How To Fix a Laptop That Won't Connect to Wifi

Cause of Laptop Not Connecting to Wi-Fi
There are many potential causes when a laptop won't connect to Wi-Fi. The most common cause is issues with correctly authenticating with the target network.
Other possible causes include faulty Wi-Fi network configuration, a malfunctioning modem or router, corrupt or failing network hardware or drivers, or antivirus software or firewall blocking your connection.

Even with its stability downsides, Wi-Fi is certainly the most common way to browse the internet without being physically connected to the router.
Thus the laptop is a valuable asset in comparison to a desktop PC. However, while enabling you to move around freely, wireless is more prone to connectivity issues.
And more than a few users reported that they’re unable to connect to a Wi-Fi network with their laptops.
To eliminate the overall connection issues, they stated that every other device can connect (handheld devices mostly), with the laptop being an only exception.
When your laptop won't connect to WiFi, it limits the methods you can use to access the internet. Although it is a very convenient way of getting online, there are several things that can go wrong when using WiFi.
These issues make your connection slow, periodically disrupted, or sometimes the computer just flat out won't connect. If you are experiencing one or more of these issues, here is what you can do to fix it.
This tutorial will apply for computers, laptops, desktops, and tablets running the Windows 7, Windows 8/8.1, Windows 10 and Windows 11 operating systems (Home, Professional, Enterprise, Education) from all supported hardware manufactures, like Dell, HP, Acer, Asus, Toshiba, Lenovo, Huawei and Samsung.

so to fix wifi you need wifi

[@roshnipillai4656]

@Haplus 😶how brilliant

[@s.s.athome7982]

You need a device that can connect to this tutorial, yes. And you probably need an ethernet connection. Use your phone or a smart TV to view the video, use an ethernet cable to hook your computer up to your router. This is a fix for a device NOT for the WiFi. The WiFi works fine, it's the device that's having a problem.
Next lesson: how to tie untied shoes. Stay tuned.

​@@s.s.athome7982I think Bullseye is talking about how you need to download the latest update from the internet.

So what you are saying is - to fix the fact that it won't connect to the internet you recommend downloading the software from the internet. OK Got it

[@ahmedrashed2895]

Just connect it with an ethernet cable then download the driver

[@MikeMadFunnie]

If I’m having problems connecting to my internet..,
How am I going to get on the internet to install the latest drivers..??

"You aren't connected to the internet" 🤣

[@KontKoekje]

I'm getting real desperate. I tried all methods fo fix my laptop connecting to a certain wifi network. Other devices connect just fine to the network, but whenever i type in the (correct) code when connecting. It says secured, no connection.
I tried using the ipconfig to clear the cache, my drivers are all up to date aswell as windows itself, i tried turning everything off and on, also rebooting the laptop after all these attempts and more.
Could really use some help
