Can you check to show whether your wireless adapter is showing up in Device Manager? (Go to Control Panel if you don't know where to find Device Manager) Your wireless card should show up under Network Adapters. If it does not, check your unidentified devices for "Unidentified NIC" or something like that.

If you do see it as an unidentified device, visit the HP site's support section to download the latest drivers for it.

If it is listed in the correct section, make sure it is enabled by right clicking its name and selecting enable. (This option will not be visible if it is already enabled)

If it is identified and enabled, try to uninstall and reinstall HP Wireless Assistant.

If none of those work, you may have a hardware issue and you should gather your warranty and support information and give HP a call.

SOURCE: Internal Wireless adapter failed

Your wireless zero configuration being manipulated by the add-on service of manufacturer software. first you can manually turn in the Wireless Zero Configuration by typing services.msc on run menu. After you run the services you will see Wireless Zero configuration please enable and start it with the given option.

Next you can open the Wireless Network Connection option, uncheck the add on protocols, such as AEGIS and WLAN protocol. after restart computer should work with wireless without problem.

Please post if you need further assistance.

Good Luck

SOURCE: wireless button

If your 6710b has wireless, the button is a little touch icon above the f4 key on your keypad, about 3 inches to the right of your power button; it's supposed to look like a little picture of an antenna with radio signals coming from it (( | )). When it's on, the picture will light up blue.

My laptop can't get a wireless connection. Won't let me click on the HP wireless assistant. In the BIOS; should "network adapters" be enabled or disabled?

definitely enabled. also check your device manager if there is a bang ( yellow or red mark) at the side of the icon under network adapters. if so, download the latest network driver from HP website.

Wireless not functioning

There should be an indicator LED to show that the wireless device is on. If no light, you need to turn it on. If it's red, the device has failed. Quickest/cheapest fix? Buy and install a USB wireless adapter.

Wireless Button Disabled

After one month of trying everything, I finally figured this one out.  First turn off and restart your computer.  Then press F10 to enter the System BIOS Settings.  Select F9 (Setup Defaults) and when it asks Load Default Configuration Now? , Enter YES.  Then, press F10 (Save and Exit) and when it asks Save Configuration Changes And Exit Now, Enter YES.  This should restore the wireless LAN button to its original factory settings.  Once you restart the computer the button will be listed as disabled, but press on the button and it should work again.  I hope this helps someone else out!
