Windows OSes usually apply a generic driver that allows systems to recognize the wireless component. However, in order to use all available features of this hardware, you must install the appropriate drivers. Enabling the wireless card allows systems to read chipset information and manufacturer name, as well as connect to a network without using an Ethernet cable.
Atheros Wireless Lan Driver Windows 10 Acer
Finally I decided to further investigate the current driver installed. Which happen to be the latest updated driver for my wireless adapter. However sometimes the latest drivers can cause problems. Many know that it is always important to update the drivers in your computer and laptop. But at the same it is also important to test the new drivers just in case it causes an issue instead of a solution.
In the following image you will see a list of the drivers from your laptop. Select a different driver and then click on Next button. This will change your wireless adapter to the driver selected. If everything goes well you will see a message displayed, letting you know your driver was updated successfully. It might even ask you to reboot your laptop. If it does simply restart your laptop.
Hi Clare, I am not sure why it has done that. Did you carry out any Windows updates prior to this issue happening? Are you wanting to reinstall all the drivers referring to your wireless card? Is your wireless still working or not?
Hey! My Asus laptop X553M is running on windows 10! I powered it up today and it won't show any available wifi networks, just a symbol for an Ethernet cable with a red "x" on the bottom of the screen. I've tried everything from resetting my network connections but nothing is working and I need the wifi up and running as soon as possible! Unsure if I should buy a wireless adapter to fix this problem (even though connecting to wifi has worked for over a year on this laptop). Any help would be appreciated, thanks!!
mikaylacallery , Make sure you are not in airplane mode, which disables WiFi. You could also try system restore to an earlier date when WiFi was working correctly to see if that helps. Another thing to try, go into settings,device manager, click network adapters, then click on the adapter that is your wireless WiFi. uninstall driver. Then right click on network adapters and click search for network adapters, it should automatically install it back. Try WiFi settings and connect. This is only one of the solutions from link below that you can try to fix your issue. 1st 2nd link troubleshooting WiFi, 3rd link is your manual. Good luck.
Step 2: In the Device Manager window, click on the Network adapter option. From the list of drivers that will open, make a right-click on the wireless adapter. On the context menu, select the Properties option.
Step 2: Just like the above solution, expand the Network adapters option. From the list of device drivers, make a right-click on the wireless driver. From the context menu, select the Update driver option.
You can also try to reinstall the WiFi driver on your PC. Reinstalling the driver will ensure the replacement of faulty or corrupt wireless network adapter driver. For this, you will need to delete the driver software first. Check out the steps:
in most of the cases, Asus laptop does not connect to the wifi because of the wireless network or windows settings issue. if you don't know how to fix it: here are the guide for you. you can apply it on your device.
