So recently my Chromebook was not connecting to any networks. When I went to look at the connections, it said that the Wi-Fi was turned off, and the button to turn it on was not present at all. Upon clicking on ‘Settings’, the Wi-Fi network was listed as ‘Disabled’, but when I went to click on it, it does not give any options to re-enable it. What’s wrong with it?
I had this exact problem. I even took it to a pc repair shop and they said the WiFi chip may be faulty but they replaced it and it still didn’t work! I bought a cheap ethernet to usb cable from eBay and plugged it in and now it’s working! The WiFi is still disabled but I can use it now through plugging it into the ethernet cable at home.
I went to get this fixed and they said it needs a hardware reset this is basically what they did : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ejC_h-l7…

Try to put the date and time correct if you dont have It yet, and let me know on its goes!
After dealing with this issue for years on my daughters school Chromebook (ASUS brand) I finally was able to fix the issue by opening it up and placing a tiny paper washer underneath the screw to raise the wireless card just slightly, now it works great. To verify unscrew the wireless card but leave plugged in, it should sit at a slight angle in the connector, then power up and see if it works.
I took mine to a repair shop out of frustration. In less than 5 mins, the assistant unscrewed the case, removed the WiFi card, cleaned up card & port. screwed everything back. No issue with the WiFi since then.
well i installed a vpn and it stop doing this as freqent
