    Hello. I bought a used laptop in which I have a problem with my home wifi network. The problem is that it is no longer visible despite the fact that it was previously available and with which the laptop was connected. Currently, all networks are available except mine. I will add that the router and the card work at 2.4GHz. Maybe someone had a similar problem with Win 10.

    WiFi Analizer program and first check the channel on which your AP is broadcasting. Old network cards only work on channels 1 through 11 (sometimes 12). In the settings, delete the remembered wireless networks.

    I found that after restarting the router, the network returns as visible, but only until the first longer sleep. Then it is invisible again and unconnected. It helps to restart or change the channel to another in the router.

    And additionally, hybrid sleep. It can also spoil a person's blood sometimes.

    The problem seems to be solved. I abandoned the router trail and turned to the network card. When trying to update the drivers, the system informed that they are up-to-date, but after installing Driver Booster, it turned out that they are not up-to-date. I suppose the same effect would be obtained by downloading the drivers from the manufacturer's website. Thanks for the help. greetings

    All these programs are used to get you to install a set of Trojans and other crap, and that crap will cause you to have hundreds of more unwanted software installed in a while. It won't be easy now. Preferably format the disk and reinstall the system. Alternatively, Malwarebytes first, then download Eset / Kaspersky Rescue Disc (or preferably both), boot the PC from the disc and scan all drives.

Topic summary

A user reported that their Windows 10 laptop could not detect their home WiFi network operating at 2.4GHz, despite previously being connected. Various troubleshooting steps were suggested, including performing a network reset, checking the WiFi channel using a WiFi Analyzer, and disabling power-saving features on the network card. The user found that restarting the router temporarily resolved the issue, but the network became invisible again after sleep mode. Ultimately, the problem was resolved by updating the network card drivers using Driver Booster, which revealed that the drivers were outdated despite the system's initial report. Users cautioned against using third-party driver update programs due to potential malware risks and recommended obtaining drivers directly from the manufacturer's website.
