Upgraded a laptop (Windows 7) to Windows 10 a few days ago. Now I have the problem that the Wi-Fi can no longer be activated. I can switch the settings on "Wlan" the Schlater, but it does nothing. Goes out of its own accord. No networks are recognized either.
Device Manager:
Network adapter:
Intel (R) Centrino (R) Wireless-N 135
Realtek PCIe FE Family Controller
WAN Miniport (IKEv2)
"" (IP)
"" (IPv6)
"" (L2TP)
"" (Network Monitor)
"" (PPPOE)
"" (PPTP)
"" (SSTP)
Can jmd help further?
Is there a Wi-Fi nearby?
Go to the device manager and right-click to open the properties of your network adapter, now go to power management and remove the checkmark from "Computer can switch off the device to save energy"
I would reinstall the network driver. Maybe drivers for Windows 10 are offered directly on the website of the notebook manufacturer. You would then have to download the driver from another device, if necessary also from a cell phone and then transfer it to your laptop.
On the homepage you will have to search for the model of your laptop or alternatively for the serial number. If you don't know the exact model name of your laptop, open the command prompt (cmd) and enter systeminfo there. At the top right you can see the model name for the system model.
If the serial number is requested instead on the homepage, then enter wmic bios get serialnumber in the command prompt.
If that doesn't help, I would reset the network settings.
To do this, open the command prompt (cmd) as administrator (right click => Run as administrator). You can find it via Windows search. Then execute the following commands:
netsh winsock reset
netsh int ip reset
ipconfig / release
ipconfig / renew
ipconfig / flushdns
netcfg -d
Then restart your laptop.
Then you should download and install the Wireless N 135 driver for Win 8/10 from the Intel site.
Thanks for your answer, but everyone should think of it by now, right?
