I am having problems with my wireless connection and troubelshoot tells me that I have a problem with the wireless adapter or access point. What can I do, as the internet is not the problem. Does this have something to do with my PC setting?

    This was what solved my problem:

    http://www.registryrecycler.com/blog/2013/11/fix-wi-fi-connectivity-issues-in-windows-8-1/

    It's actually a very useful page containing many of the solutions found here. I went through each solution one after the other, and by the fifth solution, my Wi-Fi was up and kicking! :)

    I don't think it's likely to be the cause either, just something mfg'r recommends for that model after upgrade. I'd actually use that page to grab their driver and install it.  Even if it matches the version you already have installed, so you're using the one they tested and not whatever got installed from WHQL over Windows Update.

    I don't think that is what causes the issue. From what i understood - it's just a shortcut with on screen display.

    From Asus: ASUS Wireless Console is a utility to provide an on-screen selection interface for the built-in wireless LAN and/or Bluetooth. After installing ASUS Wireless Console, one could use the function key to turn the built-in wireless LAN and/or Bluetooth ON or OFF. With only wireless LAN built-in or only Bluetooth built-in hold [Fn] and press [F2] separately to scroll through the selections of wireless LAN and/or Bluetooth.

    I typed your model number into this page on Asus and it says that your computer is green to go for Windows 10, but they warn that you will need to manual uninstall the "Asus Wireless Console".
