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.
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!
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
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.👍
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
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.

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.
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!

Thanks for this informative and easy to follow video. I went through all seven and still no luck. Have the global icon not wifi. 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.
@@GeorgeGates No. It was my Fathers laptop. He's taken it into a repair shop to get it checked out. I noticed his wifi device in device manager would show as working properly, but it wasn't. So something wasn't right.
@@Earthly23_ Turns out laptop was cracked and seperating in the corner and everytime you open it was like going to fall apart. The repair guy said that was contributing to connection being cut off (to do with the wiring stuff inside). They have fixed the crack and laptop no longer tries to seperate and is working again. Hope you find a fix soon also!
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.
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.
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 🙌
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
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
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?
So frustrated after buying new adaptor still didn't work. left it dust up for a few months. got your vid. uninstalled, no change, update the list of 3, first 2 didn't work, finally 3rd one worked, 5 min 30 sec into your vid. Thank you so much for explaining everything so well & enlarging items to see easily, easy to follow. I'm now a new sub.
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.
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.
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!
Thank you tye Windows WLAN service was not running and set to Manual! Updated it and was able to see the wifi symbol. Unfortunately i cant see all the available networks in my home. I am not sure what is preventing that.
I was almost at the point of buying another laptop because my Lenovo yoga 300 was not connecting to my wifi. I decided to watch this video as the last resort before I ordered a new laptop ; I followed the steps and it was resolved. Great Video
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.

did all the steps but it didn't work to me. one thing I noticed there is no WIFI settings in my "Network Adopters", maybe that's the problem any suggestion for this? already clicked the "scan for hardware changes"?
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.
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!
All 7 steps tried, all failed. We just purchased this refurbishes laptop. It would not connect to our home network. It will connect to other known networks such as my iphone hotspot, which is connected to this home network. We reset our modem / router, restarted the computer, and it worked. Then it started again with "cannot connect to this network, and I have tried everything you've mentioned here, and other fixes multiple times. Help please!
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.
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.
so I bought my computer at ebay and its lenovo thinkpad t450. I keep running into this issue of wifi automatically disconnecting to the internet/wifi itself. Will step 1 work in this situation?
What do I do if I don't see the one that says Intel? I just see the miniports and the other stuff on my pc. I've been having wifi issues and its built in wifi. Also I have a wifi Adapter but I still have WiFi issues. It is a new pre-built gaming desktop. I thought about doing Ethernet, but I don't want to move the modem and router. Honestly I don't think doing that last part would really help. I think its the wifi in the computer itself. Do you recommend any Wifi Adapters?
3:50AM, about 12 hours after discovering my friend's laptop no longer listed available networks to connect to! Even formatted the PC , which did not fix it! Your video saved the day!!! Step 1, especially the last part of it, did the trick!!! Thank you so much!! It's well and truly way past my bedtime 😂😂💤
You are amazing. Thank you so much! I just spent $75 at a computer shop and they were not helpful. I appreciate you so much! My internet is working again. Great video.

I was down for two weeks. I followed the uninstall wifi adapter step and everything began working. Thanks
Thanks!
(Fix 1 The Wifi Adapter) selecting different Wifi Adapter worked for me. Excellent solutions & a very good teacher!!! Many thanks!!!!💯💯💯
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!
All 7 steps tried, all failed. We just purchased this refurbishes laptop. It would not connect to our home network. It will connect to other known networks such as my iphone hotspot, which is connected to this home network. We reset our modem / router, restarted the computer, and it worked. Then it started again with "cannot connect to this network, and I have tried everything you've mentioned here, and other fixes multiple times. Help please!
On step one, I was able to connect and refresh to see the isp in the window. Finally, updated and connected to the internet! Thanks!! Awesome video!!
wifi icon was missing and first fix worked! thank you
You're a life saver. My laptop couldn't connect to wifi, I had to restore advanced internet settings 😢. Thank you
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.
This was very helpful. The option to restore advanced settings was what did the trick for me.
Uninstalling and then reinstalling the WiFi adapter did the trick. Thank you!
I used the reset network adapter & IT WORKED.Thanks a million.
The "internet options" alternative worked for me. Thank You
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.
Uninstalling and reinstalling the driver fixed mine. Thank you.
What helped me was repair advanced settings. Thank you
OMG! After trying to fix this problem for over an hour, I found your video and solved the problem with step #2. Thank you so so very much!!
Excellent work. I was able to solve my connectivity problem. Thanks
so I bought my computer at ebay and its lenovo thinkpad t450. I keep running into this issue of wifi automatically disconnecting to the internet/wifi itself.
Will step 1 work in this situation?
Thank you for this fix. This 80 year old non-geek is very grateful.
Thanks very much. 1st fix was the winner. Uninstalling the adapter and scanning got the internet back.
What do I do if I don't see the one that says Intel? I just see the miniports and the other stuff on my pc. I've been having wifi issues and its built in wifi. Also I have a wifi Adapter but I still have WiFi issues. It is a new pre-built gaming desktop. I thought about doing Ethernet, but I don't want to move the modem and router. Honestly I don't think doing that last part would really help. I think its the wifi in the computer itself. Do you recommend any Wifi Adapters?
Fixed the issue 6mins in. Thanks you!!!!
#1 Fixed the Wifi adapter, and it restored my network setting options for my personal router.
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!
Thank you. Fixed after updating the second driver. I have been on this since morning, and finally, it has worked. Phew
I was able to see my network once I updated the driver. Thank you so very much.🎉I'm connected!!!🎉🎉🎉
Wow! I tried solution #1 and within 5 minutes I was able to enter my wi-fi password & connect. Thank you very much. 👍👍👍👍👍
3:50AM, about 12 hours after discovering my friend's laptop no longer listed available networks to connect to! Even formatted the PC , which did not fix it! Your video saved the day!!! Step 1, especially the last part of it, did the trick!!! Thank you so much!! It's well and truly way past my bedtime 😂😂💤
You are amazing. Thank you so much! I just spent $75 at a computer shop and they were not helpful. I appreciate you so much! My internet is working again. Great video.
Great video, finally worked after I started manually updating the driver from the laptop options 😊. Many thanks Josh!
