  1. My laptop cannot connect to WiFi anymore


    I just noticed after not using this particular laptop for a couple of weeks that it is now unable to connect to WiFi for whatever reason. When I go to network and internet there isn’t even a button to select a wireless network or try to connect to the internet. Whenever I go to device manager and look at the wireless driver there is a yellow alert symbol next to the WiFi adapter. I’ve tried selecting and updating it but that does nothing, and then selecting a past driver but those don’t work either. Under network and internet there is option to select status either and change my network settin

    Internet through wifi connection

    Hi Sammy,

    A few possible reasons can cause WiFi connection issues. To help us identify the cause of this problem, we would like to know the following information:

    • Can you connect to the WiFi hotspot of your router? If yes, what is the status of the connection?
    • Does your laptop automatically connect to the WiFi? Do you need to type a password when connecting?
    • Can your laptop detect other WiFi hotspots around your location?

    In the meantime, let's run the Network troubleshooter while connected using WiFi. The Network troubleshooter can help diagnose and fix common connection problems. To run it, follow the steps below:

    • Click Start.
    • In the search bar, type Network problems, and then select Identify and repair network problems from the list of results.
    • Follow the steps in the troubleshooter and see if that fixes the problem.

    Keep us updated on the status of the issue, and we will be glad to assist you further.

    My laptop cannot connect to WiFi anymore

    Laptops cannot access desktops via WIFI

    I have 3 desktops (all on Windows 10 1803) connected on my LAN. After following this forum for some times and did all the steps as suggested by forum member, access denied, all my desktops are able to view and access one another. I have a printer connected to PC1, and managed to connect all the other 2 PCs to have the shared printer.

    I also have 2 more laptops (both Asus with the same Windows 10 1803) connected via WIFI. Performed all the same steps as per the desktops, but I was not able to access PC1. I was able to view all the 3 desktops from the file explorer, but I just can't access all the desktops. However, I was able to access the Asus laptops from desktop PC1.

    Anyone able to assist on this matter? Any assistance is highly appreciated.
