Hi @esakesak
Have you checked the status of the WLAN network adapter in Device Manager > Network Adapters i.e. not installed correctly (yellow exclamation mark), disabled (red cross) or not listed at all?
If there's no appearance in Device Manager, check if the WLAN adapter has been enabled in BIOS.
If there's no WLAN enable/disable setting in BIOS check if the WLAN module is missing from the laptop.
Here's the maintenance and service guide for the laptop. Go to p.44 to view the procedure to remove/replace the WLAN module.
If there's none there or if perhaps it is faulty at the top of the page you'll find the model numbers of the 3 WLAN adapters compatible with the laptop. Two have Bluetooth capability as well as WiFi and one doesn't so be aware of that if you need a replacement. Search online using the part number only to find suppliers that suit you best.

Typically wifi adapter drivers are installed automatically depending on your operating system. Many WiFi adapters can be installed through the USB ports on your laptop, like these.
