Windows 10: Computer cannot see wifi but can see other networks.

My computer will not see my wifi network but will see others around me. Router is seen by phone and streaming devices. Network troubleshooter doesn't help. Connecting via Network cable works but I need wireless connectivity.

Hi,

Do not worry we will help you with this issue.

I suggest you to uncheck the option to automatically connect to the network (networkprofile~), try to remove the connection by choosing forget connection and check if it helps.

Try the troubleshooting steps below and check if it helps.

Step 1: Run Network Adapter troubleshooter

Network Adapter troubleshooter find and fix the problems with wireless and other Network Adapter.

• Click on Start; in the start search type
  Troubleshooter and hit Enter.
• In the left pane, click onView all.
• Click on Network Adapter Troubleshooter.
• Select Advance and click on
  Run as Administrator.
• Click Next and follow the on-screen instructions to complete the troubleshooting process.

Step 2: If you are able to find the drivers in Device Manager, check for the device status.

Follow:

• Press Windows + X keys from the keyboard, click on
  Device Manager.
• Expand Network Adapter, right click on the driver.
• Click on Properties and check the
  device status.

Step 3: I suggest you to update the network adapter driver from device manager.

Follow the below steps:

• Press Windows key + x key on your keyboard.
• Select Device manager.
• Expand Network adapters. Right-click on the device and click
  Update Driver Software.
• Restart the computer and check if the issue persists.

Refer to the article by Andre Da Costa about:
How to: Install and Update drivers in Windows 10 and check if it helps.

Hope it helps. Get back to us with an updated status of accessing the Wi-Fi network for further assistance.

Thank you.

 

Wifi problem

To setup a WiFi network you need:

• a WiFi router, and
  
• a WiFi network adapter for your computer.
  

Windows will probably install a driver for your computer's WiFi network adapter automatically. If it doesn't, no worries, download the driver from the WiFi adapter manufacturer's website. Once the driver has been installed, you're on to the next step.

Find the owner's guide for your WiFi router. It begins by showing you how to correctly setup a WiFi network. You'll have step-by-step instructions.

After you re-start your router, restart your computer. (I'm actually not sure if you need to restart your computer, but I'm superstitious. )

Now right-click on the little WiFi icon on the right side of your taskbar, choose the network name that you chose when you setup your network, and enter the network password that you chose when you setup your network. You're all done!
