Windows 10: Specific Wi-Fi network is not showing up

My sister used to be able to connect to our home Wi-Fi. However, the Wi-Fi name no longer shows up in the list of possible networks to connect to. Other devices all show the SSID and are able to connect.Computer is running Windows 7 Professional.Router is XB7-T.Have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the network adapter. Have logged into the router through another PC and both 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz networks are active.

Wi-Fi does not show up in 'Networking & Internet'

There is no mention of 'Wi-Fi' in this selection screen!

This screen indicates only 'Airport Mode' and no 'Wi-Fi'.



It gets kind of difficult to follow some of the suggestions I have read regarding this issue without having the first step many of them mention. Have read various solutions and those that I can try I have with no luck. This seems to be a common problem for many users. I my original book from Verizon FIOS it has indicated my router IP address as: 192.168.1.1. This seems to have disappeared. I now see only an IPv4 IP with no mention of the original number.

I note that it also has an assignment of "LIKELY DYNAMIC IP". Could this be the problem with my geo-location issue??? Perhaps linked to that which I posted earlier about a similar matter. I am again wondering if the addition of an internal Wi-Fi network card would correct this problem as my M/B has no 'Wi-Fi' chip. It looks like somehow I have managed to get two problems (although possibly linked) here in this post. SORRY! and THANKS!!
