Fix : Asus WiFi Disabled (Hard-blocked), Fn+F2 won't work
Source:
Key part:
4) Suspend the notebook by pressing Fn+F1 (or any other way) --> then resume it again.
Does the wireless become active now?
If the answer to all four checks above is yes (no.4 may be an exception for a few), then your system has this bug and the workaround is as follows -
echo "options asus_nb_wmi wapf=4" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/asus_nb_wmi.conf
It will create a file "asus_nb_wmi.conf" in "/etc/modprobe.d" directory that will load the driver "asus_nb_wmi" with a parameter "wapf=4" since next boot.
Reboot and the wifi should be active now. Unfortunately, Fn+F2 still won't work. A workaround, until it gets fixed, is given in the next post below. I'll update this post if (and when) found a fix to that.
sudo rm /etc/modprobe.d/asus_nb_wmi.conf
