Hi everyone, I'm making this thread for my friend, who cannot connect to wifi on his PC at all.
He used a Netgear range extender, which plugged into a power outlet, and used an ethernet cable to plug into his PC. His old ethernet cable broke, and after purchasing the new one, his computer refused to show any adapters in the "Change adapter options" folder in settings.
We have tried a multitude of different fixes, including:
- Power cycling the PC (obviously)
- Resetting winsock catalog
- Windows network troubleshooter
- Network reset
- Power cycling modem/router
- Installing new drivers for internal wifi card
- Uninstalling wifi card in Device Manager and scanning for new hardware
His phone still connects to the internet just fine, its just that his computer refuses to pick up Wifi. He tried to wipe his PC entirely but it showed an error, which wouldn't allow him to. He uses a prebuilt computer (although I don't know which brand) that cannot access the BIOS.
Any suggestions are appreciated. Thank you
