Hi, my UX305FA (Win10) has this red X on its Wi-Fi symbol, it saids “Not connected - No connections are available” when mouse over. The wi-fi toggle in NETWORK & INTERNET settings always stay off. And the wifi device option is grey-out in the Airplane mode page. Network adaptor is enabled correctly in Device Manager. It seems like the wifi is disabled by some kind of hardware switch. I have try booting into Ubuntu (by usb) to confirm. Problem remains, and the wifi message is “Wi-Fi is disabled by hardware switch” . Does anyone know if there is any hardware Fn key on this laptop to enable the wifi? There is none that I can find. The only network related Fn key is the airplane mode Fn+F2. Any suggestion?

Hi, According to the user manual in the BIOS area under the Security tab – I/O Interface security there is a Wireless Network Interface option to lock or unlock. The manual shows it as unlock you might want to check and see if yours is in the lock position.
Your wireless controller may be broken our have loose connection
Hi, I had the same problem. I tried re-installing the WiFi driver. Still the same. My netbook is a dual boot seashell series. I opened the program with Asus Express Gate Cloud (firefox), went to settings , swithed the WiFi off & on & the WiFi switched back on. I was playing in this area a week or two before trying to get it to work & I must have switched the WiFi off.
