Struggling with WiFi issues on your Windows 11 PC while your Ethernet connection works just fine? You're not alone! In this video, we'll take you through a series of effective troubleshooting steps to diagnose and resolve WiFi connectivity problems. Whether it's a driver issue, a simple setting adjustment, or something more complex, we've got you covered.

When you're experiencing issues where Ethernet connectivity is fine but WiFi isn't working in Windows 11, several potential causes could be at play. Understanding these causes can help you troubleshoot and resolve the issue effectively. Here are some common reasons why WiFi might not be working while Ethernet does:

1. Hardware Issues

WiFi Adapter Problems: The WiFi adapter might be disabled, faulty, or experiencing temporary glitches.

Antenna Disconnections: If the laptop or WiFi-enabled desktop has loose or disconnected antennas, it may affect signal reception.

2. Driver Issues

Outdated or Corrupted Drivers: WiFi problems often stem from issues with the network adapter’s drivers. Outdated, corrupted, or incompatible drivers can prevent the WiFi adapter from functioning correctly.

Improper Installation: Sometimes, drivers might not be installed correctly, which can lead to network issues.

3. Software Settings

Airplane Mode: If Airplane mode is accidentally enabled, it will disable all wireless communications including WiFi.

WiFi Is Disabled in Settings: WiFi might be turned off in the network settings or via a physical switch on the device.

4. Network Configuration Issues

Incorrect Network Settings: Misconfigured settings can prevent your computer from connecting to WiFi, even if Ethernet works fine.
IP Address Conflicts: If there's an IP address conflict between devices, it might affect the WiFi but not Ethernet.
