Wireless Network Adapter not working in Windows Server 2008 R2

Symptoms:

  • No wireless networks are shown.
  • You have a wireless driver installed.
  • Windows device manager says the device is working properly.
  • Intel Diagnostics says the wireless adapter is not present or disabled.

This is by design.

Solution:

  1. Add a feature called "Wireless LAN Service" using Server Manager.
  2. Done. :)

(Thanks to Farrukh Lala for the tip.)
