Windows 10: Home wifi network not detected

I moved into a new apartment and my personal laptop with Windows 10 does not detect the wifi network.

- My work laptop with Windows 10 detects and connects to the network, as do my iPhone and iPad.

- My personal laptop detects other networks in the building but not mine. The drivers on this laptop are up to date and were last updated at least a year prior to my move. This laptop has no problem connecting to the public networks it detects.


Does anyone know where the problem might be? I'd appreciate any help.


Thanks!

:)

 

Delay in wifi network detection

For the last couple of days there has been a delay on detecting any wifi networks when my laptop is woken from sleep. Connects fine once it sees the network and detects and connects perfectly well when fisrt switched on.

I have tried updating the driver, and also turning off power saving mode on the wifi and have run MS security scanner. Nothing detected and using the network adapter troubleshooter detects no issues. Other devices connect fine.

Any suggestions?

Hi Vignesh,

In most cases, this issue could have happened due to hardware or software failure. To resolve your issue, we suggest that you follow the steps provided in this

If the error still occurs, we suggest that you uninstall your network adapter. You can follow the steps provided below:

Hey,

Thanks for the reply. I tried the steps you listed above, unfortunately it was to no avail as the problem still lingers.

Just to make it clear wifi was working normally up and until a month ago, then all of a sudden it stopped. I have fiddled around with power management settings, network adapter settings but still I am not able find a solution.
