Need help! My Asus laptop won't show available wifi networks?
Hey! My Asus laptop X553M is running on windows 10! I powered it up today and it won't show any available wifi networks, just a symbol for an Ethernet cable with a red "x" on the bottom of the screen. I've tried everything from resetting my network connections but nothing is working and I need the wifi up and running as soon as possible! Unsure if I should buy a wireless adapter to fix this problem (even though connecting to wifi has worked for over a year on this laptop). Any help would be appreciated, thanks!!

"Like others suggested, I would try to reinstall your network drivers. If that doesn't work, I would just buy an external usb wifi card. They are a cheap and easy solution, which could offer better performance depending on the wifi chip that came preinstalled on your laptop.
My usb adapter did that one time as well. Unplugging it and plugging it back in seemed to resolve the issue. Now, while this is much more complicated to do for laptops, I would try to open it up and check the connection to your card. (I would only do this if have some prior experience with computers and networking.)"
