For some reason, my laptop cannot connect to Wi-Fi, but my other devices can. What can I do?

You can try several things, but first make sure you didn’t inadvertently disable the connection by pressing the Wi-Fi connection key on your keyboard while you were typing. If that’s not the case try one of these solutions:

  • Control Panel > Network and Internet > Network and Sharing Center > Change Adapter Settings (on the right) > Right-Click the connection > Disable > Wait for few seconds > Re-enable.
  • Update your Windows and drivers
  • Remove AVG if you have it
  • Update the firmware of your router
  • See if there are any loose connections
  • Restart the router
  • If these methods don’t work, type in ‘Device Manager’ on start > Network Adapters > Right-click the device > Uninstall > Restart your Laptop.
