I'm having some weird WiFi issue at work that maybe someone here can help me. I was able to find and connect to the work WiFi fine for two weeks. Then the following week I couldn't connect or even find the network at all. Everyone else can find and connect to the wifi including my phone but my laptop just dsnt show or list or connect at all. I even tried a reinstall and still no luck. Any help? |

is this problem specific to just the said WiFi, or You cann't connect to other wifi spots too (regarding your lappy)?

Look at your keyboard and see if there is a button that turns WiFi on and off. On my HP it is on the F12 key. I am always h*tting it by accident when trying to adjust my volume.

This problem seems to be specific to this particular WiFi hotspot. I can see a list of about 20 other hotspots all around. It's only this particular one that I can't find. Tried to reset the router or switch it on then off but no luck. I can connect to other hotspots even at home. That's why this problem is so strange. And before I was able to connect to it on two occasions.

It's a Dell xps 1645 so there is a dedicated WiFi on and off key and I am aware when it's on and off. Issue is not switching off. The wifi stays. Can see all other hotspots around except the very one I am meant to connect to for work. Is there perhaps a workaround to connecting besides using an ether net cable. Or a solution. I even did a reinstall and I still couldn't pick up that particular hotspot and it's name hasn't changed and others around me can see and connect to it.

Contact the wifi admin, maybe you are blocked from using it. If you have permission, try to set a manual connection.

I don't think I'm blocked unless perhaps there is a system that kicks in maybe after a certain quota of data has been used as there is no WiFi admin. It's at the workplace and no IT techs on site. However being blocked is the only logical explanation I can also think so. How do I go about finding out if I'm blocked since there is no WiFi admin as far as I know?

Also, if I'm blocked should I not atleast be able to see the wifi point but perhaps not be able or allowed to connect. In my case it's like it has disappeared completely from my laptops radar. Are there 3rd party WiFi apps I can use to find and test connectivity of the above mentioned hotspot?

have you tried turning off your antivirus program and checking to see if you can connect ? it could be your AV that has blacklisted the connection.

when I reinstalled windows it asked to connect to a wifi hotspot before I even installed any drivers or Antivirus. And even then I could not pick it up. I had not changed any settings or tampered with any settings and was only reinstalling to hopefully fish out the problem but even then i could not find nor connect to the said wifi hotspot. Strangest issue I have ever experienced. What does my head in is I'm able to find about 20 other wifi points around but not this one!!!

Try updating the router's firmware using another laptop that has no connection issues. Use this address to access the router's administrative interface 'http://192.168.1.1' and while you are at it, check whether DHCP is enabled.
