Need help! My Asus laptop won't show available wifi networks?

mikaylacallery , Make sure you are not in airplane mode, which disables WiFi. You could also try system restore to an earlier date when WiFi was working correctly to see if that helps. Another thing to try, go into settings,device manager, click network adapters, then click on the adapter that is your wireless WiFi. uninstall driver. Then right click on network adapters and click search for network adapters, it should automatically install it back. Try WiFi settings and connect.

Do Let me Know if you Find any other Solution On This

Like others suggested, I would try to reinstall your network drivers. If that doesn't work, I would just buy an external usb wifi card. They are a cheap and easy solution, which could offer better performance depending on the wifi chip that came preinstalled on your laptop.

My usb adapter did that one time as well. Unplugging it and plugging it back in seemed to resolve the issue. Now, while this is much more complicated to do for laptops, I would try to open it up and check the connection to your card. (I would only do this if have some prior experience with computers and networking.)

I know this reply is late as to when the thread was originally created but what I did to resolve my WiFi not seeing any signal issue in my ASUS X555DA-BB12-BK was as follows. Keep in mind this solution is not for anyone who doesn't understand computers and has never worked on them. I just felt it was worth posting just to help someone who could do this and exhausted all other means and solutions found on the web.

- I deleted the Wifi driver and replaced with the most current one found for my model at ASUS (Did not work)

- I went into the BIOS>Security tab>I/O Interface>Wireless Network and locked, rebooted, then unlocked it, rebooted (Did not work)

- Enabled and re-enabled the Wifi (Did not work)

- Ran Windows 10 troubleshoot (Did not work)

- Under the command prompt I ran as administrator "netsh winsock reset" (Did not work)

plus a few other options and none worked

What worked for me was to open the laptop up, disconnect the battery. Yes this laptops battery is not external so I had to open it to power the system down fully. While I had the keyboard off I disconnected the two internal WiFi wires (Black & White). After about a minute I connected the WiFi wires back and the put the battery back in.

After securing all the screws back into the bottom of the laptop I flip it over and powered it up.

Worked like a charm!

For those that have an external battery, try taking it out with no AC connection and let it sit for a few minutes. See if that resolves the issue. I just did the extra step of removing the WiFi wires while I have the case open.

The same here, tried everything just mentioned... Doesn't show me my wifi adapter, reset didn't work, so did the reboot, and troubleshoot, it keeps on complaining for a loose or disconnected ethernet cable. !&&*, why will I want it wired when its about wifi, and this Asus system with windows 10 does not show it... This was after two weeks coming from Asus service center who reinstalled windows 10 following a format, following change of mother effing board....

The problem might be because of the windows event log service being disabled…which is also the reason why u cant update your windows..if i am correct

To enable this:

1)open run(windows key+ R)

2)type in services.msc and open it

3)find windows event log and right click to go to properties

4) select automatic from the dropbox..hit apply

5) click start and your good to go!

-Right Click the red "X"

-Click on ChangeNetwork Adapter

- Right Click Ethernet & Wireless Network Adapter and click enable.

My daughter had the same problem. I tried all those suggested remedies posted on google, Microsoft and Asus. NO LUCK. Then I think and focus on the operating system that is Windows 10 and I found out that after the latest update she looses the WiFi. So I looking for the latest update on her computer (On your screen bottom left hand corner next to window symbol - Type here to search- Type there Windows update - select Windows update settings - select Update History - select the latest update then select UNINSTALL.{for my case Security update for Microsoft Windows(KB4074588)}. After you select UNINSTALL the screen will pose for 8 to 10 minutes as nothing happen. Be patience. Then uninstalling screen (small rectangular screen) will appear and gathering information to uninstall the latest update. It will take 45 minutes to an hour. you have to sit beside your computer and do other things while keep an eye on it if it is going to sleep mode just drag the cursor etc. After uninstall the latest update you have to restart your computer. It will take another 25 minutes because it has to rearrange all the software things. Once you log on Type WiFi at Type here to search window at the bottom left corner screen and select Change WiFi settings and you can see your WiFi there type your WiFi password and you are connected. You can't stop updating Windows 10. The uninstall update will automatically update again but this time we hope both the update and WiFi will work without any flaw. Thanks. T. Jeyaseelan.

Move your cursor over the Wifi icon shown with either an “X” or an “!” on the pop-up menu from your task bar. Right click. Choose “Troubleshoot problems.” Allow your PC to do its thing. You should be back onto your network after all the listed issues have been given a “Resolved" status. Good luck

Install Ubuntu. Windows has way too many security holes. If it's a wireless N adapter, it will have an open source device driver. Use wine for Windows apps
