Wifi not turning back on Packard Bell

Question

Hello,

I’m having a problem with a Packard Bell laptop: the Wi-Fi remains disabled and the icon to reactivate it has disappeared. The Windows troubleshooting says to press the "Wi-Fi activation key," which is the one on the keyboard, but nothing happens. I’m currently using a Wi-Fi box connected via USB to the laptop, but a laptop is supposed to be portable, and this problem prevents me from taking it anywhere without this Wi-Fi box.

I’m looking for someone who can give me a hint on some software manipulation (the Wi-Fi card is functional since it’s detected during the Windows troubleshooting), whatever it may be.

Best regards,
Sincerely, Baptiste.

P.S.: The PC is running Windows 8 (not 8.1).

Hello everyone,

Have you tried the FN key and for example F2 (that's just an example) to reactivate the wifi?

Following what you said:

press the "wifi activation key"

Best regards

hi  PS: The PC is running Windows 8 (not 8.1)  Does the Ethernet connection (via RJ45 cable) work?  See you later  -- the radiation level is higher at the unemployment office than at Chernobyl

ok, with Windows Update, your PC should have been on W8.1 for a long time

check in the device manager what you have in network card

re

In the network card, I have:

- Qualcomm Atheros AR5B125 Wireless Network Adapter
- Qualcomm Atheros AR8151 PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet Controller (NDIS 6.30)
- Realtek RTL8188EU Wireless LAN 802.11n USB 2.0 Network Adapter

It seems strange to me that there are 2 Wi-Fi cards, could you give me the model of your PC

and whether it is 32 or 64 bits

PS: Did you see Aunt Elise's message about activating the Wi-Fi?

Hi

I think your PC is this model >> LE11BZ

See if you can give me the serial number (S/N)

In the device manager, do you have any ? or /!\ in yellow

Right-click on the Wifi card and choose "enable"
