Before you try to figure out why your [link|https://fixotip.com/how-to-fix-asus-laptop-wont-connect-to-wifi-using-windows-10/|Asus laptop won’t connect to Wi-Fi|new_window=true], you should restart your router, restart your computer, and try to connect to another network.
Sometimes there’s a problem with the network you always connect to, and if no others are in range, it may seem like a problem with your laptop.
Restarting your router and modem can refresh the connection and reappear. You can also check with your ISP to ensure they aren’t experiencing network issues.
=== Check if Your Wi-Fi is On ===
Many laptops have a hotkey that disables and enables Wi-Fi. It’s usually on the top row of function keys, though it will vary depending on the model. Make sure that your Wi-Fi isn’t turned off on the laptop before you begin.
It’s easy to accidentally disable Wi-Fi when all it takes is one accidental button press.
=== Move Closer to the Access Point: ===
This is a no-brainer. First, make sure the physical Wi-Fi switch in your laptop is on (It is usually accompanied by an indicator light). If it is, the next thing you should try is moving closer to the router to see if that helps connect your laptop to the Wi-Fi.
# Check to See if the Airplane Mode is Turned Off:
# Go to Start and then Settings.
# Now go to Network & Internet.
# Select Airplane Mode and then see if it is turned off. If not turn it off. This should resolve your connection issues. Airplane Mode
# Restart Your Modem and Router.
# This is a solution that works 90% of the time and also what the technical support team at your ISP will tell you to first try when you call them to report the issue.
# Why does this work? Well, the same reason your computer starts functioning again when rebooted.
# Your modem and router are tiny computers in themselves. Restarting means running a fresh boot and discarding much of what was previously causing the problem. To properly restart these devices, follow these steps:
# Unplug the power cable for the router and modem from the power source. (Some devices have a backup battery, so if the lights are still on after you’ve unplugged these devices, locate and remove the internal battery.)
# Wait at least 30 seconds after you’ve turned your Modem and Router off. (This step is important because, like most electronic gadgets, Modems and Routers make use of capacitors. And even though they can’t store a lot of energy, they can store enough to keep a memory chip running for some seconds. Waiting for 30 seconds will drain all capacitors fully and hence clear every bit of memory. This will allow for a clean reboot.)
# Plug the Modem and the Router back into the power source in succession. (Wait for the lights in the modem to stop blinking before plugging on the Router).
# Wait for at least a few minutes. Hopefully, this should do it.
