Which network icon is showing in System Tray: the Wireless waves or Ethernet TV with plug? Left click to see if any Networks show up to sign into.

If not I'll give you everything else possible to try in order of priority so that hopefully something works: ĭownload and install the wireless driver, see if it now shows networks to connect. Go to the Acer Downloads page here and put in your Serial number from sticker on laptop to get the exact wireless adapter for your build. Plug in by ethernet to pull in the necessary drivers, these instructions and anything else needed. I'm Greg, an installation specialist, 9 year Windows MVP and Independent Advisor, here to help you. I need some help How can i fix this problem Any help would be greatly appreciated I don't want to Reset my laptop Because it will delete all my apps and programs And i'm not sure Resetting PC will fix this issue. My WiFi adapter is missing and not working. I thought my laptop would reinstall it automatically However i was wrong. So i clicked "properties" and it showed me this message "Currently, this hardware device is not connected to the computer. View>Show Hidden Devices and Action>Scan for hardware changesAfter these commands I found my Wireless adapter in Device manager However it looked like "Hidden file" and problem wasn't solved I tried to enable itīy using right click option However "enable" option wasn't there. However there was only "Ethernet icon" And Wireless connection icon was missingĪfter that i opened Device manager>Network Adapters I couldn't find any Wireless adapters So i did this Then i opened Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Network and Sharing Center - Change adapter settings There was only "Airplane mode" button (but button was grayed out and couldn't click) Yesterday i noticed that WiFi button & Mobile Hotspot buttons were missing when i clicked "Network icon" on taskbar. I don't know when this problem occurred because i was only using Ethernet connection and didn't check my WiFi connection I usually use WiFi connection But now i'm in different town and using Ethernet connectionĪs far as i can remember, two weeks ago, my laptop WiFi was working fine and then my laptop installed some windows updates I have Acer One-Z1402 laptop (Windows 10 pro Version: 4 Build-17134)

This should re-detect your wireless adapter) Select Uninstall ( this should only uninstall you driver software, not delete it).If you can see it, right-click on the adapter.If you can't see your Wireless adapter, go to step 11.Open Device Manager, open the drop-down Network adpaters.
