To-day I updated my wife’s computer that is connected via a wifi router to our local network from the 2014 version to new avast free 2015.
I had to re-enable the Wifi router and a second custom re-install was succesful.
What could have caused the Wifi was turned off when I rebooted after the first initial install of the software?
Anyone?
Yes it was the Network Security Component of free avast 2015 AV that blocked this by default after installation (Wifi off - plane status on). Had to manually set it to allow in the program and then also restart the Wifi Router manually. It is something every user of Wifi should do once in a while for security reasons anyway. The router was protected as should and latest firmware update was applied.
