Your laptop features a Wi-Fi adapter that lets the computer communicate with a wireless router or other access point. Embedded in the adapter are antennas that send and receive data packets in the form of radio signals. Windows supports several methods to turn the antennas on or off, and when the antennas are disabled, the laptop can’t intercept wireless signals in the area. If no local hot spots appear when you open the Network pane, alter your computer settings to re-enable Wi-Fi communication. Tips Writer Bio
