WLAN is not displayed - these tips help

If your WLAN is not displayed on your computer, this can have several causes. First, make sure that the WLAN function is enabled on both the PC and the router. You can find out what other tips help solve the problem here.

This helps if the WLAN is not displayed

If you want to connect to the Internet via a WLAN network for the first time, you must first set up this connection. To do this, click on the WLAN icon in the computer's taskbar, select your router's WLAN in the window that opens and enter the associated network key. If the name of your WLAN is not displayed in the network list, please proceed as follows:

1. First, make sure that the WLAN function on your computer is switched on by first clicking on "Network" and then on "WLAN" in the Info Center.
2. Flight mode can also be the cause for your WLAN not being displayed, as all radio connections are deactivated when flight mode is switched on.
3. In addition, check whether the driver of your WLAN card is still up-to-date. To do this, navigate to "Network adapters" in Device Manager, right-click on the name of your network adapter and select "Update driver" > "Automatically search for current driver software".

WLAN is not displayed: Check the router

If your WLAN still does not appear after performing the above steps, check if there is a problem with your router. Make sure that the WLAN function on the router is switched on and that your computer is within range of the WLAN signal. Also a restart of the router can help to solve disturbances at the device.
