Hello,

Thank you for posting the query on Microsoft Community. I am glad to assist you on this.

There can be a number of reasons for wireless connection issue in Windows, some common issues that can cause these problems are:

• Corrupted or incompatible drivers.
• Missing updates.
• Network connection settings.
• Hardware or software problems.
• Inappropriate distance from the router or obstruction.
• Interference with other devices.

A wireless network router has a limited broadcast range. The further the computer is from the router, the weaker the broadcast signal. Solid objects, such as walls, metal furniture, and electrical appliances might interfere
with the signal and decrease the usable range.

Follow the methods below and check if it works.
