Wi-Fi and Bluetooth Options Are Missing in Laptops (ASUS TUF F17)—Problem SolutionIs
there any solution to this problem, and can the Wi-Fi option be restored on your
laptop? So yes, there is a 100% solution to this problem, which is told to you
in the article below. In this article, we have told you some important methods
to fix the missing Wi-Fi and Bluetooth option problem, using which you can get
rid of this problem. And if the Wi-Fi option has disappeared from your laptop,
then you do not need to rush to a shopkeeper because this is a small problem
that you can fix by yourself. If you take your laptop to a laptop repair shop,
they will charge you big amount.
100% working methods to solve this problem are given below
1. Diagnose Network Problem
You
will see a network icon on the bottom right side of your laptop. You have to
right-click here, and then you will get two options. First is Diagnose Network
Problem, and second is Network and Internet Settings. Here you have to click on
Diagnose Network Problem. If everything is correct and the internet connection
is working, then you will see this message: "You're connected to the
internet. We didn't find any problems with your network." But if your Wi-Fi option has disappeared, then you will get this error, as you can see in the
image. That message is "The driver for your MediaTek Wi-Fi 6 MT7921
Wireless LAN Card network adapter isn't running." This means that the Wi-Fi adapter installed in your laptop or computer is not working. The Wi-Fi driver is
the thing in your laptop with the help of which you can run an internet
connection in the laptop. For example, my laptop, ASUS TUF F17 (model number
FX706HF), has Mediatek's MT7921 adapter installed in it; that's why it is
telling me this. Now your laptop may be of some other company in which the Wi-Fi driver may be of Mediatek or Intel.
In
Diagnose Network Problem, you will see the option of Restart the Wi-Fi network
adapter below, in which you will have to click on Restart Adapter. This will
restart your Wi-Fi driver, and if there is some minor mistake in it, then it
will be fixed. But it is possible that when you click on Restart Adapter,
nothing happens. So after this you have to click on "Re-Install the Wi-Fi
Driver" below. But even after doing all this, if nothing happens, then it
means that you have to manually install the Wi-Fi driver in your laptop.

Still Wi-Fi And Bluetooth Options Are Missing & Internet
Not Working?
If
even after this your internet is not working or the Wi-Fi option has
disappeared, then this is not a driver or software problem. Because now this is
100% a hardware problem. This means that the Wi-Fi card installed in your laptop
is either damaged or has become loose. Because it is possible that the wires of
your driver have become loose, due to which when you shake your laptop a
little, your Wi-Fi starts working. So you can fix this hardware problem
yourself, but you have to take some precautions in this. The important things
for this are given below.
3. Main Problem: Loose
connection of Wi-Fi card (How to Fix Manually)
If even
after doing everything your internet is not working on your laptop and the
Wi-Fi option is still missing, then 100% your Wi-Fi card in your laptop is
damaged or its connection is loose, due to which the driver is not working
properly.
To
fix this, you have to take the following precautions.
Step 1:
Preparation and Precautions
1. Turn off the
laptop completely: Shut Down, not Hibernate.
2. Remove the
power cable: Remove the charger from the laptop.
3. Remove all
USB devices: mouse, keyboard, pen pendrive - remove everything.
Step 2: Open the bottom panel of the
laptop
You have
to remove all the screws of the bottom panel of the laptop with the help of a
screwdriver. After this, you have to carefully open the bottom panel of the
laptop with a piece of plastic like a debit card. Be careful that this should not
cause any damage to the internal parts of the laptop
Step 3: How to identify the Wi-Fi card
After removing the panel, you will see the motherboard of the laptop. To identify the Wi-Fi card, you have to find two thin wires (one black and one white) because both these wires are connected to the Wi-Fi card. It is possible that there is an SSD slot above your Wi-Fi card, so you have to carefully remove your SSD first. Wi-Fi cards are not very big. In the image of the Wi-Fi card in the ASUS TUF F17 (model number FX706HF), you can see how the Wi-Fi card looks. This is the same in all the company's laptops and is identified by black and white wires.
Step 4: Fix loose connections
After
this you have to open the screw on the top of the Wi-Fi card; after that you
have to carefully remove both the black and white wires slowly. Then you have
to clean the Wi-Fi card thoroughly with a dry cloth and also clean the mouth of
the wires with a light blow. After this, you have to put the Wi-Fi card back in
its slot and tighten the screw, then you have to press both the wires lightly
and put them in. After putting them in, you will feel a slight click. Keep in
mind that you have to install the wires of both the colors exactly as they were
installed earlier. The connection of these wires should not be reversed. You
have to press both the wires well.
After
this you have to install the back panel of the laptop.
After
this, the option of Wi-Fi and Bluetooth will appear on your laptop. And your
internet connection will start working without any interruption. And in the
future, your Wi-Fi option will never disappear.
The
main reason for the automatic disappearance of Wi-Fi and Bluetooth options in
most laptops is that the Wi-Fi card in the laptop becomes loose when you move
the laptop. And this is a hardware problem, not a software or driver problem.
Because even if you install the Wi-Fi driver again and again, the voption
will keep disappearing. For this, you will have to fix the loose connection of
the Wi-Fi card at the end. You can also fix your Wi-Fi problem yourself with the
information given above; for this, you do not need to go to any shopkeeper.
