Djinn.9245 Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 No idea how to get your wifi, but I don't play games with wifi anyway. Get a network cable and plug it into your modem. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tairgire.4836 Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 Try these:http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-1683558/wifi-detected-devices.htmlhttp://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-2043772/laptop-detecting-wifi.htmlhttp://www.tomsguide.com/answers/id-2741647/laptop-find-network-find-networks.htmlI remember having the same problem as the first one with an older Dell laptop. Whatever crazy auto-configuring it was doing was causing problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marshall Sed.8643 Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 You could try this.... And have you tried resetting your router/modem (press the factory reset switch)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crashburntoo.7431 Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 What about using a wireless bridge? Do you have an old router that you can hardwire to and setup as a bridge to your existing network? Could be cumbersome, but it may solve the immediate problem!

JSmooth.7654 Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 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."

Topalai.4789 Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 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.
