I need help or ill miss halloweenies!


Recommended Posts

I have been ALL OVER THE INTERNET and no answers...

My home network wont show up on my connections list. Shows up on phones, other laptop. I see some of the neighbours wifis.

Uninstalled adapterInstalled latest driversNot in biosConnect synchOff/onNo airplanesNo hidden ssidNot proximityNot channels

Is like 1T/second. speeds fancy new space modem.

No LAN connection because the modem does not have one(!???) The modem is plugged via lan cable right in wall.

Isp wont talk to me because i get free wifi from condo.

So do I need to buy a new net adapter?And why is the 8 year old laptop able to do it?

Thank youPlz dont delete

I remember having the same problem as the first one with an older Dell laptop. Whatever crazy auto-configuring it was doing was causing problems.

My suggestion would be to try manually adding the wifi name and password to your computer instead of letting it auto-detect. These instructions are for windows 10. But the idea is the same for win 7.http://ecross.mvps.org/howto/connect-to-wireless-network-with-windows-10.htmOn the website, make sure to scroll down to "Method 2: Manually create a network profile or connect to a hidden network."

Check the supported protocols for the router and the laptop.Fancy new router might mean it only supports the 802.11n or later protcols on 5GHz while the old laptop only supports 802.11a/b/g on 2.4 GHz.If the router can be set to use the 2.4Ghz frequency that might work with the laptop but will make wifi on 5Ghz devices slower.Otherwise get a wifi dongel for the laptop (or a new laptop) that supports whatever the router uses.
