Windows 10: Wi-Fi networks not showing up.

I’m having a problem with my Windows 10 connecting to the WiFi. None of the internet names show up. I’ve searched all over the internet for some fix and I tried so many things and it doesn’t fix it. I just reset my computer and kept some files and it still didn’t work. I then decided to factory reset my computer then after everything it still didn’t show any network names. This problem started happening yesterday out of nowhere. Please help me.

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!!

 

Laptop won't show list of available networks

We suggest checking the list of available Wi-Fi networks on your laptop.

Please follow these steps:

• Go to Settings (gear icon).
• Select Network and Internet.
• Then Wi-Fi.
• Make sure the Wi-Fi radio button is On.
• Select Show available networks, then you'll be able to see the list of available Wi-Fi networks.

Trouble Changing Wi-Fi Password


I've been following the following steps to change my Wi-Fi password for some time:

1. Launch Control Panel.
2. Click "Network and Internet."
3. Click "Network and Sharing Center."
4. Click "Wi-Fi...."
5. Click "Wireless Properties."
6. Click the Security tab.
7. Check "Show characters."
8. Enter the password in "Network security key."

Those steps have been working just fine, but today I discovered a new wrinkle. If I change the password inside the router first, "Wi-Fi..." doesn't appear in step 4. This isn't much of a problem at home, because I can just change the password in Control Panel before I change it inside the router, but it would be a problem at a public hotspot, or something of that nature. I also tested Brink's instructions in "How to Connect To a Wireless Network in Windows 10," but they don't work for me either. How can I fix this?
