But from today I cannot connect through wifi from my favorite Dell laptop but could do internet using a port.  The image of Network Connections Properties is 

My  Device Manager looks likes this ..

Hi,

The Code 10 error code is generated when Device Manager has insufficient information or the error that is bubbled up by the device drivers is not recognized by Device Manager.

1.       Were there any recent changes made to the computer prior to the issue?

I would suggest you to follow the steps provided and update us on the status of the issue.

Method 1: Description of Code 10-related errors that Device Manager generates in Windows-based computers: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/943104

Method 2: If the issue persists then try to uninstall and reinstall the network adapter drivers.

 Follow these steps:

 a.     Open Device Manager.

b.     Expand “Network adapters”.

c.     Right-click the connection and click “Uninstall”.

d.     Follow the on-screen instructions.

e.     Restart the computer, if prompted.

 Drivers should get installed automatically after restarting the computer.

You may also download and install the latest version of network adapter drivers from the manufacturer’s website.
