  1. Cannot connect to wifi No available networks shown


    I have somehow lost my wifi connection. There is just a red cross next to wifi in Network Connections. In Network Adaptor it shows 2 Realtek Drivers RTL8723AE Wireless Lan 802,11n PCI-E NIC but wont connect by wifi. Works fine with etyhernet. Can anyone help as I have watched lots of videos and tried multiple fixes but to no avail?

    :)

    WiFi appears in Manage Known Networks, not in Show Available Networks

    The list of WiFi connections shown when you click the WiFi icon in the taskbar is a list of all the signals that can currently be seen by the WiFi adapter. The list in Manage Known Networks is a list of all those you have previously successfully connected to, whether or not they are currently available.


    The only plausible explanation is that for a while that WiFi signal had been turned off.

    List availible wifi networks with powershell

    I always use elevated cmd and I tested it again it is the same on other computer. Point is if you are not connected to wifi you get all listed if you are connected to one wifi you get only tht one. But you must not click icon on taskbar for wifis for a minute. All networks are availible all the time Also I have no restrictions. C:\>netsh wlan show filters Allow list on the system (group policy) --------------------------------------- <None> Allow list on the system (user) ------------------------------- <None> Block list on the system (group policy) --------------------------------------- <None> Block list on the system (user) ------------------------------- <None> - - - Updated - - -
    when I use this line tha yes I get all wifis

    List availible wifi networks with powershell

    So you are seeing all networks when using the command. Is it possible that the other networks have become unavailable during that 30 seconds? Have you checked the list shown in the Taskbar popup at the same time as using the command? You can check both at the same time using this combined command Code:
