Nakon nadogradnje na Windows 10^{(Windows 10)} možete naići na širok raspon softverskih i hardverskih problema . Jedan takav problem s kojim se možete suočiti je problem koji Wi-Fi adapter ne radi na računalima sa sustavom Windows 10^{(Windows 10)} . Znamo da je dobra mreža neophodna jer puno posla ovisi o pouzdanoj internetskoj vezi. Ako ste dulje vrijeme isključeni s interneta, to može zaustaviti vašu produktivnost. Mrežni^(Network) adapter ne radi Problem sa sustavom Windows 10^{(Windows 10)} može imati različite razloge, a svi se mogu lako popraviti kao što je objašnjeno u ovom članku.

Popravite ^{(Fix )}problem koji ne radi s Wi-Fi adapterom za ^{(Wi-Fi Adapter Not Working Issue )}Windows 10

Kada se prvi put prijavite na Windows 10 nakon nekoliko velikih izmjena, možda ćete vidjeti da uređaj prikazuje ili ne otkriva Wi-Fi mrežu. Stoga ćete se morati spojiti na žičanu mrežu ili koristiti vanjski Wi-Fi adapter. Evo nekoliko uobičajenih uzroka ovog problema:

• Neispravni upravljački programi:^{(Malfunctioning drivers: )} upravljački programi koji ne rade ispravno mogu uzrokovati probleme, osobito nakon nadogradnje OS-a.
• Neispravne postavke^{(Improper settings)} : Moguće je da su se neke od postavki adaptera neočekivano promijenile, što je dovelo do prestanka rada.
• Oštećen adapter:^{(Damaged adapter:)} Iako je malo vjerojatno, ako se problem pojavi nakon što je prijenosno računalo ispušteno, ova komponenta je možda uništena.

Metoda 1: Riješite smetnje Wi-Fi signala^{(Method 1: Resolve Wi-Fi Signal Disruptions)}

• Wi-Fi signal mogu ometati uređaji i uređaji koji daju valne signale poput mikrovalnih pećnica. Stoga^(Therefore) pazite da u blizini^{(no appliances in close proximity)} vašeg usmjerivača nema uređaja koji bi mogli ometati signal.
• Promjena Wi-Fi frekvencije usmjerivača^{( Changing router Wi-Fi frequency)} drastično će smanjiti probleme u prometu i povezivanju.
• Onemogućavanje Bluetootha^{(Disabling Bluetooth)} i isključivanje Bluetooth uređaja također može pomoći.
