I know this isn't a tech support site, but I've made threads on other forums and no one has responded for days. I need internet access on my work laptop, so I am desperate for answers. I have an HP 255 G4 laptop, and up until last week I have had uninterrupted and reliable wireless capabilities. Then I had lost any WiFi abilities, and my network adapter doesn't even detect any networks. Every other device in my house can connect to WiFi, and I have the latest drivers for the network adapter. When running Windows network diagnostics, I'm told to enable wireless capability. When I open the network connections window through the control panel however, it shows that wireless capabilities are enabled, but that there are no available networks.
What are your thoughts? I'm running Windows 7 professional.

WLAN AutoConfig service

sometime there are functions on the keyboard which turn on and off the wifi. it might work in a funk way and still be enabled but with the antenna off.

I will see what f12 does. Might have something to do with an airplane mode? Idk

Check for drivers. If that doesn't work open it up, and switch the wifi antenna to the other connector. You'll need a screw driver, a cellphone guitar pick, and/or prybar. Ther's videos online for your exact model.

Most common thing to die on a laptop. Just get a micro wifi adapter for $10.
