    Soooo yeah, can't connect to any wifi connection anymore after having to use an Ethernet cable. I don't think it's turning on the adapter, since toggling function F8 gives me the little graphic but still no networks appear. I have tried in public places same result as at home.

    I have a GT780DX with Killer N 1103 card. The wifi network is fine, all my other devices connect, and when plugged back in can still get to the web, such as this post.

    Any ideas?

    Please go to device management under wireless setting, then select Auto Connect. It shall take care of this issue.

    Ive been having this same issue and the only solution I found was to ipconfig release/renew (works for me)

    I cant seem to find the auto connect, a screen shot would be nice :eek:
