Hello HP employees, I hope you all are doing well.
Recently I did a clean installation of windows 11 on my HP laptop from a Authorised HP service centre since then and before my wifi option not showing up in task menu or in setting options sometime it's available sometime it's not which very frustrating please help me to fix it and by the way my wifi adapter is perfectly fine when I open the device manager my wifi is hidden in the networking and it says some error with Code 45 I don't know what to do. If you have any fix please let me know.

The only other suggestion I can offer would be to uninstall the hidden Realtek Wi-Fi adapter, check the uninstall driver box, restart the PC, hopefully the Wi-Fi adapter will show up as not hidden, and you can update the driver.

Can you please tell me if their is a way to enable it in bios and something or I just download it from Intel or Realtek itself their is something we need to do about this please help me currently my wifi doesn't even showing up in the device manager like it's not even their in the first place I tried to reset it and I just updated windows 11 22h2 I also ping 127.1.1.1 and ping 127.1.0.0.1 and hardware is perfectly fine it is responding in cmd I also tried netsh winsock reset.

I've just built a Win98 macchine, based on a MS6163 motherboard, a Coppermine Celeron 1000MHz on slotket, 128MB of RAM, nVidia GeForce4 MX440 GPU, SoundBlaster AWE64 sound card. I mainly use this machine with Impulse Tracker and Audacity and I usually download IT, MOD, S3M, WAV and MP3 files from a FTP server on the Web. This PC can't be connected via Ethernet to the router because is located in a different room, so I'd like to install a WLAN card. I round many cards:

- PCI Intellinet Wireless G Network Adapter (Ralink RT2560 chip): set up driver and utility, but in Device Manager shows a Code 10 error and the utility can't find the card. Tried many versions, none worked.

- USB ZyXEL G-202: on attached disk, there wasn't 9x driver, but the box and the user guide say that it is fully compatible with 98SE and ME. ZyXEL website provides driver, but no Wireless utility. Code 10 in Device Manager.

No adapter worked. I did a last try: RTL8193 Fast Ethernet PCI card. Code 10, Realtek diag tool doesn't detect the card. Then, Kingston KNE20BT 10BaseT ISA card, Code 10. Same thing with RTL8026AS ISA Adapter.

However, it is strange that *all cards*, even those for which you found the Windows 98 drivers result in a Code 10, it sounds like there is a "common issue" somehow related to the PCI bus or to some other subsystem.

I'll try the USB ZyXEL: on the attached disk there are only NT drivers and utilities, from 2K to 7. On the side of the box, "Compatible with Windows 98SE/ME/2000/XP/Vista/7". I'll search the web for the right files for 9x.

At this point, I think I have a corrupted version of NDIS on my Win98 setup disk. It sounds weird, because my old Latitude is was OK, my ThinkPad is OK and the VM on my main desktop is OK and I used the same disk.

Hope this topic helps; how to obtain WPA2 if your wireless device's utility doesn't include it (The wireless device must have G). Also includes some alternative wireless devices other users of MSFN use.

you can use wsc gaurd 4.0 utility with some wifi cards to connect to routers today that use up to wpa2, you can do this by selecting the wpa option with aes encrpytion, typing password, and connect with a supported wifi card. problem is, you have to experiment and find which cards work or don't work. the cards below were NOT supported by wsc gaurd 4.0 -

the Rosewill RNX-G300LX pci wireless card mentions windows 98SE as supported but i don't know 100 percent if it would work with the modern settings used in routers today as i never tested it myself. there is one pci wireless card in specific which was mentioned from somewhere with wpa2 support on 98SE, the name of the file was i think "DWL-g520_drv_revB_Version-4.40-wpa2" and the version of the driver i think was "4.1.2.723". this one probably has direct wpa2 support but i never tested this card either.

I'm currently using a D-Link AirPlus XtremeG DWL-G520 PCI card that supports WPA2 on Windows 98 SE. So far, I haven't had any problems with this card at all, though it was difficult to find the older Windows 98 compatible driver for it. I also have a HiRO H50069 PCI card (with Realtek RTL8185 chipset) which also supports WPA2 on Windows 98 SE, but I don't recommend this one because the Realtek utility is extremely buggy and wastes CPU usage. It might work better in Windows 2000, though. I'm not even sure how old these cards are. I just got them from my uncle's old desktops that he no longer uses any more. Both of the cards are able to connect with WPA2 to my AT&T U-verse router that was installed this year and have Wireless G support. I posted about these HERE.
The issue about the system locking up when using OpenGL is completely unrelated to the Wi-Fi card, and was fixed by updating the BIOS.

Maybe it is easier to get any common Ethernet card working in a Win98 computer and connect it with a cable to a Wlan router, which is configured in station/client mode to access the wireless network. This eliminates need for wi-fi-specific utilities that can be unstable or slow the system down.

I am having problems with Bluetooth on my pc not even being visible to turn off and on, it's not showing up in the device manager but if I go to & apps and features it shows there is a driver installed but nothing showing up. When I originally had my PC running on windows 11 my bluetooth was there and working since doing updates that DST has told me to do I performed the latest for my bluetooth to disappear completely.

I have a Intel(R) Wi-Fi 6E AX210 160MHz driver installed for my wireless however no matter what combination I have tried whether it was a fresh install of the drivers (removing them, restarting computer with no internet connection and then installing the drivers manually) which failed and the DST is showing my device drivers as up to date. I have also tried rolling back the driver which did not work and I really do not want to have to fresh rebuild my entire operating system already but I am getting to a loss on how to resolve this.

In this case, we would recommend first checking the BIOS settings in case there is an option related to the Bluetooth that might be disabled or Off. For this task, we recommend reviewing your computer's User Manual or contacting ASUS* Support for proper assistance.

If such as Bluetooth setting is Enabled/On, we recommend trying a clean installation of both Bluetooth and Wireless drivers. The driver or software for your Intel component might have been changed or replaced by the computer manufacturer, therefore, we recommend trying this first with the customized drivers from Asus* website. Please download and save the following drivers:

I have tried these steps however it seems that every time I uninstalled the driver it wouldn't remove, when it finally removed and stayed removed from the device manager I restarted and checked it hadn't reappeared which it had not, I tried to install the ASUS drivers to which did not even appear to install the devices whatsoever. It literally did nothing when trying to run and running it as administrator. I even restarted the computer to check they didn't need a restart.

I then tried the fresh install of the Intel drivers as advised as the secondary drivers to install. The Bluetooth driver seemed to install however is still not displaying in the device manager (please see attached screenshot of the device manager (this is set to show hidden devices too)) yet it shows installed on the Apps and features (please see attached apps & features) I then tried to reinstall the WIFI driver and it keeps failing to install and no longer lists the device in the device manager.

4- Check Device Manager, if you see entries regarding Wireless and Bluetooth, try to manually remove the drivers following the Clean installation articles: (if you don't see these entries, skip to the next step)

I tried the above as asked nether the less and still neither device works. Looking at my device manager now it appears that only one of my 2 ethernet ports are functioning properly too. (Please see attached ethernet port error.png).

I first of all disconnected from the internet and removed all the intel software listed above with discarding the settings (please see attached apps&features.png) I then rebooted the computer and opened device manager and removed all the wireless drivers and bluetooth drivers until they had completely disappeared and did not show up again. I then cleared all temporary files using check disk and the system temporary files too.

I then restarted my computer and attempted to install the ASUS drivers which did nothing, I then went into device manager and manually added the device driver which gave the following results (please see bluetoothinstall.png). I checked device manager and saw no bluetooth still but decided to try the wireless install which gave the following results (please see WI-FI install.png). however nothing appeared in the device manager after scanning for hardware changes still nothing so I restarted the computer.

I then opened device manager again and noticed that it has installed the device as a "network controller" listed under the other devices (please see attached Other.png) category. I then uninstalled this and repeated the process this time for the intel drivers to which has done the exact same and has now left my ethernet driver showing the above mentioned image ethernet port error.png

When you restarted the computer, did you have internet access completely disabled? If not, you are going to have Windows Update step in and install the same junk as before. You need to ensure this that you have no internet connection until after you have manually installed the various driver packages that you have downloaded.
