Re: no wifi
by Forum moderator Jan 31, 2013 4:46AM PST

What I read:
Wireless LAN adapter Wireless Network Connection:
Media State . . . . . . . . . . . : Media disconnected

Might be a hardware error. Or the WiFi is disabled by the WiFi switch (can be hardware or software). Or, after formatting, you didn't install the right driver or all needed software.

What I should do:
- study what the user manual says about enabling and disabling WiFi
- apply that knowledge after going back to factory conditions from the makers restore media
If no luck, it most likely is a hardware problem.

The clue so far
by Forum moderator Jan 31, 2013 4:47AM PST

Tells me that Windows 7, the OS is installed but not the drivers for your PC.

Given no make or model I can't offer more.

The mobile connection looks to be active so there is no reason to expect a WiFi connection to work. Didn't anyone warn you of that?

Then what is it?
by r. proffitt Forum moderator Jan 31, 2013 2:08PM PST

If other wifi networks work and this does not, you may be bumping into a known issue. I can't offer what it is yet because the router makers are still looking into it.

If folk can't supply details, that's OK.
