  1. What can I do to restore my PCs ability to connect wirelessly?


    I was freeing up space on my pc a few days ago and I may have mistakenly deleted something because now my PC does not show any available Wifi networks. Other PCs and mobiles in the house can still connect to my Wifi. My PC can still connect to the internet when an ethernet cable is plugged in but I do need it to access the internet via Wifi.

    :)

    Cannot Connect Wirelessly to the Internet

    My E Machines E732 laptop which was recently upgraded to Windows 10 (from Windows 7) and has now had the Anniversary update applied. has suddenly ceased to be connectable wirelessly to the internet. I am using a BT Hub 5 and there is no fault with it as it connects wirelessly to several other computers in the house. I can connect the E Machines using an ethernet cable, and this works well, but any attempt to reconnect wirelessly fails. Could this be a result of the latest Windows update or is there some other fault such as a Registry flaw. I have tried renewing the network settings but no joy. Has anyone got any suggestions?*Sad

    What can I do to restore my PCs ability to connect wirelessly?

    Can't wirelessly connect to Samsung TV

    If that is the case, we need to clarify a few things first for us to better understand your concern about connecting your computer to your TV using wireless connection. Kindly answer the following:

    • Does your TV has a Miracast feature?
    • You mentioned that you're able to project your computer to your TV using wireless connection before. Can you please tell us the step-by-step process on how you connected your computer to your TV using wireless connection.

    While we wait for the answers to our questions, there may be a setting on your TV that needs to be activated so that you can connect your computer. We strongly recommend contacting Samsung so that you can verify how you can connect your computer to your
    TV wirelessly.

    We'll be waiting for your response.
