Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga 11S does not show Netgear Orbi wifi. Any help?
Since switching to our new Netgear Orbi device, my laptop does not recognize/show wifi while all other devices are working fine. Though, I can use my laptop at other places but not at home.
After loading the driver and checking for it on my laptop, I get this message: "The best drive software for your device is already installed." I just might have an old laptop and an advanced network connection at home!
Can you temporarily enable the Guest WiFi on this Orbi and see if the laptop recognizes it?
Is the driver that was downloaded definitely more recent than the existing driver? If there is a known way to restore the original driver, I might ignore that message and load the newer driver anyway.
I have an old Acer Aspire One that has only 802.11b/g/n, so I bought a USB WiFi dongle to get 5G WiFi for it.
