Why Is My Computer Not Connecting to Wi-Fi?
When a computer cannot join Wi-Fi, check that Wi-Fi is enabled, the correct network is selected and other devices can still connect.
A simple explanation
A saved password may be outdated, airplane mode may be on, or the router may be unavailable. Note whether the network name appears at all.
Step-by-step checks
- Check that Wi-Fi is switched on and airplane mode is off.
- Select your usual network and re-enter its password yourself if you are sure it is the right one.
- Check whether a phone or another computer can connect to the same network.
- Restart the computer and router normally if other devices also have trouble.
Troubleshooting notes
Avoid forgetting a network or resetting network settings until you know the password and understand the effect.
