WNR1000 v3 N150 Wireless Router not working for Windows 10
I recently upgraded my computer to Windows 10 and it no longer connects to my WNR100 v3 wireless router. The computer connects to other wireless networks without issue and the wired connection with the router continues to work as well, so it seems the issue is specific to my Windows 10 computer and the router. Any thoughts on how I can resolve this?
Thank you,
Eric
Good News, Everyone!
The issue is resolved. I did a hard reset of the router, the modem, and the computer. I'm not sure exactly which one made the difference, but in any event, the wireless works now. Thank you for all of your troubleshooting suggestions, I really appreciated the help

It is far more likely that the wireless device in the computer needs to have its driver updated than there being an issue with the router, which doesn’t really differentiate between operating systems of connected client devices.
Thanks for the idea Andy. I got on the phone with MSI, the maker of my laptop, and they walked me through un-installing and re-intalling the latest, Windows10 compatible wireless driver, to make sure the driver was up to date. Unfortunately I still can't connect to my WNR1000 v3 N150 router, though other wireless networks are connecting without issue. Is there any setting that might be preventing me from connecting to the WNR1000 v3 N150? Any other thoughts?
Thank you,
Eric
If you click on the Wi-Fi icon in the Windows Notification bar, do you see your network at all?
If you can see your Wi-Fi network, then you can try re-entering the password. Click on Network Settings, then Manage Wi-Fi Settings. Then scroll to the bottom. If you see your network, then click on it, then Forget. Then proceed to connect to the Wi-Fi network. Enter your password. Hopefully, it will work.
