Homie The Disable and Enable method worked for me but the problem keeps on happening. Is there any Permanent method to fix the issue or do I have to get a new Wi-fi drive?

[@nsant3790]

Qualcomm atheros ar956 in window 10 every time you start the device is giving the same issue. WiFi sign disappeared, and WiFi adapter also disappeared 😞

I had to go all the way up to the troubleshooting method and FINALLY I had wifi again and didnt need to just use the cable. thank you.. you've no idea how much I appreciate this. this computer goes everywhere with me and to think that I'd have to have a cable everywhere hooked to a router was impossible. You're wonderful.

[@dearleaderlorca]

Nicely made. Straight to the point. No extra stuff I don't need. Thorough. Good work, Sandeep.

[@chanuki2195]

Oh my, I cant thank you enough. ive tried installing all wifi drivers available ion my laptop. rollback windows update, tweaking registry and all. power flushing works on my laptop. thank you Sandeep signh!

[@armanpratik5088]

same here, i was so worried and tried all other steps & nothing seemed to work but the power flush option worked like a charm ✨✌️

[@garyli4909]

Same!

[@ganidhsry]

For me nothing worked. Any other step? Kindly help. Edit: The power flush method worked the second time i tried.

[@ollie12]

Same here. I would recommend that everyone try power flush first, as it was super easy and quick. Didn’t even have to remove my battery out of my laptop. It’s brand new so this was a super frustrating problem to have and I’m glad I didn’t have to go beyond this method.

[@chanuki2195]

Thank you so much, I nearly lost all hope when none of the methods didn’t work till the power flush. My network adapter is working perfectly again.

[@zacharyperez6854]

The power flush saved it. You just saved me from losing my damn mind. Been building computers for years and I’ve never dealt with something like this. Liked and subscribed

[@damian9303]

Same here, have heard of power cycling before but didn't think it could resolve what seemed like a driver issue. But with how no version was working no matter how new or old, it almost made me think the BIOS was the culprit before having done the same as a last ditch effort... Kudos to you for eventually figuring it out, really helped me out here since everything else in the video was in verbatim what I've already tried

[@kitten1122]

i just spent 2 hours with windows screen share techs helping me troubleshoot this issue, they even upgraded my os, and the power flush actually worked. im holding back tears

You just saved me 2 days worth of problems. God bless you. A like and sub well deserved.

[@zeshwonsos]

Thanks 👍 I learned a couple new troubleshooting steps, I tried all of them including testing a few recent driver releases. In the end it was the 30 second power button trick. My laptop booted and shutdown once and then stayed shut down until I released and pressed the power button again and as soon as I booted my WiFi adapter woke up like i hadn't been hitting it with a hammer for the last hour. I suppose that's a cmos thing

[@nindot78]
