Windows 10: Unable to see home network on available wifi list

Recently lost connection to my home wifi network and when I went to reconnect, my home network was not listed. I can see other networks available, but not my own. Other devices are on my network and working fine. O/S is windows 8.1So far, I have done the following:Rebooted my modem/router.Rebooted my machineEnsured drivers are up to dateUninstalled and reinstalled network adapter.Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!Thank you!!

List availible wifi networks with powershell

I ran the command

I went away and made a pot of coffee then came back to the computer, checked that two minutes had passed and ran the command again

and I then clicked as soon as I could on the Taskbar, Network icon to bring up the list

and I also ran the NirSoft WiFiInfo tool I mentioned earlier to show relative signal strengths.

Are you getting a lot of fading in & out of WiFi signal strength by any chance? Are you on 2.4GHz or 5GHz? Is fading what's leading to the symptoms you see? You can monitor fading by watching the Taskbar, Network icon or by using NirSoft WiFiInfo tool, which I find easier because [as in my illustration] it can be sorted by signal strength so you can see networks flicking up & down the list.

I always use elevated cmd and I tested it again it is the same on other computer. Point is if you are not connected to wifi you get all listed if you are connected to one wifi you get only tht one. But you must not click icon on taskbar for wifis for a minute. All networks are availible all the time Also I have no restrictions. C:\>netsh wlan show filters Allow list on the system (group policy) --------------------------------------- <None> Allow list on the system (user) ------------------------------- <None> Block list on the system (group policy) --------------------------------------- <None> Block list on the system (user) ------------------------------- <None> - - - Updated - - -

when I use this line tha yes I get all wifis

So that's the same behaviour that I see and which I regard as normal behaviour.
