Win11 "Can't connect to this network" error
I just switched over to fiber from ATT DSL (used their Pace modem/router). I bought a Nighthawk BE9300 to sue with our new service. I have connected three very new HP laptops, phones, tv's et...
I finally got it working! I don't know much about network stuff, so I can't explain this very well. But what I ended up having to do is using netsh in a command window to assign "permission" to my SSID. That did it! I have no idea why I had to do that though. I'm just lucky that I remembered that issue from last time I had an issue.
I even took the internal card out thinkin it might be causing an issue!
Anyway, I bought a USB Wi-Fi stick (BrosTrend 6500). It is working well. I am getting speeds of around 61Mbps in my shop in the backyard. That's a whole lot better than my old setup.
Thanks again.
I tried the WPS button
How cool. I have never seen a laptop with a WPS button.
My Windows computers have a Network Troubleshooter feature. What does that report about the WiFi adapter connection?
This Realtek adapter is a WiFi5 device. As long as the security is not set to WPA3 (which WiFi5 does not support), this adapter should be able to connect to the 2.4G and 5G WiFi channels of the RS300 router. It cannot connect to the 6G WiFi channel because it does not support 6G.
Ha! No button on the laptop. But when I try to connect to the network, there is an option to push the button on the router. I tried that, but windows said it couldn't get all the information and to enter the password instead.
