Solved Help! Limited connectivity because of wireless network adapter

[Shakibaaaa]

Hey,
Last night I uninstalled ad-aware and then I lost my internet connection. It keeps on saying: "limited access". I found a driver with a yellow exclamation mark in network adapters and I accidentally uninstalled it and made everthing worse-_- I don't even remember its name and when I scan for hardware changes, it doesn't appear.
Btw, there isn't any restore points on my laptop.

So your Network Adapter is missing from the Device Manager ? ...


First check in the BIOS to see if it is Enabled ..


If that does not help try the following ... Shut down your Laptop remove the power adapter ... And the battery press start hold down for five seconds ... Reassemble and see if that Helps ...


If none of the above work Reset the BIOS ...

Hey! Thank you for your reply.
did that and it didn't work. How do I reset my bios now? Would it help if I reinstall my windows?

Oh and when I try to install the drivers software again, it says: driver software wasn't successfully installed

 

[maxie]

Under Advanced in the BIOS you should see Network ... What is listed under that section ? ...

 

[Shakibaaaa]

Only "intel(R) vitualization technology" which is enabled

 

[maxie]

Is this Device working >>>> Realtek® PCIe GBE Family Controller ? ....

 

[Shakibaaaa]

In the device manager I can find it and it's OK but in network and sharing centre it has a red cross besides it

 

[maxie]

You do not use the Lan connection then ? ...


Check to see if the following Services are running ..


Start search type Services.msc



Network Location Awareness


Network List Service

 

[Shakibaaaa]

Their both status is "started" and the startup type is Automatic for both. Means they're running.
