How to Do If BL-WDN650A and BL-WDN1300A Wireless Adapters Can't Detect Wi-Fi After Driver Installation
- Open Device Manager:Right-click on "This PC" on your desktop and select "Manage". Then, navigate to "Device Manager".
- Check the Location of Your Wireless Adapter:Look for the wireless adapter in the following sections:[Disk drives]: If it's identified as a "CD-Drive", it means the driver has not been installed yet (a virtual "CD-Drive" should appear in "This PC").[Other devices]: If the adapter is listed here, it indicates that the driver is either not installed or not loaded successfully. In this case, uninstall any previously installed drivers, restart your computer, and try installing the driver again.[Network adapters]: If the adapter is listed here, it means the driver is installed and should be working properly.
- Ensure the [WLAN AutoConfig] Service is Set to [Automatic] and [Running]:Verify that the "WLAN AutoConfig" service is configured to start automatically and is currently running. This service is responsible for managing Wi-Fi connections and must be operational for your wireless adapter to detect and connect to Wi-Fi networks.
If the wireless adapter is still not detecting Wi-Fi after following these steps, try the following additional troubleshooting measures:
- Restart your computer to ensure all changes are applied and services are restarted.
- Check for any updates to your Windows operating system and install them, as they may contain fixes for hardware compatibility issues.
- Ensure that your wireless adapter is not disabled in the Device Manager.
- Verify that your computer's Wi-Fi switch (if present) is turned on.
- Try connecting to a different Wi-Fi network to see if the issue is specific to a particular network.
- Consider contacting the manufacturer's support for further assistance if the problem persists.
