I have recently purchased a laptop (an asus k55v). Everything was fine, I could use wifi, but ever since I attached a network cable to my laptop I have not been able to use my wifi. My computer cannot detect wifi. I tried turning it on and off, restarting my pc, system restoring it to a week ago. Please help.
Thanks in advance.
Welcome to Seven Forums,
Have you tried connecting to Public Wi-Fi's(including unsecured networks) and not just from your own Wi-Fi to see if you're able to replicate the issue?
Can you please run the Network Troubleshooter tool from your computer?
Using the Network troubleshooter in Windows 7

Thanks for helping, I can't connect to any wifi network. It simply doesn't detect them at all.
When I run it, it tries to connect to microsoft.com, but fails.
Apologize for the late reply...
Can you see if your laptop has an On/Off wireless switch or button or the F key with the wireless antenna symbol, then press it?
Ok, so I tried that, but it didn't work. So I tried running the troubleshooter again, and apparently this time it found the problem. The problem was the wifi adapter was off. I'm not sure why the wifi button didn't work, also It's wierd how my wifi turns off whenever I use a cable connection. Anyway, thanks for your help in fixing this problem.
That's great news and You're Welcome! :)
