hi freebird
i know what id try ,, that would be completely remove the driver then reboot
and see if the device can be found by windows personally thats the way id start
got to be honest im not the biggest fan of any medion products i keep them at a safe distance and dont let them through my front door

You can try and do it through Windows' control panel... Look for the Network and sharing center, and once you're there go into Manage network connections and see if WiFi is disabled.
