Not knowing what that is, it is anybody's guess.
Thank for your reply. Yeah im not sure what to think, every device in my home can connect to the new router except for the A7000 adapter and my work laptop. The new router is the g3100 from Verizon (WiFi 6) it is supposed to be backwards compatible and is on all other devices with the exception of my A7000 and work laptop.
What does Windows network troubleshooter say?
- I ran it last night but had to revert back to my older router today for work. I cant remember exactly what it said except that its recommendations were steps i had already taken such as resetting the router. One step i didnt take due to distance was a wired connection between PC and router.
An off the wall one, maybe you need to tell Windows that you are on a "private network".
- Network and Internet settings
- Network Status
- Change Connection Properties
- Network Profile
- Private
I am told that I am talking rubbish when I suggest that, but it has worked for some of us. Nothing lost if I am wrong.
