Intel Communities: Message List - Intel my wifi technology: Adapter is not found

Re: Intel my wifi technology: Adapter is not found

I just stumbled on this after my ASUS X53S ran into this problem this afternoon.

I knew that my laptop had been running and hibernating for a long time, so I decided to do a reboot. And when I rebooted, low and behold, I connected to having no internet connection and the "No supported Intel wireless network adapter was found" message in the Intel My Wifi Technology control panel with every button greyed out.

I have tried to uninstall and reinstall the adapter, I've tried enabling it and disabling it again, I tried the Microsoft fix, and all didn't work. You have no idea how frustrating this is. My computer only has two network adapters, one being the Intel Centrino Wireless-N 100 and the other being the Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller. I cannot connect to the internet at all on that computer.

Am I missing something? Is mine special? For I don't even have the option to get on the internet on my computer, and that is dumb.

Hello Adam,

This appears to be some kind of software corruption. You will probably need to uninstall and reinstall the driver. You may do it from programs and features or if possible the best option is to uninstall it from device manager and restart the computer. Please note this last step will delete your wireless network profiles managed by Windows*.

Another option is to use the Windows* system restore to a date when the computer was working properly.

I understand the inconvenience this issue may cause. Please accept our apologies.

We also have to understand some of the replies are old. Newer information may be needed as we have posted newer drivers recently. If the issue persists I would like to recommend the possibility to escalate the case with the computer manufacturer as an alternate route for a solution while we work on further updates.

Keep in mind Intel® WiDi compatible systems are advertised as such because the system must be validated by the computer manufacturer as WiDi ready or otherwise installing the required WiDi software may or may not work. It is for this reason that the required software comes preinstalled by the computer manufacturer.

@Joe_intel - the requested information regarding many issues has been given by numerous users in the past. however, you guys have not fixed a single issue regarding:

1. cursor problem

2. repeatedly asking for security code

3. adapter not found - forcing you to reboot everytime

Seriously? whats the use of reporting more issues? I have an idea - please make the platform and driver open source and we will test and debug things ourselves! Even college kids could write better drivers than the Widi team.

We are currently investigating this issue. Please keep in mind the general solution for it was already posted by Ileanak at the very beginning of this thread; however, at this time you may install an updated driver version compatible for your respective adapter.

Due to the amount of scenarios and possible causes we appreciate any further information you all may provide regarding the circumstances of this issue like system model, adapter model, driver version, operating system version and such.

My toshiba is having the same issue. I've tried a number of the proposed solutions, but I am still unable to 'enable' my intel wifi adapter. I'm not sure what to try next...
