Greetings, dear readers.

It is rare to find laptops in use that do not have the ability to connect to the network via wireless communication. In most cases, it is enough just to indicate the required connection in the system, and everything is registered independently. But sometimes for various reasons this does not happen. Therefore, today I want to tell you how to set up WiFi on a Windows 7 laptop, as well as the main points related to this issue.

In most cases, a plastic disk is supplied with the computer, which contains all the necessary programs, including drivers. The latter are installed simply - insert the portable memory into the appropriate slot, the application will automatically start on the monitor, in which you need to set the full location of all the necessary software.

But sometimes there may not be such a disk - there is no need to be upset. You go to the official website of the developers, be it Samsung or Asus, and download the necessary packages. This can also be done through another device.

If you received the device without drivers, it is better to perform manual installation in a certain order. So, first you need to install the motherboard, and only after that everything else, including the module for the wireless network. To update components, you must restart your computer.

Internet distribution from a laptop( )

There are several ways to create a full-fledged access point without a router from an ordinary computer. But we will consider only the simplest one - using software from third-party developers. Let's turn to .

To distribute the Internet, you only need to install the application, launch it and enter a few simple settings. Everyone can figure it out.

However, it is worth noting that for proper operation the device must be connected via a cable. After all, the program is not capable of simultaneously receiving a signal and immediately sending it out.

It is worth noting that there is also a way to do this using the command line, but it is long and not very convenient. Which means we won’t consider it.

Signal problems( )

Some users may encounter a situation where the device cannot find a signal. First, it is worth testing the system on other equipment. It could be a tablet, smartphone or even a laptop. If the situation is exactly the same, you need to contact the access point. Perhaps it is located in a place that does not transmit waves well.

An important factor is other electrical elements that are located in the distribution area. And this does not depend on the provider, be it Rostelecom or Byfly.

Often the settings of the device itself for receiving the Internet from the provider may also be set incorrectly. Suitable ones can be found directly from the service provider or in the appropriate documentation supplied with the equipment.

Many providers even provide videos that explain everything in detail.
