    Wireless Capability Turned Off


    This is my TV PC. HP Pavilion model p7-1219. It's been working grate for more then a year now but to day after work I lost WIFI. Here's a pic of the trouble shooter. I installed the Mobility Center from brinks post "Enable Windows Mobility Center on a Desktop Windows PC" No link you'll have to look it up. In the Mobility Center the wireless is grayed out. If this was a laptop it'd be anther story but it a tower! No FN key and no WIFI switch. For the life of me I can't figure this out. How do I turn the Wireless Capability ON. Any ideas??

    Hello Lance1,

    you have a HP machine. Then perhaps this thread is relevant/of use to you: Cannot turn Wireless On

    HP has a setting in the BIOS for LAN/WLAN Switching
    The OP says that going to this setting in the BIOS fixed the issue. I have no such setting in this BIOS. The WIFI card is recognized in the Control Panel and Network but "Not Connected". I pulled the WIFI card and boot up and shutdown reinsert and boot in hopes that it'll reset but no joy. All and any help welcome thank you.

    Lance1,

    For some reason I cannot see the attached image in your post #3.

    Never mind, what does Device Manager have to say about the Device Status?

    Hi Lance1,

    You could run my Problem_Devices batch script to find any problems and errors => Problem_Devices.bat.

    I hope this helps!

    From a command prompt window, type:
    netsh interface show interface
    - what is the State of the wifi interface?

    If you type
    ipconfig /release [adaptor]
    ipconfig /renew [adaptor]

    where [adaptor] is the interface name given by netsh interface show interface.

    What error message does these commands produce?
