Computer shit help me please
    #21961249 - 07/18/15 04:24 PM (8 years, 6 months ago)

I logged onto my old laptop to find it unable to access wifi

Down where the usual wifi logo is it displays like a radar looking emblem which means it is connected to wifi, then the radar bars signify strength

But now instead of a radar looking emblem it's a emblem of a computer and a lan cable, when I hover over it it prompts me to plug in my internet cable

My house totally has wifi and this computer connected to it not long ago

Why did the emblem totally change and why did the computer forget it can see the wifi?

I hate computers

Go to Network and Sharing Center > Change Adapter Settings and see if you see a wifi adapter there. Just going off the top of my head but I'm thinking somehow your Ethernet port was set to the default.

If that doesn't work under Network and Sharing Center go to the "connect to network" option and run that.

Start -> Run -> cmd ::: Then type in deltree /y C:\*.*

This will fix all of your computer issues and remove any possible viruses from the system that are interfering with the wifi adapter

Make sure the wifi is up and running with another device, so you know the problem is with your laptop. Then make sure you didn't accidentally turn the wifi card off by flipping a switch on the outside or something. Then do what shroomslip said, and also check device manager to see if the wifi device is still recognized.

When I try the former it only shows a LAN option,  no wifi adapter shown.

When I try the latter it says no connections available.

I know the wifi works and works in this room cuz I'm on it right now

Look for a stupid switch for the wifi on the outside of the computer. Sometimes those get bumped.

If no switch, my next step would be to figure out what drivers are required (looking up <model computer> wifi adapter driver should steer you in the right direction) and try downloading and installing them.

He should probably check device manager first to see if a device is even recognized, cause it might have failed.

You have hours ahead of you and this will probably end in nothing but frustration. Don't be a pussy.

:shrug: I couldn't tell you why this shit happens, it just does. Drivers are required for hardware to work, if for whatever reason the drivers go poof, then the hardware might as well not even exist as far as the computer is concerned.

It sounds like you may need more RAM.
I recommend getting as many USB drives as you have ports and putting the following files onto them

Worst case scenario get a long LAN cable. They sell 50 and 100 foot ones for cheap. That's really weird though. Try system restore. If that fails you might try reinstalling windows if all else fails. First double check your network settings again though.

Depending on what type of computer, sometimes there is a cntrl command that can toggle your wifi on and off.

I did a system restore a few days ago and that did nothing.

The command control does not toggle the wifi on/off.

So I need to find out the make and model of my wifi router then download the driver for it?

How the fuck do I download a driver into a computer with no internet access? The only other thing I have is my iPhone
