    I have tried everything. My internet has been continuing to allow me to connect on my PC, but will not allow me to have full connection. Every other device in my house has full connection without any problems,except for my PC. How can I fix this?

    PC connection issue (Wi-Fi)

    I have 2 PCs hooked up, both running Windows 10. My PC in the living room is connected directly to the cable modem and I am using a portable Wi-Fi adapter (Netgear Genie) for my PC in the bedroom. Everything was working fine until a few days ago when I lost my Wi-Fi signal in the bedroom. The Wi-Fi icon disappeared from the taskbar. So I thought it may be the adapter. So I moved the PC into the living room and connected it directly. Well....nothing. There is still no signal. The wi-fi in my house is still active because I'm able to use my cell phone and tablet. So...any suggestions? If what I wrote is unclear let me know. Thanks.

    One device can't connect to 2.4GHz Wi-FI

    AcerA515-45 Windows 10 Pro 22H2 Qualcomm Atheros QCA61x4A Wireless Network Adapter I have no idea when this issue started but my laptop no longer connects to 2.4GHZ Wi-Fi - "unable to connect to this network". I can connect to 5GHz Wi-Fi and to 2.4GHz using an ethernet cable but not 2.4GHz Wi-Fi. I have two separate networks: one is my regular ISP and the other is Starlink. I can't connect to 2.4GHz Wi-Fi on either of them so it doesn't appear to have anything to do with the ISPs or the routers. All other devices (laptop, phone, tablet, TV, PlayStation, Android TV dongle) can connect to 2.4GHz Wi-Fi, it's only my laptop that can't. Things I've tried so far. Some I know to do, others are online suggestions: 1) Power off the router. Wait 30 seconds then restart. 2) Remove the 2.4GHZ networks from Manage Known Networks. 3) Uninstall the Adapter Driver. Reboot PC for it to reinstall. 4) Disconnect from all Wi-Fi access points, set PC to Flight Mode. Open Command Prompt as administrator and enter ipconfig /flushdns, then enter sfc.exe /scannow. When the scan completes shut down PC, wait about 30 seconds, then restart PC. 5) Update the drivers via Device Manager - Automatic (no updates available) and Browse > Let me pick from a list of available drivers on my computer. Tried the two that were in the list: Microsoft and Qualcomm. 6) Turn off "Allow the computer to turn off the device to save energy" in adapter Properties under Power Management. 7) Made sure the Preferred Band in the Advanced adapter Properties isn't set to Prefer 5GHZ Band. I even tried setting it to Prefer 2.4GHz Band but no luck. I put it back to the original setting of No Preference. 8) Uninstall VPN.

    Windows 10 laptop is connected to the Wi-Fi, but don't give me the opportunity to enter a password.

    Hi,

    I suggest you to follow the below steps to delete the connected Wi-Fi device and try adding it again.


    • Type View Network Connections in the search bar and click on the same.

    • If your Wi-Fi device is listed, right-click on the device and click on
      Delete.

    • Now, try connecting to the Wi-Fi and check if it prompts for the password.

    Hope this helps. Keep us updated with the issue to assist you further.

    Thank you.
