Internet problems on my Lenovo

[nipherstudent]

Hello, yesterday I was using my computer and I shut it off. When I came back a few hours later, the wifi couldn't connect, and, unlike most times life this, it displayed an ethernet symbol with a red 'x' opposed to the normal wireless symbol with an 'x'. My computer stopped connecting to any wireless, though works fine with ethernet.

It is a Lenovo Ideapad with Windows 8

I've tried rebooting (I'm clueless, but not that clueless), updating the OS, uninstalling and reinstalling the computer's drivers along with some more far-fetched stuff (I got desperate) such as removing the battery, waiting a few hours, and plugging it back in, but nothing has worked.

If anyone can help, that would be amazing, thanks!

Hi,

Seems your WIFI adapter is being disabled. try enabling the device in your device manager or with the Fn+function key provided in your laptop.

That doesn't seem to be the problem, the adapter is enabled and the computer is not in airplane mode

the computer is not in airplane mode

What computer? Airplane mode is for iPads and iPhones.

A Lenovo Ideapad. Fn + F5 toggles all Bluetooth and Wireless activities, dubbed 'Airplane mode' by my computer.

Is there by chance a switch you might of accidently switched off? If so, check it out .

No, my laptop doesn't have a WiFi switch.
