    Can't see home WiFi network but can see others in the area


    Yesterday I could see my home WiFi network on my laptop and today I can't. All other devices in the house are still connected to and can see and connect to it but my laptop can't even see it. On my laptop I can see other WiFi networks in the area but not my own. I've rebooted the modem and everything in the house connects back up to it but My laptop still cannot see it.


    I take my laptop to work and it remembers that network and can see and connect to it but for some reason when I'm at home, my home network won't show up in the available networks list. I'm running Windows 10 version 20H2. The issue started before I updated Windows so I know that isn't the problem. Anyone know a remedy for this?

    :)

    Network protocol missing - keep losing wifi since windows 10 upgrade

    Hi Guys

    Thank you for your suggestions.

    I uninstalled the network adapter and restarted.

    This did not work.

    Then I tried step 6 suggested by Banonymy above. This was promising as I ended up with wifi for quite some time but then the same thing happened. I lost wifi and had to go back through the troubleshooting steps over and over again.

    When the problem is found and resolved it appears to be that:

    "the windows wireless service is not running on this computer"

    I would be grateful for any more suggestions.

    Ethernet Light Orange/ "Local Area Network" Not in Network List

    Last night I noticed my ethernet light on the back of my computer was orange. I did some research to find the reason. Some websites said it was an increased connection speed. Others said a problem with the connection.
    The local area network is no longer in the list of network connections and the other computer in my house has a green light on the ethernet port.
    I've used all the cmd.exe ipconfig steps suggested by websites. Flush dns, reset dns, etc. I've also used the network troubleshooter in windows10 which told me a problem was not found.
    Nothing seems to change the light back to green. Can someone help me find the problem so I can fix it?

    Can't see home WiFi network but can see others in the area

    Can´t connect to my Wifi network

    Hi everyone,

    I can´t connect to my Wifi from my desktop with Window 10. I had an ethernet cable before and it worked perfectly but now I can´t connect my computer to the router through the cable anymore.

    For some reason it detects my wifi network but when i try to connect it says i cant connect.

    I followed a few tutorials online of how to fix it and still didn´t work.

    any help please???

    thanks in advance

    Ramon
