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.
That realtek adapter was known for issues connecting to AX (wifi 6) networks. I can't imagine going to BE (wifi 7) improved that any. You might try updating to a different wifi card in the laptop or even just getting a usb dongle that works with AX or BE
Thanks. I did look at the options. I saw a card on Amazon for $26 that might work. I may try that.
