    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.

    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!

OUTSTANDING. Thank you so very much. I put all this information in a text file on my computer for future use.

    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?
