HP Envy 13: Nic is missing wireless adapter can be seen

This is a question about the new HP envy 13 aluminium which was released in October 2015

I turned on my laptop today and noticed that my network card is gone without NIC included except a bluetooth device.

I went into the Device Manager and noticed that he was missing the wireless lan device. I tried to add material, but he could not find the wireless network card.

I did a full install of Windows 10 using HP to restore back to factory default, but he did not always see the NIC

I went into the bios and noticed that when I watched the boot order there was an exclamation next to the lan device.

Any help would be appreciated

He had all the latest updates applied

Hello seamusobr ;

Let me welcome you on the HP forums!

I read your post on your wireless network card problem and wanted to help.

At first, it read as if you were yet another victim of the now infamous day Win10-auto-driver-updates problem where the PC works fine until suddenly one day, this isn't - and in the sense, MS has automatically installed a damaged driver in your PC - without your consent.

But, a factory reset SHOULD have restored the drivers of the original (probably working) and would have had to go back to the WiFi features.

So my suspicion is a hardware failure - we can do anything in this forum.

My suggestion, this machine is probably still under warranty, given that you contact HP customer care directly to explore alternative options, maintenance and repair:

If you live in the United States or the Canada, details are on this page: http://www8.hp.com/us/en/contact-hp/phone-assist.html#section1

If you live elsewhere, contact details are on this page: http://www8.hp.com/us/en/contact-hp/ww-contact-us.html

Good luck

  • ENVY of HP dv7 - 7243cl wireless adapter issues

    Hi all

    I have recently purchase a refurbished HP ENVY dv7-7243 CL overall I am satisfied with the product with the exception of a massive show. I have serious problems with the edge of network card range. I'm holding the phone right next to the router and I get only 3 of the 5 bars. It is not a router problem as I have several other devices that connect perfectly across the House. Any help at all is greatly appreciated.

    EDIT: I uninstalled and then reinstalled the driver, nothing helps.

    Had the same problem and support has me remove the cover back, then reconnect the wireless antennas.  Went well after that.  Suggest that you call the assistance for this info on how to do it properly.  I'm sure you will agree that it's a quality issue with a new machine.

  • HP 15-r099sm (Ralink RT3290 Wireless Adapter) can't find my WiFi network

    I bought my HP 15 a few days ago and since yesterday (after that I restarted) it does not find my network. Also, sometimes he finds all the surrounding networks, sometimes one or two, sometimes none, but it never shows mine.

    All my other devices connect to the network just fine and also when I connect to the laptop via a cable internet Ethernet works normally. I tried to reinstall the card and the driver, but nothing happens, the problem is still there. What should I do?

    Hey xdujex,

    Indeed, it is quite confusing.

    The only other things I could suggest would be to restore the laptop to until the problem started. I know your laptop is fairly new but it might help to avoid being without the unit while for repair isn't worth it.

    If this does not work, you can try a system restore to wipe everything and see if the problem comes back. Save your information and give it a try.

    If it does not solve the problem that the next step would be to ask the HP support by phone for service options. You can contact HP Technical Support at 1-800-474-6836 in North America. For all other regions click here.

  • Cannot install Wireless Adapter (card NETWORK or USB key) to the Pavilion p6340a Win 7 Home Prem

    I removed a work card TP-Link to a Pavilion a1300a XP Home PC network to put in my Pavilion p6340a Win 7 (64-bit) Home Prem PC.

    Download and install the current drivers of TP-Link.
    Installed everything well and the adapter can be seen in sub "Change adapter settings" in network and sharing Center and shows as working properly in Device Manager, but it is not recognized as a network within the network and sharing Center.

    Under "Manage wireless networks'" nothing appears, if I then click on Add"then manually create network profile" "I then get an informative message '" an unexpected error occurred'. "

    Suspect a problem with the NETWORK card, I uninstalled it and its drivers and tried to install a USB wireless adapter with the same exact result and the error message. It seems that there must be an OS problem or something stopping the wireless to work. USB adapter both NIC work properly when installed on the former Pavilion a1300a XP Home PC. NETWORK card and USB adapter are the current drivers for Win7.

    All the ideas it driving me crazy. A simple 5 minutes on any other PC task turned into many.many hours without solution.

    After many hours of uninstall re install & try everything under the Sun in many forums, I finally found a solution. Despite trying with firewall disabled at different times was the final fix

    1. Uninstall NETWORK card and USB drivers and devices.
    2. Then uninstall the AntiVirus (in this case AVG Internet Security)
    3. Reinstall the NETWORK card and drivers
    4. Reinstall AntiVirus

    Tried the USB adapter as well so that the antivirus has been uninstalled and installed no. with problems.

    Everything works very well.

  • Missing wireless network adapter

    HI -.

    I've seen a number of similar questions but no solution to my problem.

    My system:
    Toshiba A505-S6980
    Windows 7 Home Premium - 64-bit
    Realtek WLAN driver

    Problem:
    After the resumption of a sleep, the network adapter dissappeared.  This has happened before and they have replaced the computer, after trying a system restore and recovery then full.  Apparently, it is not the computer.

    The wireless adapter is missing in Device Manager, even less space network and connections.  To solve the problems, the computer simply says that a network cable needs to be connected.  There is no choice under wireless network connections.  It has no label adapter wireless on right click of the NIC in Device Manager.

    Realtek WLAN driver appears in the list programs & features.  I uninstalled, reinstalled and also found/installed a patch for the pilot.  It did not work.  I have also started/automated wireless auto configuration scripts.  Nothing works.

    Any help is appreciated.

    -Tucson56

    This same thing happened to me. What are the causes it to happen is very low battery, but has found a simple solution to turn back on the wireless network card.

    Hold the Windows key and press x

    menu should appear

    Click on Device Manager

    must go to a list of devices on your computer

    Expand the network adapters in the list

    Maybe a little choice but look for 2 people with the same name. one for the wifi and the other for ethernet

    Double click on the wireless network card

    Click the power management tab

    Click on the tab that allows wifi to be off with low battery

    Click the tab drivers and turn on the device

    should be fine from there

  • Want to M6 1225DX: updated HP Envy M6 1225DX wireless adapter

    I'm looking to upgrade the card wireless in my HP Envy M6 1225DX.  Here are a few features on the machine:

    Product # D1E93UA #ABA

    CPU: Intel i5 - 3230M @ 2.6GHz

    RAM: 8 GB DDR3 SDRAM

    GPU: Intel HD graphics 4000

    Wireless: Ralink RT5390R 802.11bgn Wifi adapter

    OS: Windows 7 x 64 (I know that HP does not support this)

    BIOS version: F.26

    The wireless adapter that is currently installed (Ralink RT5390R) only supports SISO and the download speed tops out around 18-20Mbps.  I'm looking to replace this card with a card compatible MIMO and bluetooth, for example a 7260 Intel.

    I read on several forums that HP basically whitelists some cards wireless in BIOS.  I have reviewed the maintenance manual and it has a list of compatible cards I listed below:

    • Atheros WiFi 802.11b/g/n 1 × 1 9485GN and 3012 adapter Bluetooth 4.0
    • Atheros 802.11b/g/n 1 × 1 Bluetooth adapter Combo WB225
    • Broadcom 4313GN 1 × 1 WiFi and Bluetooth 4.0 adapter 802.11b/g/n 20702
    • Module Intel Centrino Advanced-N WLAN 6230
    • MediaTek MT7630E 802.11bgn Wi - Fi adapter and adapter Mediatek Bluetooth 4.0
    • 1 × 1 Ralink RT5390R 802.11b/g/n WiFi adapter
    • RALink RT3290LE 802.11b/g/n WiFi and Bluetooth 4.0 Combo Adapter 690020-001 1 × 1
    • Atheros AR9565 1 × 1 WiFi + Bluetooth 4.0 Combo Adapter 802.11b/g/n
    • Module Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6235 WLAN for the Japan only

    These are the only cards I can run in this machine?  I also read somewhere that HP no wireless adapter like whitelisting in the BIOS, and if that's the case, would a BIOS update fixed this problem?

    I've been watching the 7260 Intel, but I don't know if it would work and would not order it and he has no job.   This adapter could work in this phone or I am I'm confined to the list given in the service manual?  If I'm limited to the above list, no matter what recommendatins to the adapter that will give me what I'm looking for?

    Basically, what I'm looking for in a wireless adapter is:

    • Supports A/B/G/N and AC at 2.4 Ghz and 5.8 Ghz bands.
    • More high speed possible
    • Bluetooth 4.0
    • 1/2 height Mini PCIe form factor

    Thanks for the help

    Hello

    Thank you for visiting the HP Forums! A place where you can find solutions for your problems with the help of the community!

    I stumbled upon your post on the laptop and wanted to help you! I looked in your question about your m6-1225dx HP ENVY Notebook and supported wireless cards. Yes, these are the cards that are supported in your notebook and fortunately will work with your graphics card and processor.  Some say that just restore BIOS to factory default help if you decide to go with your choice.

    You could restore the BIOS withthis document by selecting the reload the default BIOS settings.
