook and enter "ipconfig e0", i dont see an IP address.
i have seen a lot of info on this but it mainly deals with airport extreme or those who are trying to connect to airport express with an ethernet cable.
so if you can help me troubleshoot the wireless connection between my xb and my airport ex OR explain how i can find my IP address, i would be very grateful.
FYI---the airport express was purchased in april, so i believe it is the new "n" model.
thanks for all your help.

Gary Sanborn, please share your tricks. I'm curious to know how you got it to work. I used to have the old Express and that worked just fine. The new version (n) doesn't seem to connect to xbox live. As previously stated, mine also shows "connected" and a strong green bar signal on the xbox but the text can't get passed "connected to live"... if I'm not mistaken.
I heard about holding down the option button white selected the type of wireless connection and connecting to wireless b only. I would want to avoid this option. I don't want my express to run that slow. Please advice. Thanks in advance.
By the way, I haven't tried it since recently upgrading to OS X 10.5.3. I wasn't sure if that affected airport's connectivity with xbox 360.

Aperture and Canon 5D with wireless adapter

I have a 15" macbook pro, and I want to get a 20" iMac to do this, if I can, but when I shoot in the studio, I use my wireless adapter on my Canon 5D to transmit my photos to a Mac. Is there a way that I can use aperture to monitor a directory, and display the new photos durring a shoot, so I can review them right away. I can use the canon software when im teathered, but defeats the wireless adapter, and I really love aperture.
Thanks!

Go here:

and get the Aperture Hot Folder script.
That should do it.

Wireless adapter is not working.

My WiFi is not working, please help me. For tree days I’m trying to turn on wireless adapter.
In Programs and Features I have Atheros 802.11 showing. But in Device Manager it is not showing up. On switch Fn+10 is going on but the control lamp is not going on. I have reinstalled the driver Atheros_WLAN 8.0.0.196. I tried even Atheros AR928x Wireless Network Adapter, but it is not working. I upgraded to Win 7 Home Premium, reset to original factory state, to Win 7 Starter. Now I again upgraded to Win 7 Home Premium. Nothing helped.
I'm hoping you can help me out.
Peter.

You could try a couple of simple things that might help:
SMC Reset
Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer's power cord and disconnect attached devices.
Wait fifteen seconds.
Attach the computer's power cord.
Wait five seconds, then press the power button to turn on the computer.
Reset PRAM
Shut down the computer.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P and R.  You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.

WRT546 Wireless Adapter not picking up signal

We have 2 computers, one hard wired and the other wireless for the internet. The system has been working perfectly until we switched out the wireless computer for a new computer. Spent several hours on this and hours on the phone with Linksys. We had to install the wireless adapter and are thinking that this is where the problem lies. Are there any suggestions on the correct way or port to install the adapter? It looks like there is only one place to put it. Nothing in the User Guide shows how to install the wireless adapter.

may i know the model number of the router and wireless adapter? you have 2 computers right? 1desktop and 1laptop? or 2desktops? 2laptops?

Issues with usb wireless adapter

Hi
Please excuse my ignorance.
I have an imac (about 2 years old) with a built in airport card. I am trying to use a usb wireless adapter. It has a realtek rtl8187. we have a wifi network here that works with my pc using this adapter but i cant get it to work on the mac. You have to sling the adapter on the window sill but it picks it up fine.
I have installed the supplied software (obviously the mac one!) and it installs the software and driver. After i have restarted, and plug the thing in, it tells me to turn on my wlan card on the supplied software?? It shows up in the listing on network settings as ethernet adapter ((null)). I cannot find any setting to turn on my wireless card, i thought that was airport?
The airport picks up the network but the signal is too weak to connect, hence the adapter with a bit more guts....
I have this beautiful mac, colecting dust and am having to use a pc!
If i connect the usb adapter without installing the software, it constantly has a box popping up in network settings saying that an external device has changed settings! it doesnt stop doing it, until you delete the location...
Can anyone help? I may be being thick and dont have a wlan card or something or airport will not allow me to use this thing. I only just started getting into macs when i moved to spain, where it has sat colecting dust for 3 months.
I would appreciate any advice.
Thanks
Richard

TNHusker, welcome to the forum.
Cisco makes a router that is good for two-story homes. I have used it for several years. My router / hotspot is on the second floor and my Blu-ray player and laptop are on the first floor. Both work extremely well with the router. They also make a USB, AM10, that works very nicely with a desktop without a wireless card.

Turn off adaptive display for AC mode

Hi,
I am in curiosity of how I can turn off adaptive brightness display for external mode.
http://i.imgur.com/nnDnd9Y.jpg
I have already turned it off from Power Options in Control Panel. At first, this did not work alone to turn adaptive brightness off so I also disabled Display Power Saving Technology for battery mode from Intel Graphics Control Panel.
This works like a charm for battery mode but adaptive display is still active when on external power and I could not find an option to disable it in Intel Graphics Control Panel, there isn't Display Power Saving Technology for external power.
http://i.imgur.com/WtLe6kB.jpg
So, how can I stop adaptive brightness for AC power before I go blind of the abrupt changes in brightness when I'm plugged in to the wall?
Any help is appriciated.
Thanks!
This question was solved.

Hi @yldzanl ,
Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I have looked into your issue about your HP ENVY 15 Notebook and wanted to turn down the brightness on AC mode. On your first screen shot it shows you under the Edit settings. You will notice adjust brightness one for battery mode and the other for AC adapter, they are not the same.
Change this to be the same for battery and save settings.
Thanks should take care of it.

Disabling Wireless Adapter

I want to run a Powershell Startup Script to disable the Wireless adapters on some systems. I thought I'd want to get some WMI stuff
Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_NetworkAdapter -Filter "Name = 'Intel(R) Centrino(R) Advanced-N 6205'
Then run netsh to disable it
netsh interface set interface "Wireless Network Connection" DISABLED
After looking at this I wondered why not just run the
netsh interface set interface "Wireless Network Connection" DISABLED
I don't really need the Get-WmiObject do I?

Linksys Smart Wi-Fi Device List Not Finding Windows 8 Wireless Adapter

I recently upgraded my Wi-Fi router to an EA3500 and am controlling it using Smart Wi-Fi running on a wired Windows 7 machine.
So far, I have been able to add devices to the network without issue and each of those connections works fine. All, except my TV, have been Windows 7 based machines.  Smart Wi-Fi Device List has been able to "see" each device and I have been able to add them to that list as well.
I am attempting to add a Windows 8 desktop computer to the network which is using a external USB wireless adapter. That computer can see and connect to the network through the EA3500 and the connection seems to work fine. The only issue is that its adapter does not show up in the Device List.
My questions:
1) Does the Device List do anything else besides showing a list of devices I chosen to add to my network?
2) How do I get my Windows 8 wireless adapter to show up in the Device List?
Thanks In Adance!
Solved!

I would like to chime in here too. I also have the same issue as described on an older Mac desktop. The ethernet port has failed so it connects only via the AirPort wireless. My issue is IMPORTANT because until this devices shows up on the Device List I cannot apply the Parental Controls. Joining Orloldman for an answer... (Thanks!)
Try the following:
1.       Disconnect the computer from the wireless network
2.       Remove wireless network profile on your computer
3.       Reboot the computer and power cycle the router
4.       Reconnect to the wireless network
5.       Check if the computer shows up on the device list.
If it is still not showing, reset and reconfigure the wireless router.

Belkin wireless adapter F5D6050 keeps loosing settings when i first boot up

I have to go into belkin wireless adapter setup everytime i reboot the machine.
i am running 10.3.9 using the above adapter and it is doing my head in, any help would be gratefully apprieciated.

Hi David White,
Alternatively, after password recovery you can modify the configuration to be what you want, and then issue:
write memory
to save the configuration. You can then verify that your changes have been saved to the startup config by issuing:
show startup-config"
The only good thing is that when I switch off a router it erase configuration except my new password which I created after password reset. Everything else is getting vanished (ADSL settings, DHCP, routing ) everything. Even new admin accounts I created.
Well have a question to your above comments. I am new in Cisco so please put as much detail as you can for me to understand. When you say modify configuration do you mean to go to Cisco CP Express graphical interface and then connect router to hyper terminal and execute above commands?
Why router doesn't remember this anyway. There must be some option to change in configuration to make thing permanent when I hit apply changes in Cisco CO Express otherwise it is pointless to heve it.
Phillip
write memory
is
copy running-config startup-config"
Can't this be done via Cisco CP Express or set up router to copy this every time I change this in graphical interface rather going to command line to achnoledge it?
I understand your concern about this router and somebodie's configuration details as you want things to be un-used when you buy them - true. ADSL details belongs to the shop which sold me the router so that is why I don't make a big problem about this. We take most of hardware from this shop and have discount and many good deals with them so I think they have been just testing it and forgot to erease their config. It might be that someone has returned router to the shop and they have repaired it and tested it.
I hope this is a normal behaviour of this router as I have option to replace it in case this is a fault.
Could you please write me step by step guide how can I make changed options stay permanently on router?
thank you
Dragan
