Packard Bell OneTwo L5800 (L17623UK)
Hi. I'm putting this issue down to a recent Win 10 upgrade (2004) after which my WiFi option disappeared.
If I go to Settings > Network & Internet Status, the WiFi option isn't there.
In Device Manager 'Network Controller' has a yellow '!' and clicking on this says 'driver not installed'. Trying to install/update a driver returns "Windows was unable ti install your Network Controller'.
Under Network Adapters, there's a list of 'WAN Miniports (with 'IKEv' etc) but I can find no reference under 'Devices' for a WiFi adaptor.
I've tried locating drivers for the RT3090 from the Microsoft download site, but these give me '.cab' files which mean nothing to me.
I don't know if this is a software (ie driver or similar) issue or my WiFi card has just gone kaput - is there any way for me to check this other than replacement?
If I do get another card - which I'm more than happy to do - is there a more recent equivalent which should hopefully have more up-to-date drivers too? My PC is a 2010 model, but is absolutely perfect for my everyday needs with its i3 and a recent SSD - it boots up in a few seconds and does every normal duty I ask of it without complaint.
Many thanks.
