Ok, so I cannot connect to my wi-fi. I can connect perfectly fine to the school internet, but not at home. Other people in the house can connect with no problems, it's just me. I connected an ethernet cable, and that's how I'm doing this now, and then I launched all the troubleshooters for anything to do with the network and all of them failed to find any issues. That's why I came here. Earlier today, I was able to connect twice, I just kept on trying to connect and after about 20 tries, it worked. I then restarted my laptop and it disconnected itself. So I did the same thing and it worked, but then when I restart it again today, it refuses to connect. The only information it gives me is "Can't connect to this network." I have the password correct, I even made my laptop "forget" the connection, then reconnected with the password. The same issue is happening, and I managed to connect so I don't need to use the password anymore.

Please, someone, help me!! I need the internet for school work, and I cannot sit here using the ethernet cable forever. I will greatly appreciate it if anyone bothers to answer this!

Thank You very much in advance!!

While this issue can be an agonizing process to fix, sometimes there is a very quick fix that works. Download the free application from HERE and change the MAC address of the wireless adapter. It won't hurt anything and can always be changed back, but for some almost magical reason it often fixes the issue that you have.

If it does not work, please post the model of your laptop and OS version.

Thanks for the help, but it didn't work. It just disconnected me then I had the exact same issue.
I have discovered that it's not just me anymore, others are having issues connecting, I can still connect by attempting 50 times, but it's still a continuous issue.
Thanks for trying to help though.
I'm not too good at the technical side of computers, but what I think you're asking for is this:
I'm using a Lenovo Thinkpad Laptop.
I don't know what you mean by OS version, sorry.
