PC not connecting to wifi

[Baz]

Morning all

I have had to move my PC from its usual location which was hard wired to my router. I am trying to use wifi to connect to the internet without success. My PC is able to see the wifi from my router and iphone, however when I input the password try & connect to either source or my mifi unit, I get the message " Can’t connect to this network".
PC will only connect if using the RJ45 cables
PC is running windows 10 I can’t see anything in the settings to alter. Am I missing something?

Have you tried to run the 'troubleshooter'?
Right click on the network icon/troubleshoot problems. It normally resolves the basic problems. If this doesn't help, you might need to reset the IP configuration in CMD.

life is too short to dick about with such things - get a powerline adapter and use the RJ45 connection. https://www.google.com/search?q=pow...biw=1366&bih=625&dpr=1#spd=589713493518725055

Hi Baz

Try this. it could be an issue with the driver. I've had that myself in the past. Computer could see network, but wouldn't connect.

If I recall correctly, I just deleted the driver and it re-installed itself. Do a search for your laptop/model and or the the wireless device.

Don't listen to the Wi Fi haters

Thanks for the suggestions, no joy though.

Do you have both 2.4GHz and 5GHz, you could try connecting to the 2.4Hz only if is available as a separate network.

Have a look at this link and try some of these too. Some will be duplicates for what you've already tried, but there is likley some new stuff.

The driver trick usually works, but this link delves a little deeper, so may help: -

That might have sorted it. I switched off the "Real time protection" in Windows defender and the PC connected to my iphone hotspot. Still connects after i turned the protection back on. Lets see how it goes.
