Laptop and desktop won't connect to the internet over Wi-Fi?
My laptop and desktop won't connect to the Wi-Fi but my iphone can for some odd reason. This has happened before but i don't understand why it keeps happening. My desktop uses a USB Wi-Fi adapter and my laptop has a built in one. I've tried restarting the modem but nothing happens.
You should have specified the problem in a more detailed way. I need the description of exactly what's happening.
Are you able to discover your network and just not able to connect it, or your Laptop, PC don't even discover the network?
Anyway there may be two causes.
1. Your router is configured to use 802.11ac standard Wi-Fi. Older devices don't recognize this standard. You should make change in the router settings forcing it to use 802.11n or the mixed network.
2. In case you are able to discover connection but your device simply refuses to connect, then you might have changed your network password at some point. In this case go to Start > search for 'Manage Wireless Connections'. There you'll be able to see name of your network. Delete it from there. Now when you try to connect it'll ask for the password. Enter the new password and done.
Hope this helps.

- Why can't my desktop connect to our Wi-Fi at home but does connect to moble hotspot? Suddenly my desktop won't connect to our Wi-Fi. All other devices such as laptops, phones and tablets connects just fine. I tried connecting it to my iphone's hotspot and it works. I tried to unistall and reinstall the wireless adapter but still won't work. I also tried to reboot the router and even tried to change the channel but still failed to make it work. Do you have any other way to make it work? I have windows 7 on my desktop.
- My Wi-Fi won't connect on my laptop but will connect to my other devices (an iPhone and iPad)? I have a MacBook Air. Sometimes it does connect but other times it just won't. It takes ages connecting and then in the end comes up with the exclamation mark or is just blank. Is this a problem with my laptop? I've tried researching the problem but have found nothing.
