Win 7 Netbook Wifi gone and won't come back.....

[TableLeg]

Yes tried that a number of times.

Currently this situation has changed again as before it was recognising the network both wired and wireless and installing the drivers now it is failing to recognise the correct drivers and failing to install with an error.

Is there a way to remove ALL network drivers and start from scratch? Reg edit or a driver removal software something like that?

Which Network Card is showing up with no Driver ? ...

 

[TableLeg]

Yep tried that.

No difference. The networks drivers are recognised, installed, shows no conflicts.

It just doesn't work.

 

[maxie]

What is Ipconfig/all showing ?

 

[TableLeg]

It shows 2x Wireless and one wired networks. All 3 Media Disconnected.

 

[maxie]

Can you Read your first Post please ..... It is not that same as that now ? ...

 

[TableLeg]

With all the trying of uninstalling and removing drivers networks etc it has changed slightly, however as posted above that is the current info.

On the last reboot the network which was showing as no driver fixed itself on the reboot.

Still doesn't work in win 7 but works fine in Linux.

I wish there was an in depth way to remove all networks drivers and associated stuff so I could start from scratch but it doesn't seem there is.

In summary, Still no wifi in win 7, no networks found, wifi icon has a red cross on it. no conflicts in device manager.

It may be possible to get your Nano to work by using the Tutorial below ..

Be careful though of which Drivers you remove if you decide to follow the Tutorial ...

Thanks Maxie,

Going to try that now.

 

[TableLeg]

Unfortunately it made no difference at all

The Nano behaves exactly as it did previously, scans but cannot find any networks.

Go to the Network Controller select Property's / Advanced Tab ... What is the Value set at ? ...

 

[TableLeg]

If you mean in device manager/network/wireless lan it is as follows:

802.11d - Disable
Beacon interval - 100
Wireless mode - IEEE 802.11b/g/n

 

[maxie]

Needs to be set as Enabled ...

 

[TableLeg]

How? Those are the only 3 options.

 

[TableLeg]

In Network connections it says 'not connected' and under options I have 'disable'.

Go to the Device Manager / Network Controller select it right click select Property's / Advanced Tab .. Where it says Value there should be a drop down box set it to Enabled ..
