Wifi works fine with phones ipods ipads and another laptop that was also updated to windows 10 a desktop still using windows 8.
Plug ethernet cable into computer error.
Plug in ethernet causes computer crash you are welcome i am happy to hear that my solution helped to fix your problem.
Turn off your computer and remove the power cable from it.
Ethernet cables plug into ethernet ports which are larger than phone cable ports.
This port is usually on the back of a desktop computer or on the side of a laptop.
If that fixes the problem you ve got a defective router.
Connect the cable and battery to your computer and turn it on.
I looked in network and it says that the ethernet cable is unplugged and does not show any available networks.
An ethernet port on a computer is accessible through the ethernet card on the motherboard.
Now locate your ethernet connection and right click on it.
Wait for good 15 minutes.
So my wifi connection will not work with my laptop unless directly connected to by the ethernet cable.
If you are using a laptop remove its battery too.
Usually there is a light that comes on when i plug my ethernet cable into my laptop but it won t trigger the light either.
But once i plug it into my laptop there is nothing.
On troubleshooting it s says that an ethernet cable is broken or not plugged in properly and is unable to fix the problem as obviously i am not connected via any cable.
Urgent help would be greatly appreciated.
I ran diagnostics and it said to plug in the ethernet cable to the network adaptor.
As long as you don t need all of your ports you can get by.
The wifi will pick up just fine i would just rather have an ethernet connection.
If this procedure doesn t help try testing for a faulty cable.
I have plugged the router up to a different computer and my xbox and it works that way.
Instead of buying a new one outright plug the same cable into a different computer or temporarily swap out the ethernet cable for a known good one.
It is a pretty ridiculous problem so i am glad i could save someone the time of troubleshooting their computer over something so simple.
