Computer Problem
« on: June 19, 2016, 10:24:23 PM »

So last night, my Windows 10 computer dropped Internet connection. Ok, whatever, it does it sometimes. However, it hasn't come back. In the bottom right hand corner, it shows the wireless symbol with a red circle that has a white X in it. When I hover over it, it says "Not connected - No connections are available" .Obviously, since I posting this,  the Internet itself is OK. Can anyone help me?

Is this a laptop? Usually many laptops have either a dedicated switch or a key combination (FN+F2 or something like that) to disable wireless connectivity. You may have accidentally triggered it and thus disabled the wifi antenna.

Look for a button on your keyboard or switch on the front or side of the laptop that has like a wireless icon on it.
