Especially when it comes to chipset drivers for embedded devices that are built into the motherboard.

Can other devices see your wifi?
What is this work computer?
Yes, my personal laptops, phone and tablets but my work laptop (Dell) cannot see my router. I replaced my old router with a new one and when I try to see available wifi networks, my wifi router does not show up or appear. I do not know how to make it available for selection.
Thanks,

This tells that there is nothing wrong with your router. It is doing its job and sending out wifi.
The problem is on the receiving end.
Work laptops are sometimes locked down so that they cannot get into "unsafe" networks. (I have even seen "superglued USB ports on government PCs.) ) If it cannot even see the wifi from the router, maybe that's the problem.
Ask the people at work. They supplied the thing.
Have you tried plugging the laptop into the router? That would confirm that it is the wifi behind the problem.
