Wifi Network Name missing from Wifi list on Laptop

I have a CAX80 Cable Modem Router. For some reason, the Wifi name disappeared from my laptop list of Wifi networks. I am able to see it on my other tablets and phones. Did not change any settings. How can I get the network back on the Wifi list?
  • If it had been working then all of a sudden doesn't, however your other devices are working, this would be a laptop issue. Something to ask them about and also check the wifi adapter drivers for updates from that mfr. 

     

    Good Luck.

      Thank you for the tip. I am just confused as to why it stopped working. It was fine for the last two months up until last week when the Wi-Fi network disappeared from my laptop Wi-Fi list. The sad part is that Netgear only offers two months of support and then you have to pay to get any help. Terrible. Ways of making money. This is the CAX80 Nighthawk modem.
