  1. WIN10 Desktop PC won't detect SKY broadband wifi network


    Switched from BT to Sky Max hub broadband. Every device in the house is connected and working fine, yet my Windows 10 PC does not even see the network, though it does see the SKY network belonging to the neighbours. Have tried every possible solution available including forcing only 2.4ghz band via router . Drivers are all updated and the PC would connect to mobile hotspot etc, this seems to be a very old issue and resolved with sky broadband based on information available on the web but none of it helped, any suggestions?WIN10 homeVersion 22H2

    W10 can connect to wider internet but cannot access web pages

    I have an odd issue with my W10 laptop linked to Sky broadband in the UK via wifi using a Sky router. The effect is that while I can actually access the internet (I can send and receive emails using Outlook and can connect to other machines using TeamViewer) I cannot access any web site (Google, BBC etc). There is no specific error message, merely that the access request timed out and a suggestion that it may be to do with proxy. I have tried the following:
    1. Other systems (W10 and ios) can access web sites using the same Sky router (therefore probably not a router problem)
    2. I have sent and received emails using Outlook, so the broadband connection is working (probably not a Sky problem)
    3. I have tried two different browsers (Firefox and Edge), no connection (not a browser problem)
    4. I am using Windows Defender and have:
      1. Made sure that Firefox is in the list of allowed systems in its Firewall, no connection after a reboot
      2. Turned off the Firewall and tried again - no connection
    My next step will be to re-install Windows, but has anyone got any other suggestions? Could it be some sort of virus (I have carried out a complete virus check using Defender) So - any suggestions?

    Windows 10 and Sky Fibre WiFi connection issues

    I have just upgraded from Sky Broadband to Sky Fibre and also have Sky Q - Sky provided a new router and I have installed this and connected all my devices (10) to the router using WiFi including this laptop that I am currently using which is running with
    Windows 8.1. I have another laptop that is currently running Windows 10 and it will not stay connected to the WiFi.

    I have so far completed every one of the steps in Microsoft virtual assistant with the exception of uninstalling the Network adapter driver and re-installing this

    Before the upgrade I had no issues with connectivity and I can connect to the internet using an Ethernet cable

    I'm really struggling with this and am at the point where I am going to uninstall Windows 10 and re-install Windows 8.1

    Any advice gratefully received

    Andrew
