    I had the exact same problems after replacing a Hard drive on a ASUS laptop. After using my Recovery discs, everything worked, except for Ethernet and Wifi. I was searching the internet for drivers when I ended up on your video. Thanks for the video saved me a lot of time.

    I love how you went slow and explained each step. My wifi was disabled. The wifi button or fn + wifi button were working. But following the steps you showed, I was able to enable my wireless adapter again. I had even tried previously, going to change adapter setting from the Control Panel. It did not work. I know this video is old, but it was so helpful & I really appreciate it!

    Thanks Guru.
    The fix wasn't as easy as yours, but now that I can connect, I can polish off the remaining drivers.
    I've really come to rely on "you" as a great source for great tutorials.
    Have a Merry-Christmas and may all yours be blessed because of your generosity to strangers like me !

I followed what you did with my asus laptop..and its showing the networks now. Now need to fix the wifi hope ill find another video for that too...THANKS A LOT! I found this video yesterday thought it was bullshit cause this was 20 mins vid. But hey you fixed my pc and saved my money. you earned a suscriber and like :D Thanks again.

    Thank you GuruBrew, my son built his first gaming PC with windows 7 and ever since he powered it up it would not register that it was plugged into the cable modem. I watched this video after dancing around it thinking that it was going to have all the misinformation all the others had for this situation. but I was wrong, after I followed your steps I loaded the missing driver from the mother board maker and then installed it. I am happy to say after 3 minutes he is up and running on the internet and enjoying the bragging rights of building his first computer.
    Again, Thank you Sir!

    Ok so I have this problem with this laptop. It's a year old and it's never given me any problems, until now. The problem is that the wifi will work for like a minute, and then stops working. It reads the wifi and shows I'm connected, but won't load up any websites. I know the wifi isn't the problem because I'm using wifi on my phone just fine. What's the solution? Thanks

    • @amen_5594
      @amen_5594 9 років тому

      Oh and it's an HP Envy running windows 8.1 and also there's no yellow exclamation points on the drivers

    • @GuruBrew
      @GuruBrew  9 років тому +2

      Sounds like a software problem. Have you checked the log files for errors? I made a video of that subject if you need help with that.

    • @amen_5594
      @amen_5594 9 років тому

      GuruBrew Ok so I just checked out the video. Under system, I seem to have a whole group of warnings. The source says AFD and the event ID is 16002

    • @amen_5594
      @amen_5594 9 років тому +1

      GuruBrew I don't have any errors/warnings under setup, and I only have a few under application. But I have the most warnings under system, could this be the problem?

    • @GuruBrew
      @GuruBrew  9 років тому +2

      Alexis Mendez By any chance are you using Norton security Protection? If so, try disabling it and any other firewall protection you may have other than Windows built in firewall and reboot to see if that corrects the problem. Sounds like a DNS lookup problem to me and possible multiple anti virus/firewall protection products installed fighting to be king. Steve

    Thanks, Steve. The drivers I needed were for a Dell Inspiron One 2020. So, I went to the official Dell website, searched their driver page for that model, and got the files I needed. Initially, when I clicked "Update Driver", I couldn't understand why the computer wasn't finding the files I'd downloaded. But soon discovered I just needed to double click the drivers to fix the issue.

    This advice is amazing and it worked! I am relatively low-tech, but I with this video I was able to (a) diagnose on my computer that the reason I had no internet access was that there was a problem with the drivers; (b) on a different computer go to the Dell website, locate, and download the needed drivers on a flash drive; (c) upload the drivers feom the flash drive on my computer with the access problems; and (d) open the drivers and get immediate re-acces to the Internet.
    Since the loss of Internet access came out of the blue with no warning, I am saving this GuruBrew's link in my bookmarks!

    @frankhorvath817 3 роки тому

    Very clear presentation. It served to show that it's not my drivers that are my problem because the computer messaged that i need to install a network controller. Self diagnosis said it was working fine.
    My entire internet setup was taken out in a couple of nights of storms, and when I tried to set everything up I had no luck, decided my old Linksys WRT54G router was cooked. I bought a Lynksys AC2300 and found I couldn't set it up due the two stage process requiring a better smartphone than I have. After that aborted process I once again gtried to revive my old link and could could only get my XP computer on the internet. The Win7 computer sees the WAN and my Wifi, and ever other WiFi in the neighborhood, but I'm not able to make it actually get access to the internet. I don't know where to start.
