Introduction

The wireless card is how your laptop connects to wireless sources, such as wifi or Bluetooth. A faulty card can mean your device regularly fails to connect to the internet over wireless connections, or to Bluetooth sources.

Before using this guide, be sure to check that other devices can connect to whatever source has been disconnecting to ensure that the issue is with your laptop and not the access point, as well as to check that there are no faults with the software controlling this, such as your laptop being turned on to airplane mode or having either wifi or Bluetooth off.
