Last weekend I upgraded it to Windows 10 Home 64x and everything went well, except for my wifi. The point is, I cannot activate my wifi - neither via button nor via system options. According to that issue, there are no wifis displayed. Nevertheless, my wifi-card is displayed as active (with latest driver) on the device manager and it is the Intel Centrino Wireless-N 1030.

I have already tested whether there is a general issue concerning my internet, but obviously there is none since it works perfectly fine with a wifi-stick and with a direct connection to my router. Hence, I assume it must be a driver issue. Unfortunately, Windows didn't provide me with a driver for my wifi so I tried to install one manually...

- downloaded and installed the "latest" driver from the Medion homepage (since I live in Germany, I accessed the German homepage for my OS - the latest driver is still for Win 7 and I think quite old fashioned)

- disabled and uninstalled the wifi card on the device manager (after having rebooted my notebook the card was displayed as active again - like before - without having obtained a fresh driver update by Windows)

So, unfortunately, everything I have tried has failed and I am running out of ideas as to what to do next... My question thus would be if anybody has a clue how to solve the issue or whether there will be a driver update available for my wifi card soon?

So, for now I have switched back to Windows 7 where my wifi works fine again. But now I have another (minor) issue going on: I have installed the wifi driver which is provided by Medion (and is - like I said - not quite the latest...). Here, wifi works! But when I try to download and install the latest drive via the Intel Update Utility (it actually detects one), a message pops up saying something like "Installation blocked - try to uninstall the old driver manually". When I do so and then give it another try, that message still pops up. Do you have an idea why this is the case? It's not that problematic since my wifi is also okay with the older driver. I'm just wondering...

I am running the N1030 Wireless Card on Windows 10. I am running Intel driver version 15.11.0.9 and it works fine for me. Download and save it locally then use Browse my computer fro driver software and manually install it.

WiFi does not pass through windows with metallic film. Brand does not matter. The WiFi access point needs to be located where the signal will pass through building materials more suitable for transmission.

If by thermal coated you are referring to double panes that have an additional thermal layer coated on the window (transparent conductive oxide - aviator look) then yeah, WiFi won't pass thru that. We have thermal insulated (argon filled) double panes with low-E glass and UV-protection and WiFi (RBR750) passes just fine.

Our windows are a Milgard product. They are using argon gas to prevent locked-in water/moisture from appearing with temperature changes. The small open-space stucco wire is working like a solid Wifi Faraday shield.

I've tried to use house wiring conduit, but none of the products I've tried will work well enough to capture the Wifi from a nearby repeater so that it is broadcast into the electric socket wire to a companion plug on the other side of the wall where it should broadcast access.

None of these solutions deal with the "mesh" issue. This WiFi access point can have the identical WiFi SSID/password as the main WiFi system and the main system can assign IP address, perform Parental Controls, etc. but it will be a separate WiFi network. Devices will not roam seamlessly between inside and outside. If the difference in signal level is so dramatic that going outside cuts off access to the inside WiFi entirely, then the device will look around and say, "Oh boy. Here's a WiFi that I know the password to" and connect. If the signal is bad, but not bad enough, the spouse will say, "why is my iPad so SLOW? Oh, right, I have to reconnect to WiFi."

It is sort of frustrating that Netgear abandoned this marketing niche. The original Orbi had an outdoor rated satellite, with outdoor rated power supply, that totally meshed with the main WiFi system. (RBS50Y). But, it "meshed" only with that original Orbi. Netgear never released an Outdoor product compatible with the newer Orbi "AX" and newest WiFi6E systems.

I would probably read up on the TP-Link EAP225 Outdoor and the HERAID. For under $100 you can get one of these gizmos and a 50-ft Ethernet cable and "see how it goes". Who is going to notice a tiny hole in the wall?

I dual booted Ubuntu 17.10 in my windows 10.While working in windows wifi works fine! But in Ubuntu it is always showing "No wifi adapter found, Make sure you have a wifi adapter plugged and turned on"Not getting any solutions online! Tried some of them but not working! Help please

Following the guide (Windows 11 Installation on the Framework Laptop DIY Edition - Framework Guides) I used the media creation tool on a usb stick. The install on the laptop with that worked until the wifi connection screen during the setup process.

Got it, that seems to have worked.
The guide mentions that there is a workaround for needing a network connection, I assumed it should just work from the point before. Might be good to rephrase that a bit if someone from the team sees this.

I have had the Deco M5 mesh system in my home for about 8 months now and love it, except... I have one laptop running Windows 10 which is able to connect to the network but not to the internet. The laptop is less than a year old and I have no issues with any other wifi network other than this one.

I found a post of a guy who has a similar sounding issue, but there was no resolution in the forum thread. He said he was able to connect using a guest network, which I tried and it works, but this is less than ideal. -link.com/en/home/forum/topic/112219

@ Jonow6 Hello! I was able to solve the problem with windows 10. In the Advanced Menu, there is an option that says Operation Mode. Just change from Router Mode to Access Point. With this, all my windows 10 devices connected wihtout problem. I hope it helps you.

@Jonow6 Hi - I had the same issue with my laptop and used the method you suggested and its worked. Only issue is that none of the parental controls work now - did you find a way of fixing this without using the access point? Ive also had to go onto all Alexas and re add the network. It is working but at a cost :(

So I have a friend who's having trouble with Hamachi I figured I'd try to help him out since he's not as computer savvy as I am. His issue routes from Hamachi blocking his Network 1 Wifi, blocking it off completely at times; for an hour or more sometimes. I'm not sure what the complete issue is as I've not had issues with this but it may be that his computer is super old 8+ years and that may be why there's conflicting issues but I want to be sure before I tell him he probably has to buy a new PC since on the market they're expensive, his was a custom build, runs Windows 10. If you have a fix to this problem I'd much appreciate it!

Whenever I want to connect a wifi connection after moving my laptop Hamachi does everything it can to make me not be able to access internet at all. The only way I've been able to bybass it is if I restart my laptop and Disable the **bleep** HAMACHI Ethernet port albeit it wanting to use Hamachi for stuff this **bleep** is **bleep**ING annoying As hell.

I think Hamachi has royally screwed up my computer ever since I uninstalled it. I installed on Oct. 18th because I know it's an easier solution than port forwarding and setting up a static IP, but I had a few problems with it a couple days ago so I uninstalled / reinstalled, and had it working again until last night.

I turned off the automatic startup for Hamachi, but when I turned my computer on yesterday I didn't have wifi at all. I checked my network adapters, nothing but Hamachi / Ethernet. My other computers in the house were working fine. So I tried to turn on Hamachi to see if it would help, tried resetting, nothing. Next I uninstalled it, restarted, still no wifi. Now my computer only had an ethernet adapter and no hamachi adapter. I did some more digging and went into my devices, it didn't show up there either until I found out it was hidden. Clicked properties, and got error 45 : "Currently, this hardware device is not connected to the computer. (Code 45)" ??????

Now I'm really confused, because this is a brand new laptop, never been bumped touched dropped etc and it's been working perfectly fine until hamachi, so I know it's not a direct hardware problem. I found only two other people by googling that had the same problem, one never found a solution, and the other couldn't find a fix besides a system restore. I tried everything, made sure Hamachi was fully uninstalled, checked my registry, did an sfc / dism scan, tried updating my drivers, EVERYTHING. Nothing worked.

Finally I decided to just uninstall the drivers through the device manager, and reinstall them...but it never showed up again since then. It's completely gone, not detected, not hidden anymore, completely vanished. Luckily I don't have a huge amount of things I needed to pull off my laptop, so I've got everything except my work program on an external drive, and plan to reformat in the next few days once I transfer that to my work computer. If anyone has any ideas on how to fix this until then though I'm all ears...I've had nothing but trouble from this program, even when I used to use it years ago...this is the worst computer problem I've ever had though, praying it didn't completely fry my adapter somehow and everything just fixes itself on a full restore..
