Why netgear stopped showing my preferred network?

This is really bizarre. I used to use Netgear 64-5G, but after resetting my laptop, all of other networks are showing but the one mentioned above. The mystery here is that my TV is still using the network above?!

    How do I fix DNS errors that occur across all devices in my WiFi network?

    I did all of these but still

     

     

    clear cache in browsers, reset IP addresses, reset proxy, flush DNS, reset router, disabled anti-virus,

    Tried to change TCP/IP address to 8.8.8.8 but kept getting " "the dns server is not a valid ip address" error"

  • I want their support on why Im not seeing my preferred network and why Im getting DNS messages
