Windows 10: WiFi Connectivity -- Can't see Wi-Fi name anymore

Kelly_Lopez · Oct 30, 2020

When I updated my computer -- I'm not sure when, a few months ago -- it showed that I was no longer connected to my wi-fi even though it was supposed to automatically connect to this network. I now only showed a globe; I am able to see other wi-fi networks and connect with them easily, but not my home wi-fi network. When I used the troubleshooter, the only solution is gives me is to connect to a wi-fi network. It also showed a message of "a network cable is not properly plugged in".

I have read various articles about this, and have not found a single solution.

A list of what I've done:

restart router

restart computer

connected router and computer via ethernet cable -- this did work but I want to be able to connect wirelessly since I have to do work in my room

went to device manager, and configured the network adapters and updated them

I have a HP Pavilion Notebook that I bought in 2016 I think. Not sure if anybody needs any more information than that.

wi fi connection

After windows 1903 update I don't have any wi fi connection or icon showing and have tried many suggestions on how to get it, but none have worked.

Can you provide a step by step instruction on how to get wi fi icon and network.

Wi-Fi CERTIFIED 6 - Next generation Wi-Fi connectivity

Wi-Fi CERTIFIED 6™, the industry certification program based on the IEEE 802.11ax standard, enables next generation Wi-Fi connectivity providing the capacity, coverage, and performance required by users—even in environments with many connected devices such as stadiums and other public venues. Wi-Fi CERTIFIED 6 networks enable lower battery consumption in devices, making it a solid choice for any environment, including smart home and Internet of Things (IoT) uses.

Key benefits of Wi-Fi CERTIFIED 6 technology include:

Higher data rates

Increased capacity

Performance in environments with many connected devices

Improved power efficiency

Wi-Fi CERTIFIED 6 provides the foundation for a host of existing and emerging uses from streaming ultra high-definition movies, to mission-critical business applications requiring high bandwidth and low latency, to staying connected and productive while traversing large, congested networks in airports and train stations.

Innovation and performance in challenging environments

The ubiquity of Wi-Fi and its ability to complement other wireless technologies helps bring the promise of connecting everyone and everything, everywhere, closer to reality. It also creates very diverse and densely populated Wi-Fi environments, requiring technological advances to meet the needs of users. Wi-Fi CERTIFIED 6 delivers improvements and new features that enable Wi-Fi devices to operate efficiently even in dynamic environments involving a large variety of device types.

Key capabilities:

Uplink and downlink orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) increases efficiency and lowers latency for high demand environments

Multi-user multiple input, multiple output (MU-MIMO) allows more data to be transferred at one time, enabling access points (APs) to handle larger numbers of devices simultaneously

Transmit beamforming enables higher data rates at a given range to increase network capacity

1024 quadrature amplitude modulation mode (1024-QAM) increases throughput for emerging, bandwidth-intensive use cases

Target wake time (TWT) significantly improves battery life in Wi-Fi devices, including IoT clients

Wi-Fi CERTIFIED 6 devices bring enhanced performance to users in demanding environments, from IoT and smart home, to businesses running large-scale, mission critical deployments. Virtual and augmented reality applications such as e-Learning, telepresence, and healthcare monitoring become more attainable using Wi-Fi CERTIFIED 6 technology. Wi-Fi CERTIFIED 6 also provides carriers and public Wi-Fi operators with more capabilities to support next generation connectivity uses in retail settings, stadiums, and transportation hubs, including a growing array of location-based applications and services and bandwidth intensive applications.

Wi-Fi generations

Identifying device technology

To help users identify devices that provide the latest Wi-Fi experience, Wi-Fi Alliance has introduced simplified generational names that may appear in device names and product descriptions. Wi-Fi devices supporting the latest generation of connectivity are based on the 802.11ax standard and are known as Wi-Fi 6 devices.

Identifying network connections

Wi-Fi devices may also use a user interface (UI) icon on the display to identify the generation of a network connection. The icons will display a Wi-Fi signal indicator and a numerical representation of the connection. Icons will adjust as users move between Wi-Fi networks that provide a different user experience. When a user device displays a signal indicator icon accompanied by the number 6, indicating a Wi-Fi 6 connection, that device is utilizing the most advanced version of Wi-Fi available.

Windows 10 stop automatically connecting to random new wi-fi networks

Hi,

I have searched a lot, but all the tutorials I found only explained how to not connect automatically to a known wi-fi network or how to disable wi-fi sense... but this is not what I am looking for...

PROBLEM:

When my laptop (Windows 10 Pro X64) is not connected to a network and the wireless adapter is on, it will automatically connect to any random new unsecured wi-fi network... The only way I have now to avoid this is to disable my wi-fi adapter.

UNUSEFUL TUTORIALS I FOUND ON THE INTERNET:

How to manually uncheck the option for a particular wi-fi network not to connect automatically in Network Properties. This is not what I am looking for. This would suggest that everytime I power my computer. I would have to manually go through all the available wi-fi networks and unclick them all...

How to disable Wi-Fi Sense. This is not useful, because I don't even have a Wi-Fi sense option in my computer where the tutorials say it should be.

EXPECTED BEHAVIOR:

I am looking for an option to tell my computer to stop connecting randomly to unknown wi-fi networks like an hyperactive, reckless idiot.

PERSONAL COMMENT:

Honestly, why would any respectable company think that it could be somewhat wise or secure to do this... Anyone's computer could just randomly connect to any hacker's wi-fi network without the user even knowing it...

Any solutions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
