  2. Cannot connect to home WiFi network

    I upgraded to Windows 10 and ever since then my computer can't find my own home wifi network. A bunch of available wifi networks will show up, but not mine. I don't have it hidden and it shows up on my Blackberry & my Samsung Galaxy. Ethernet works fine, but not wifi.

    I've tried the following:

    • Use device manager and scroll to network adapters and expand it and select your wifi card. from there hit uninstall but do not remove the driver. after that look up top for a computer with a magnifying glass and it will scan for changes which will then reinstall your driver for your wireless.
    • I tried to "manually connect to a wireless network" which still didn't work (I could name it, and enter the password) but nothing would happen.
    • I've upgraded the drivers of my Dell Centrino card and I still don't see my wifi network.

    Any suggestions on what to do?

  3. Cannot Connect to home Wifi After Windows 10 1607 upgrade

    Having updated the various suggested drivers, as explained in my previous reply, the laptop's wifi connection to my home wifi system unfortunately remains intermittent. Prior to the 1607 windows 10 update it connected easily for many years, and I have
    other devices connecting to the wifi system without a problem. The laptop has has connected without a problem to new outside wifi sources, but failed to connect to one that it had connected with before. There seems to be some barrier that leads to the message
    "cannot connect to this network" from my home wifi system (and perhaps others it historically connected to) that was not there before?

    Cannot connect to wifi


    Hello, I'm running a Surface Pro 3. I use it for work and my personal life. At work, we have three different wifi connections. My preferred one is the "guest" wifi. I've been using it since I got my Surface almost 2 years ago. I've never had an issue. Two days ago, I noticed I wasn't connected to the web. I disconnected and reconnected to the guest wifi. It showed "No Internet, secured". Chrome shows that the DNS address could not be found. I am able to connect to the other two wifi options and access the web (I prefer the guest access because it doesn't limit what I do on the web). I took the surface home with me and again, no issues connecting to the wifi at home, or some public wifi I tired. Everyone I've talked to is able to connect to the guest wifi at work without issue. My network administrator (who is technically not allowed to work on my surface because it is not a company device) says nothing has changed on his end.
    I followed some of the trouble shooting steps on other posts. I did run the system file checker and determined that opencl.dll (I think that is the file name) was damaged. I was unable to repair it.
    I am hoping someone could possibly run me through troubleshooting this issue? It's an annoyance more than anything and I would like to see if I can fix it. Thanks in advance.
