Hi @yashagarwal ,
Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I have looked into your issue about your HP Pavilion g6-2314ax Notebook and having issues with the Wireless drivers. Here is a link to the HP Support Assistant.

Here is a link to the troubleshooting the Wireless connection. 
Here is a document on Airplane mode.
If Airplane mode is on you cannot use your WiFi and you would see the code 45 not connected, so Airplane mode should off and no Ethernet cable connected for the Wireless troubleshooting.
I hope something listed here helps you.
Thanks.

  • WiFi Adapter not detected on T530

    Hi there, I just purchased a refurb T530 form the Lenovo outlet and have had enormous problems with the Wifi Adapter. Machine: T530 Win 64 Pro Wifi card Realtek I know there have been many similar discussions of this issue in the past, so I can start by eliminating certain possibilities based on previous posts.
    1. The plug-in Ethernet functions fine.
    2. Toggle power switch has been tried, as well as FN+F5, which generates a message about no supported wireless adapters being found.
    3 WiFi card does not show up in the Device Manager (DM). There are no errors for other hardware components listed in the DM.
    4. WiFi does not show up in the BIOS.
    5. Lenovo support sent me a replacement WiFi card, but an Intel model, which immediately generated an error message upon bootup about a non-compatible PCI card. I reinstalled the original Realtek card and still cannot see it in the DM or BIOS.
    6. Have tried loading and unloading various drivers with respect to both the WiFi card as well as power management and hotkey features.
    This is brand new machine, and hence will go back to Lenovo under warranty service, but I would much prefer to handle this without the shipping hassle back-and-forth, plus I would like to understand the underlying issue to prevent its recurrence (especially if it's software based and not simply a defective chip). Any advice would be much appreciated. Thank you!
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    If adapter isn't broken, fitted to the slot preperly and turned on it should be recognised by system on the pci-e bus and seen in the Device Manager at least as Unknown device.
    To ensue that open powershell window and copy-past (via right click menu) the following string:
    Get-WmiObject Win32_PNPEntity | Where-Object{$_.ConfigManagerErrorCode -ne 0} | Select Name, DeviceID
    If adapter is recognised but doesn't have drivers installed, you'll see its description.
    Or you can check wireless adapter by its description context:
    Get-WmiObject Win32_PNPEntity | Where-Object{$_.Name –Match “DeviceName”} | Select Name, DeviceID
    Replace "DeviceName" in the string above with "Raltek", "Wireless", "Adapter" etc. (keep the quotes)

  • Broadcom wifi chipset not showing adapter

    I have a BCM4313 which is using the brcmsmac module, but iwconfig, ip addr, and 'ls /sys/class/net/' do not show my wifi adapter.
    For the record, in any other distro that has more automation my wifi card works right out of the box.
    I was able to setup a wifi connection in the network-manager, but I can't use it.
    [root@moniker ~]# ls /sys/class/net/
    eth0  lo
    I tried to rmmod and modprobe the module as some articles suggested, but that didn't do anything either.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Gusar wrote:Did you blacklist the bcma module? The wiki says "The bcma module can prevent some cards from showing up and may need to be blacklisted" but there is no "can" and "may", bcma and brcmsmac are for sure in conflict, so you need to blacklist bcma.
    Yeah, I guess a reboot is all I needed after doing all that. Thanks.

  • Xpower ac adapter not showing in device manager

    Help!!
    this is my third board and have just reassembled this board yet again trying to get the Bluetooth/wifi adapter to work yet again.
    The adapter is not showing in board explorer or device manager. I have reseated this numerous times and have tried a different adapter with zero luck. I sthere a bios setting to enable this? I am currently using bios 1.5.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated 

    BIOS->Advanced- see if there is tab like Intel Ethernet ........... Go into it if it is there, and see if it shows if adapter is connected or not (Not link connection as this will bne disabled)
    Take adapter out and see if it has bent pins, as this might bre causing the issue. If all fine, get it bnack into the slot for it and take motherboard out of the case and test on non conductive material (motherboard box is ok, NOT Anti conductive bag).  Also >>Posting Guide<<, and you could also try second BIOS (little switch, flip it when PC is OFF)

  • No Wireless networks found (WIFI adapter not visible)

    From 2-3 days , my laptop's wifi adapter was disabled automatically. 
    The wireless network doesn't showing WIFI option. 
    Therefore I am not able to connect to any WIFI network.
    Please help

    Hi @21_95,
    Thank you for your inquiry.
    I grasp that your wireless was automatically disabled and you are unable to enable it.
    If you check Device Manager is there any errors on it?
    You can check this setting also while you are in Device Manager.
    Click on the network adapters to expand the list.
    Right click on the wireless adapter and choose properties.
    Click on the power management tab.
    If allow the computer to turn off this device to save power is checked please remove it .
    Repeat that process for any additional network adapters.
    Here is  link to HP PCs - Troubleshooting Wireless Network and Internet (Windows 8) that may also help.
    As this is a recent occurrence you could test for a hardware failure of the card.
    HP Notebook PCs - Testing for Hardware Failures (Windows 8)
    You could also try a HP PCs - Refresh Your PC to Resolve Problems (Windows 8) which will reinstall your Windows but should not affect your files.  I do suggest that you do a backup of your files just to be on the safe side.
    Good Luck!

  • 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]

  • Compaq 15 wifi icon not showing in windows 7

    Hello I have a PC Notebook Compaq 15 h000ss, I have just installed Windows 7 64 bits and the wifi icon is not showing, the wifi adapter is not showing either in device manager, and the light on the f12 wifi key is always on. Please, any idea on how can I get my wifi adapter working? (it was working before in Windows 8.1) Thank you 

    Hi: Please do the following and I will post the link to the wireless card driver you need... Go to the Device Manager and click on the Network Controller device.  At the top of the Network Controller window, click on the Details tab. Now you see a Property drop down list that is defaulted to Device Description. Drop down on that and select the second item (Hardware ID's). Now you see 3-4 lines of characters, the top line starting with PCI\VEN. Post that top line of characters.

  • Satellite C855 Wifi Adapter not found

    I saw simliar posts but I still have not found the answer I am looking for. I have a C855 which was a best buy about 5 months ago. About 3 weeks ago, the wifi started to disconnect without warning. All my other 6 wifi connections (tv's and other devices) work fine to this day. It was tough to get restarted but eventually I did. (I could not tell you what I did, it seemed to have a mind of its own). About two weeks ago, the Realtek adapter quit showing up in device manager. I am thinking it is a hardware probelem. I don't recall any updates and my anti-virus was uptodate. I took it to my geek and they tried to update and troubleshoot it through the ethernet connection which works well. Their diagnosis was a software problem and suggested I "refresh" my computer. If it did not work, then diagnosis started at $199. I paid $350 for the computer. Of course, I refreshed it and nothing changed. Any suggestions before I go back to a Dell?

  • HP ENVY Rove 20 - Network Adapter not showing after Windows 10 Upgrade

    After upgrading to Windows 10 the Network Adapter does not show up. Verified in Device Manager that there is no issue and the driver is there. Removed the device from device manager, attempted to use a different driver, still no success.

    Really disappointed in HP for not being ready for W10 rollout.  I upgraded my HP Envy desktop PC 700-214 and after the upgrade, I could not connect to the internet.  Didn't recognize the networking hardware.  Went to HP Support (on different computer) and found out here aren't W10 drivers yet for this machine.  Very Poor.My wife has a Dell laptop and we have another older Dell that upgraded no problem.  Why because Dell is on top of their $__t when it comes to this stuff.Won't by HP again.Did you not try to reinstall the last support Drivers into Windows 10 to see if it works? Also with the lastest Windows HP will probably not support redoing drivers for older system as that will be cost prohibited to do. And it will be up to the Endusers to find the right drivers and software that matches their system to work with Windows 10 assuming they work with Windows 10. As to Dell that is something only Dell can answer that question and since we don't know if this is Dell Consumer or Business product since this falls outside of HP forums to discuss. You can't expect to have drivers if your system is too old to support Windows 10.

  • Sender File Adapter Not Showing in Decentral Adapter Engine

    Hi,
    We have recently implemented a Decentral Adapter Engine on a windows box. The adapter engine seems to be working fine because my adapters show and seem to work fine in it.
    However, when I define a Sender File Adapter that uses File Content Conversion message protocol instead of just File messaeg protocol, the adapter does not show up in the decentral adapter engine.
    I made sure that Adapter Engine parameter in the Sender File Adapter shows the new adapter engine but that does not seem to be working. If change the Adapter Enginer parameter to show the Central Adapter Engine, then I can see the Sender File Adapter on the Central Adapter engine and it works fine. (Note: The Central Adapter Engine is installed on a Unix box) 
    Here are the paramters I defined for the Sender File Adapter:
    - Transport Protocol: File System (NFS)
    - Message Protocol: File Content Conversion
    - Adapter Engine: (new Adapter Name)
    Source Directory: (

    Your help is much appreciated.

    Hi Alaa,
    look into this document:
    http://service.sap.com/nw-howtoguides -> Exchange Infrastructure -> Troubleshooting: Adapter Engine 3.0 (Expert Call slides)
    If the File Adapter works without conversion, then you should count the number of fields in a row. If it differs from the configuration, then it runs on error.
    Another idea is to check the content type of the file. When you do not enter a File Encoding, then the file adapter assumes utf-8. If the file is for example latin-1, then the number of characters in a row are not counted correctly.
    Regards
    Stefan

  • Decentral Adapter not showing up in RWB

    I have just installed a J2ee Decentral Adapter instance, configured the exchange profile to connect back to the main PI instance and connected it to the SLD (both the J2ee Decentral Adapter and main PI instance use the same SLD).
      One of the last steps is to check see if the Decentral Adapter shows up in the PI Instances Runtime Work Bench (RWB), but it does not.
      I've noticed that on the SLD, the J2ee Decentral Adapter shows up as a Technical System, but when going to the SLD > Administration > Content Maintenance > All Instances > Class: XI Adapter Framework, that only my main PI instances show up, not the recently installed J2ee Decentral Adapter.
      Anybody have any ideas of what else to check ?
    Thanks..SB

    Aaron,
    1.1 SAP XI AF CPA Cache are set at the defaults of the install.  The SLDAccess is set to true which according to the following SAP Help doc says that the entris are ignored: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/29/22ee41c334c717e10000000a155106/frameset.htm
    1.2 SLD DATA Supplier is set correctly.  I can do a CIM Test and trigger the data upload successfully.   Still no entry under the Content Maintenance though.
    2. SXI_CACHE > Adapter Engine still does not show the Decentral Adapter.  I've even bounced both systems and the SLD.
    per Chirag I've also double checked blog "Basic Steps In Decentralized Adapter Engine
    This Decentral adapter is in DMZ #1, so I must use the IP of my SLD for the SLD access and my Main PI is in DMZ #2.  I've checked to make sure ports 50000 and 3300 from Decentral to my PI system work - are there any other ports ? 
    Thanks...Scott B.

  • WiFi Adapter Not Detected

When I plugged in the dongle, it did not light up and my Mac did not even recognize it, but when I plugged it in to my Windows PC, it was recognized and working perfectly. The dongle is a D-Link DWA 150 (Link:http://us.dlink.com/products/connect/wireless-n150-usb-adapter/) Can anyone please help me?

  • 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.
