My laptop can detect my neighbour's wifi but not mine

gman67

Hi all,

I am experiencing a very weird problem with my work laptop, it actually does not detect my wifi network but detects all my neighbour's.

My other laptops and even blackberry do detect my wifi network, I can connect onto it without any problem.

I tried to connect the faulty laptop onto the network with a cable, that works perfectly. I also connected perfectly onto the mc donal wifi yesterday and connect every day automatically onto the wifi at the office.

So when I open the available network window, there are only my neighbour's network. I refreshed it, I repaired with windows but doesn't work whereas my personal laptop is being connected onto this network....there's something I don't work out....

if anyone have an idea of what that could be, please help me....

thanks in anticipation

Try to connect WIFI after removing all the wifi profiles in your laptop. You can find the wifi profiles by going through the WIFI utility.
Go to Control Panel\Manage Wireless Networks and remove all the WIFI listed there and give a try again.

Good Luck!!

Check Access Point mode, is it b or g or mixed mode. it is possible that you have 802.11b card in your laptop and AP configurred for g mode or otherway around.

Set your wi-fi detection setting to default.

Let's try it this way, using your other laptop that is able to detect your wifi connection, enter the router page.. Normally you type in 192.168.1.1 on your web browser. And then double check your wireless settings, and make sure that its in discoverable mode.
