Windows 10: My Wifi router is no longer showing up on my connections

My internet was acting weird yesterday, so today i decided to reset the router for 30 seconds. Then my laptop could no longer connect to the internet or show the "wifi" thing in the bottom of the screen, but after some trouble shooting i was able to get that back. Only problem is, i can see everyones wifi network when i look for any, except mine. It stopped showing up, so i tried updating driver, uninstall reinstall network driver, troubleshoot, and even remove it from known networks. Nothing worked, I'm able to connect to my router with my phone, but no longer my laptop. If i do the troubleshoot, it says "connect to a known network" or a network cable is not properly plugged in or may be broken." So what can i do now? I don't want to system restore for something so miniscule.

"WiFi- Show Available Networks" does not list wireless routers anymore

Thanks Mr. Cai,

Before I try your suggestions, I have to know if I can undo your changes? Presently, my WIFI still connects to exiting wireless routers that it had been using for past year. Windows 10 somehow stores these "remembered connections" but does not display
them. I think your suggestions will make me lose these "remembered connections", which means that my windows 10 will never be able to connect to any WIFI !!

After carrying out your suggestions -if lose my "remembered WIFI" connections and am still not able to see a list of available WIFI routers, can I restore these "remembered WIFI" by restoring my win 10 registry?

 

I cant access to my wifi router

Wifi router

Hello marcosamerio..
If you are unable to connect access your wifi router then there must be some problem with connection. I think the following step scan help you to connect it properly to wireless router.

Connect your computer to the wireless router. Although you can access the router wirelessly, it is better to use an Ethernet cable to directly connect to your router so that you can securely adjust router settings. Plug the Ethernet cable into the appropriate Ethernet jack on your computer. Plug the other end of the cable into any one of the open Ethernet ports on the back of your wireless router.

2. Open a Web browser. In the URL address field, enter the IP address for your wireless router. This information should be contained in your router’s manual. If you cannot find it, enter “198.168.1.1” as the address. This is usually the default IP address for most routers.


3. Enter the username and password for your router. This should also be supplied in the router’s manual. If you don’t have this information, go to the RouterPasswords website and find the brand and model of your router. This site lists the default login information for most wireless routers.

4. You should now be able to see your wireless router settings. You can configure your network ports, as well as SSID (wireless network name) and passwords.

 

Xfinity Wifi showing up in my routers available internet connections ?

I recently found that "xfinity wifi" is showing up in my available internet access list as an openly available option.
I have comcast xfinity hi speed internet as my internet provider but have never had it show up on the routers available connections list before. The home network I set up years ago has a different name.

I am puzzled why this free open network has suddenly appeared in the list. As it requires no password I think there is a possibility its use might present a security risk
Is this a new Xfinity feature??
