    In my computer I have the main broadband hub with the main internet provider and an extender. My computer always connects to the extender and the main provider never appears as an option. I managed to change its priority to 1 but the computer still connects to the extender. If I go to the "known networks" it appears there but I cannot connect to it although I disconnect the extender. One opinion is that main network in in another interface thus is not shown in the interface where the extender appears.

    This issue might occur when network drivers are not updated.

    Follow the below steps:


    • Press Windows + x, select
      Device Manager.

    • Right click the Network Adapter drivers.

    • Select Update driver software.

    Lost network

    Did our Epson printer get hacked?

    Another question, is this on a home network or a work network? The steps @eidairaman1 listed are always a good first step. If this is on a work network you manage, I'd be much more concerned than the home one. It is possible someone is screwing with you, but malware could also be the culprit.
