AMAZING AMAZING RESEARCH! I haven’t been able to find my network for about a year and left my laptop alone after failing so so many attempts. I called Dell and they tried to charge me for $100 for a service fee and I said no way. After another shot and 2 days extra of research THIS VIDEO WAS THE ONE. Thank you so so much for your intelligence. I truly appreciate it!!!
Right!!!! I just fixed something they were going to charge me for 😢 and it’s been a hard month hence I’m searching UA-cam 😂😂 This video was super helpful
It is currently 10:16 PM and I have multiple assignments to get done. I searched hours for a solution and I found this video. Earned a sub. Thank you. It's time to get cramming on my early high school years.
I’m a stubborn senior who wouldn’t give up trying to fix the Wi-Fi on my hubby’s laptop. I found this very pleasant and patient man and followed his instructions faithfully and I’m delighted that solution three worked. And the fact that I understood his English was definitely a plus, no offense meant to others.
WOW! This guy is a genius! I know nothing about computers, and I just went very slowly, doing each step he told me to do, and by the fourth option he gave me (uninstalling and reinstalling hardware driver) my internet connect worked again! THANK YOU! Live saver
Solved by updating the second driver on my list. This is how this type of videos should be done, without silly and annoying bombastic intros, just straight to the point! Thank you!
Thanks to your comment, I went back to driver update and solved the problem. The first time I tried to update the driver, I chose the automatic search, which didn't work. When I chose the driver manually from the list, it worked like a charm. Great video @AskaComputerGeek Thank you!
Oh my goodness, 7 minutes in and you fixed the problem just following your instructions and I’ve been struggling with this for over a year. You are amazing.👍
Gosh! Thank you so much! I've been trying to fix this since yesterday. My laptop suddenly couldn't connect to my home wifi, although all my other devices could connect. But step 2 worked like magic. You are super thorough! A million stars for you!
Great video, I'm an independent doctor and it's really nice to be able to fix the problem myself and not call an expert and charge you lots of money for an easy fix. Thank you very much.
Gained a sub for sure! I consider myself pretty tech savvy: the fix for my Windows 10 laptop not recognizing current routers was 1) Device Settings > Network Adapters > Update Driver > Choose Alternative Network Wifi Adapter (Windows, not Intel)! Worked! Thank you!!
Was fighting with the connection between my PC and my internet router for 2 days then I stumbled upon this video and in 6 minutes my connection was back. Solution 2 helped make that happen and I’m so grateful I found this video! Very useful and easy to navigate with thorough instructions for any expertise affiliated with technology whether beginner or expert. Thank you 🙏
My WiFi icon still not showing up. My WiFi Direct Services Connection Manager Service won't leave off stopped. I right click it & properties don't appear.
Your tip of trying other drivers listed on my computer worked. I have been looking for three days for a solution and you are the only one who suggested this. Your video is extremely easy to follow. Thank you so very much.
I spent over an hour working with my internet service as well as the laptop troubleshooting. I logged on to this video and this man is a genius. Thank you for the clear and precise instructions.
I was pulling out what little hair I had trying to fix this problem. You fixed it in two minutes. Thank you so much, people like you are what make youtube great.
2:352:40 So amazing, well worth listening to the whole video. Each of your videos have helped me navigate my computer problems. I appreciate your easy, quick, no nonsense way of explaining to us. Thank you.
Wow! After a windows update what seems like a few months ago, my wifi was no longer showing my home network but every other network was appearing. I’d tried way too many other fixes and left it alone for months. Your tip about reinstalling the driver did the trick beautifully! Thanks a bunch for your help!
So I’ve been trying to figure this out half of my morning. I came across this and it worked very well for me. Thanks for being so thorough and specific.
Thanks for the info. I used the update driver and install new drivers. It got me back from no WiFi adapter available to connectivity. So appreciated! Cheers!
I spent a week looking for a solution to my wifi issues. Turns out my WLAN AutoConfig was reset during a windows 11 update. Could not have fixed it without this video. You have excellent communication skills and practical knowledge. Thank You!
OMG, it's actually a REAL video that actually helped me instead of click bait. The 1st troubleshooting issue worked for me. Uninstalling and reinstalling the Network adapter. I was having a nervous wreck because my laptop was saying I couldn't connect to wifi. Thank you dearly Josh 🙏🏾✊🏾💯

When I click on the global icon the wifi box is there but it bring no list of available networks at all. It was great to go through all the different options you gave though. Thanks for the learning.

Hope you find a fix soon also!
Three years after you posted, still helped. I checked network adapter and did troubleshooting and it detected problem. Wifi appeared at the bottom finally. That was alarming. It worked like magic. Like did it just suddenly appear? And who is the troubleshooter, me I guess. Thank you!!
Thanks for the video and I believe it worked for most people My laptop is able to connect to mobile hotspot but unable to connect to my home wifi(gives that can't cannot to network error) although other devices at my home are able to connect to my home wifi, I am confused where is the fault, is there anything wrong with my router or laptop? Can you please help me?
My laptop recognizes all wifi locations in my range except my own home wifi. Other laptops of mine work fine on our home network. unfortunately, none of the suggested fixes worked. Thanks anyway.
Josh, you are a darling. I have been in despair for the last 24 hours, but fix #2 worked beautifully for me. I think that the work you are doing is just wonderful and I thank you from the bottom of my heart.
I just bought a Dell Inspiron 17 inch model 5755 from Ebay and everything worked except when I tried to connect to the internet it keep saying can not connect to this internet I must have tried 8 times so I went on my desktop and came across your video and like magic Your video help me 100% and now my computer can connect to my Internet so Thank you Thank you.
Hi Josh. I have done everything you said and no joy. I have had this issue before and it usually happens after a Windows 10 update. I have uninstalled all updates that I was allowed to uninstall but no joy whatsoever. Any suggestions?
Same here. Everything was working fine. Computer did forced update, and now, no Wi-Fi options at all. Went through all the steps with no luck. Thank you though. Very easy to follow. Not sure what to do next.
Awesome stuff!! I only had to uninstall and install the adapter and all was good. I like your talk through is brilliant and clear. Awesome and thank you 🙌
My pc worked fine and would connect just fine for the first couple months of having it and i reset it and now there is no wifi adapter, i've checked hidden icons in device manager and i don't know how to download one.
Search for your pc model's wifi adapter on other device and download it, then transfer it using Bluetooth or pendrive or by usb cable, and install it in your pc
Dude u are actually such a saviour, you have fixed like 5 problems in my laptop because u get straight to the point and everything is true , you earned a like and a sub. Thanks
10:42 AM 4/29/23 😊Worked for me! Easy to follow, successfully connected to my internet network after completing steps 1 and 2. Awesome video, liking and subscribing. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Hi Josh, really excellent comprehensive coverage. Step 7 has given me focus. I have no WiFi Available Network List! All our Android tablets show WLAN selection of secured local neighbours' WiFi routers. Windows 10 on dated Pavillion G6 Ralink RT 5390, recently unsupported on Microsoft Windows Catalogue. All that's left is to replace that Firmware? Easy access under service panel, what should I pay for this replacement if available?
I'm very sorry to hear that. If your device is new it may bring a Wi-Fi adapter which is a physical thing. It's a USB that you have to connect to your computer. I hope you didn't lose it since it's very small. I hope that helps.
Your video saved me from buying a new computer. After hours trying to figure out why my WIFI options disappeared, I followed your 1st FIX. I didn't see any adapter listed with WIFI in title but I still went along with "Scan For Hardware Changes" and the internet just popped right up.. a new line item was added to the list "Bluetooth Device" PAN, it wasn't there before the SCAN. thank you.
A friends PC/Windows 8.1 - Checked everything up to 6, in the services dialog box 'WiFi direct services connection' does not appear in the list, also; right click on my WiFi connections list does not open a drop down option to 'forget this network' also; my PC says 'can't connect to this network' but my other devices do. Thx
Wow! It is working!! I tried for weeks! I was getting WiFi at times and I would click on some page and lose it! This happened several times! I did try the regular settings and nothing had worked!! So, followed your steps and believed the point of fix occurred at the DRIVERS steps! This has been wonderful instructions.
Thank you for the help! Internet Options -> Advanced -> Restore Advanced Settings was the one that found the missing WiFi that my phone could see but laptop couldn't.
Love uh man , i was trying to fix my wifi issue ,i had an assignment and wifi got turn off Since yesterday i was trying it With your first step to fix wifi My wifi is working ,really thankful to youuu
After restore advanced setting I restarted my PC and I changed my wifi from 5.0 GHz to 2.4Ghz and it worked. Before now I've changed from 5.0 to 2.4GHz but never worked. Thank you very much!
3 years later and this video is still providing solutions. It was number four for me. One minute I was connected to WiFi then next I wasn't . Everything I tried dis not work. But this video rescued me.
The Wifi adapter trick worked! Initially I tried to uninstall the adapter before, but people failed to mention to scan for hardware changes! Appreciate it!
Many thanks. You really helped me a lot. My laptop fell last night and I found today it's not connecting the wifi network. You really solved it. Lots of Love.
You did it!!!! Thank you! We were trying to find the Wi Fi connection for a newer Lenovo laptop. Clueless how it disconnected. I got to minute 5:47 on your excellent help video and I am so grateful! Thank you!!! You are the best! Thanks for being there!!!
OMG.. so I have tried for about 3 days so many different videos on and on and on.... I saw your video.. I came home turned it on the very first step that included device manager uninstalling and then action tab and then update the driver instantly I router showed up and I am now on my Wi-Fi internet with my laptop I didn't even have to restart my computer. Thank you so much, now I need to debate whether I want to stick with 10 home or 10 Pro my original system was Windows 7 home
My network adapter did not have the name WiFi in it so I guessed it was the Intel(R) Dual Band Wireless-AC 3160. Uninstalled it, then reinstalled it, and my new Netgear Router showed right up. OUTSTANDING. Thank you so very much. I put all this information in a text file on my computer for future use.
you are the best, none of the other videos cover this. I was going mad before finding this one. I had to reinstall the intelR, system wasn't seeing it for some reason. I had wasterd a whole hour downloading drivers on another computer and transferring it over via usb. now I can relax . thanks
you are a lifesaver. thank you so much. step #2 worked for me. restore advance settings. it then brought up available networks and just put in mysecurity key and was back online. thanks so much.
Thank you so much! Just got a new network and no one could figure out why my laptop couldn't see the new network! Thank you SO much updating driver fixed it!!
This is the first time i will be commenting on yt videos… this instruction really helped me, been having issues connecting my laptop to WIFI and with this video I found out it was just a small issue.. thank you so much ❤❤❤
I cannot thank you enough! I didnt have to take my laptop anywhere and get charged for fixing it and I was able to finish work. Thank you thank you thank you! ❤
Great video I have been searching for days on how to fix it, this is the first video I came across that actually helped. Fix 1, is the one that resolved my issues btw.
My problem was a little different. I have a desktop and a laptop not able to find the two networks I have at home on either computer. I can see other networks, just not mine. However, the other wireless devices I have are able to detect both networks. The very first option, going into the device manager and uninstalled/reinstall the Wi-Fi adapter fixed the issue on my desktop. However, nothing was able to fix it on my laptop. Thanks for making this video. You did a great job on your presentation!

Holy crap bro!!! You just saved me moments before I had to record my podcast!!! You're literally the BEST!!! 10,000 thank you's!!!
Thank you the step Wi-Fi adapter helped me!!! I can see my wifi icon and I'm back online after putting in my passwords. You're the best!
I was about to try fix 1. However I decided to try fix 2 as it was a quick reset of internet settings. And it worked! Thank you so much! 🙏
Many thanks. You really helped me a lot. My laptop fell last night and I found today it's not connecting the wifi network. You really solved it. Lots of Love.
You did it!!!! Thank you! We were trying to find the Wi Fi connection for a newer Lenovo laptop. Clueless how it disconnected. I got to minute 5:47 on your excellent help video and I am so grateful! Thank you!!! You are the best! Thanks for being there!!!
Wow! I tried solution #1 and within 5 minutes I was able to enter my wi-fi password & connect. Thank you very much. 👍👍👍👍👍
OMG.. so I have tried for about 3 days so many different videos on and on and on.... I saw your video.. I came home turned it on the very first step that included device manager uninstalling and then action tab and then update the driver instantly I router showed up and I am now on my Wi-Fi internet with my laptop I didn't even have to restart my computer. Thank you so much, now I need to debate whether I want to stick with 10 home or 10 Pro my original system was Windows 7 home
My network adapter did not have the name WiFi in it so I guessed it was the Intel(R) Dual Band Wireless-AC 3160. Uninstalled it, then reinstalled it, and my new Netgear Router showed right up. OUTSTANDING. Thank you so very much. I put all this information in a text file on my computer for future use.
You did it for me, man. I’ve tried more than 10 videos to no avail. But you solved it with the first fix!
Thanks, man. Thank!!❤❤
It worked for me when you directed me to Device Manager and uninstalled the Wi-Fi adapter then reinstall. That did the trick.😊 Thanks for the video.
Step 1 worked for me, finding the wifi under the Network adapters and uninstalling and reinstalling the software! Thanks!
If you have Wi-Fi issues in Windows 10 You came to the right place. Absolutely the best video. Thank you!!
you are the best, none of the other videos cover this. I was going mad before finding this one. I had to reinstall the intelR, system wasn't seeing it for some reason. I had wasterd a whole hour downloading drivers on another computer and transferring it over via usb. now I can relax . thanks
you are a lifesaver. thank you so much. step #2 worked for me. restore advance settings. it then brought up available networks and just put in mysecurity key and was back online. thanks so much.
It was the "restore advanced internet settings" for me. Thank you so much. Us non-geeks need your skills - thank you once again

You are a genius!!!! Thank you. The fix for me was needing to uninstall and then reinstall my adaptor. Cheers!
Omg had my test due for tonight and WiFi was not connecting for the past 3 days, and the first step fixed it
Thank you ❤
Step 2 restoring advanced internet settings worked for me. Thank you!!!
#1 Fixed the Wifi adapter, and it restored my network setting options for my personal router.
Great video, finally worked after I started manually updating the driver from the laptop options 😊. Many thanks Josh!
(Fix 1 The Wifi Adapter) selecting different Wifi Adapter worked for me. Excellent solutions & a very good teacher!!! Many thanks!!!!💯💯💯
Wow. I can't thank you enough for this. Uninstalling the adapter and then scanning for hardware changes worked for me!
Great video I have been searching for days on how to fix it, this is the first video I came across that actually helped. Fix 1, is the one that resolved my issues btw.
My problem was a little different. I have a desktop and a laptop not able to find the two networks I have at home on either computer. I can see other networks, just not mine. However, the other wireless devices I have are able to detect both networks. The very first option, going into the device manager and uninstalled/reinstall the Wi-Fi adapter fixed the issue on my desktop. However, nothing was able to fix it on my laptop. Thanks for making this video. You did a great job on your presentation!
I tried step one and my PC can now connect to wifi, thanks so much
Thank you a million times. I watched a handful of videos and got it right with the first try
