Inspiron 14Z 5423 with Windows 8 OS
Intel Centrino N-2230 Wireless Card
** Wireless service is "On". Airplane mode is "Off". I've checked to make sure my Intel Centrino wireless adapter is working and up-to-date.
- Upon starting the computer, wireless networks are not recognized
I've been able to troubleshoot this by doing the following
1. Go to "Control Panel", go to "Network and Internet", choose "Network Connections," choose "Network Adapters."
2. Select "Wireless Adapter". select "Diagnose". Upon running Diagnostics, it comes up with "Windows Wireless Service is Not Running."
3. It then asks if System Administrator wants to repair, which I do. Then everything works, until I turn the computer off.
!! I have to go through this routine EVERY time I turn the computer on. There has to be an easier way, right ?
