Laptop Wifi Not Working

1. Check the basics

First, it is important to check that your laptop’s Wi-Fi is turned on and that you are connected to the correct network. You should also ensure that your laptop is within range of the Wi-Fi signal. Additionally, check if other devices can connect to the same network without any issues.

2. Restart your laptop and router

If your Wi-Fi connection is still not working, try restarting your laptop and router. This simple step can often fix many connectivity issues.

3. Update your laptop’s drivers

Outdated or corrupted drivers can cause Wi-Fi connectivity problems. Updating your laptop’s drivers may fix the issue. You can usually do this by visiting your laptop manufacturer’s website and downloading the latest drivers for your laptop model.

4. Disable and re-enable Wi-Fi

Sometimes disabling and then re-enabling Wi-Fi on your laptop can help re-establish the connection. To do this, go to your laptop’s Control Panel, select Network and Sharing Center, and then click on Change Adapter Settings. Right-click on your Wi-Fi adapter and select Disable. After a few seconds, right-click again and select Enable.

5. Check for malware

Malware can interfere with your laptop’s Wi-Fi connection. Make sure your laptop has an updated antivirus program and perform a full scan.
