Wi-Fi: No hardware installed

“Wi-Fi: No hardware installed” is the error message when trying to connect.—Thinking the problem was the antenna I purchased a replacement. Before dismantling everything I plug in the replacement and restarted to no avail. Is this an issue of it not being properly grounded or something other than the antenna?

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

“Wi-Fi: No hardware installed” is a WiFi Modem level issue (Universal Scientific Industrial 339S0251 Wi-Fi Module) not an antenna.
