Hello everyone!
This is a problem we've had at home for over a year now.
We currently have 2 stationary PC's and 2 Laptop PC's. The WiFi connection seems to work on stationary PC #1, however connection problems occur a few times a week. A router restart usually helps but not always. There is no problem connecting to the network from an Android phone.
On the other PC's a WiFi connection is nearly impossible to get. As mentioned in the title, I can find the network, but when I try to connect it simply says that it cant connect to this network. The signal strength has full bars so range is not a problem. Sometimes I'm able to connect and it says ''internet access'' but I still cant open anything in my browser.In some cases it's connected but it's ''limited''.
Here's what I've done to try fixing the problem:
- Restarting the router
- Updated drivers for the network adapter on all PC's
- Placed the router on different places in my home
- Resetting the whole network and created a new one
- Even went and purchased a new and better router
- I used inSSIDer to find which channel has the least interference and changed to that one.
The final solution was to go with wired connection. I prefer it and it always works, however it is not possible for the other people in the household to drag cables across the house.
The router is a Belkin N600DB Wireless Router and all of the computers has had Windows 7, 8 and currently 10 on two of them. Oh and the PC that doesn't seem to have trouble is running Windows Vista.
I hope my information is sufficient for you guys to help me, if not i'll gladly answer any questions.
