Why Windows 10.....Why?!!!!!

[Shadow_Storm56]

So yea... moved into an apartment for school and the owners let me use there wifi which is great! Works for all my devices.....except my main pc... which will connect to any other wifi network except the one here... So my question is Why? And how do I fix It? I tried uninstalling the drivers.... reseting drivers... forgetting all connections... just get the same error of can't connect to this network. Anyone got any idea why this is happening?

Maybe the owners put a limit? It sounds very odd... if you can try Ethernet I would do that

The real cause is not Windows 10, but the sun's solar flare specifically targeting that PC from connecting to internet with wifi.

Nope no limit. Idk why it does it but I'm really frustrated with the thing

I wouldn't blame this on Windows or your PC yet. I suspect it is the router. I would definitely try to use an ethernet cable connected to the router if you can. This would at least help eliminate some possibilities.

Even if they didn't set one, you can't connect an unlimited number of devices to a router.  Try Ethernet too, but also disconnect other devices to see if your PC can connect wirelessly.

This might be a dumb question but, have you tried to restart the router and see if it will change anything?

I like blaming Microsoft. In fact, I like blaming really large corporations for things in general. 

I like blaming Canadian poltical parties for everything.

 

Car doesn't start? Conservative Party caused it.

Train late? Liberal problem.

Road closure? Blame BC Liberals.

Compoooooooter won't boot? NDP did it.

I've got the same issue at home with 1 particular machine and my Meraki AP's.

 

Haven't bothered really troubleshooting it as I can't be bothered however I setup the wireless network inside Win10 as a hidden network and it seems to have fixed the issue 4/5 times.

I just gave up and used wired

Try updating your wifi driver, failing that use ethernet; if you're not near the router use powerline adapaters

I updated and did all forms of trouble shooting.... it will connect to any other wifi but this one so it must be something not meshing between it and the router. I just used a wifi extenders Ethernet port and good to go

Can you get another router and swap it?
