Wi-Fi errors (Windows 10)

I'm currently troubleshooting a HP laptop (HP G62-a10SQ to be more specific). The problem is that it doesn't want to connect to any Wi-Fi network. It leaves me with the generic error "Can't connect to this network." I've tried these steps so far

• Restarting the computer
  
• Flushing DNS
  
• Releasing and renewing the ipconfig
  
• Uninstalling the driver
  
• Reinstalling the driver
  
• Reseating the Wi-FI module
  
• Checking Windows Update for any drivers
  
• Updating the driver in Device Manager
  
• Temporarily removing my Wi-Fi encryption
  
• Trying to connect to a different Wi-Fi network outside of my network
  
• Probably more troubleshooting steps I can't remember atm (I will edit the post if I remember anything)
  

 

New Wi-Fi Encryption Vulnerability Affects Over A Billion Devices

Well this sucks...Hope its patched soon and not 6 months from now

Just saw the article:

Before proceeding to details of the new Kr00k attack, it's important to note that:

• The vulnerability does not reside in the Wi-Fi encryption protocol; instead, it exists in the way vulnerable chips implemented the encryption,
• It doesn't let attackers connect to your Wi-Fi network and launch further man-in-the-middle attacks or exploitation against other connected devices,
• It doesn't let attackers know your Wi-Fi password, and also changing it wouldn't help you patch the issue,
• It doesn't affect modern devices using WPA3 protocol, the latest Wi-Fi security standard.
• However, it does let attackers capture and decrypt some wireless packets (several kilobytes), but there's no way to predict what data it will include,
• Most importantly, the flaw breaks encryption on the wireless layer but has nothing to do with TLS encryption that still secures your network traffic with sites using HTTPS.

So it's not as big of a deal as it sounded.
