Can't connect my laptop to my network, other devices find it just fine. Any tips?
Recently got internet set up in my new apartment, and I'm having issues getting my laptop to connect to wi-fi. I'm able to connect via an ethernet cable to the modem, but for some reason, my wi-fi doesn't appear on the network list.
I didn't have any issues getting other devices to connect (phone, game systems). I did find out that my laptop might be too old to pick up the 5 GHz signal (laptop is about 4 years old), so I gave a separate name to my 2.4 GHz signal, but that one isn't showing up in my laptop's network list, either.
Anybody got any advice or tips? I'm glad that I can get online in some sort of way, but I don't want to have to stay tethered to the modem in order to do so.
