That was the first thing I did. No good. Well, actually I first tried restarting, then shut down. The funny thing is that you know when you connect something you usually hear a tone and see it connected down below? That never happened this time. So I couldn't go through the usually unplugging procedure.
What exactly is happening when you try to connect to the wireless network? Does it say, "cannot connect to the wireless network," or "Connected, no internet," or does it look like it connects, but websites don't load? Or are you not seeing any wireless networks at all?
I can see our network, but can't connect. We have had occasional problems with our wireless ( in fact we are this morning) but that's not what was happening last night, as my husband and my phone were accessing it just fine.
Maybe 15-20 years ago the company that I was at was opening a satellite office. I was a manager type at this point and running point on outfitting it for tech, so countless review/design sessions, 18 hour days so I didn't miss anything. The whole shebang. I didn't miss a fucking thing. Whelp, for months after that I'd get incessant complaining about wireless performance. This was before the days of what is essentially auto-configuring wireless, so we spent countless man hours trying to track down the error. You can guess where this is going. One of the trunks heading to the access points was in the drop ceiling above the microwave. The tens of times we were over there troubleshooting apparently coincided with the microwave not being used.
Yah... it is one of those where you pretty much have to "catch it in the act". Recreate what you were doing? No problem. Same time of day? No problem. Oh, do I smell reheated salmon? Problem!
Glad it's working now when hard wired, but just a note in your troubleshooting, when the phones are working and the wifi on your pc is not, it's likely the phones are connecting via their wireless data plan (5g, 4g etc). Best to disable your mobile data when troubleshooting a potential wireless network issue.
Oh, I didn't make myself clear. The Wireless is working on my laptop now, also. Although access to it is an intermittent problem which Verizon tried to solve with a new modem, which didn't change a thing. I keep wondering if someone in our area is running SOMETHING that interferes, b/c we aren't using the microwave concurrently. But when that happens, it happens to all laptops, roku, etc.
Perhaps I am mistaken, but I thought from tBLtS that you had a car that was not very old. Does it not have Bluetooth on its stereo?
