    Laptop won't connect to wifi/router - but will connect to wifi extender


    Hi All.


    The following has happened before, and then if fixed it's self, but started happening again 3-4 days ago and is still an issue.


    I'm about 20-25 feet from the router, Normally it connects no problem. But since Monday afternoon my laptop won't connect to the router. It keeps saying "no internet, secured" when trying to connect.


    As I said I can normally connect no problem.


    I have a wifi extender and moved it closer to the office, I can connect to that.


    I moved the laptop right beside the router 2 feet away thinking maybe the distance is the issue but got the same problem.


    I have a second laptop in the house and that connects to the wifi with no problems.


    My laptop is a Thinkpad T470 - Core i5 / 16gig ram about 2 years old.


    I've windows 10 pro.

    As a lot of people are right now I'm working from home, so I need to try to resolve the issue as sometimes the extender doesn't work.


    Thank you for your help.

    :)

  2. connecting to my wifi extender

    I cannot connect to my wifi extender (netgear) from my laptop. I have Windows 10 installed. I can connect with all other devices (cell phones).

    I can connect to my modem/router but when trying to connect to the extender it says "internet not available". Any suggestions or has this nothing to do with Microsoft products?
