Windows 10: Windows PC only connects to wifi networks very close by

My windows PC will not connect to my home's wifi unless I put a wifi extender right next to it. It connects to my phone's hotspot just fine, so long as I keep my phone less that a few feet from the computer. It is very clearly an issue with my computer and not my wifi router since every other device in the house connects fine. What do I do to fix this?

Losing network connection

Hello Dear, if you have a laptop or a PC with a wireless network adapter, you can see a list of available wireless networks and then connect to one of those networks. The wireless networks will only appear if your PC has a wireless network adapter installed, the adapter is turned on, and the wireless access point is in range.

1. Click Start, click Control Panel, click Network and Internet Connections, and then click Network Connections.

2. In the left pane, under Network Tasks, click View available wireless networks.
In case, If you don't see the network you want to connect to, click Refresh network list. If you see the network but the signal is weak, move the PC closer to the wireless router.

3. Click the network you want to connect to, and then click Connect.

4. If you're connecting to a secure network, type the security key, and then click OK.

I Hope you solve out your query soon.

 

Cannot connect to wifi network from windows 10 PC

I recently purchased a wifi card for my windows 10 PC (upgraded from windows 7 a while ago). I have installed a driver from TP-Link's website that claims compatibility with windows 10, and can see my network in the list of available networks. When trying
to connect, it asks for the network key, then says that it can't connect to the network.

Network troubleshooter suggested connecting to a network (even though the issue is that I am unable to connect).

I created a wlan report (downloadable from dropbox) which is suggesting that the network is unavailable, even though all my other devices (phone,
windows 10 laptop, xbox, wifi bridge, ds) can connect to this same network without issue.

Also tried reinstalling the driver, uninstalling the device and rebooting, letting windows find it's own driver and rebooting the router, still nothing.

Anyone have any ideas as to why this is happening?

 

Assigning a default WiFi connection

Is there any specific way to force Windows to connect to a certain WiFi connection?

Since my PC keeps connecting to a commercial WiFi hotspot rather than to my home network when it boots.

Things I have tried:

• "Connect to suggested WiFi hotspots" has been turned off
• Home network has been set to "connect automatically" when connecting
  
• Hotspot networks have been "forgotten" in the WiFi settings

Is there anything else I can try to fix this problem?
