Places to look to see if your connection is activated Should I buy a new internal WiFi card and if so than that. I have a Studio 17/1745, I disconnected the internal WI - fi card and use an N of D-Link USB and I now have a WI - fi connection. Stupidly, it happened while I was still under a contract of Service, but because of the holidays, I turned it off and the contract expired in mid-December. I recently lost network connection using the -built in Intel(r) WiFi Link 5100 AGN. Intel(r) WiFi Link 5100 AGN installed in a Studio 17/1745 If you still have the same question so you must call HP tech support and get the replacement of the part.
