My home wifi works for everyone else's device including my phone except for my laptop. I've previously been connected to it but all of a sudden it stopped showing up. I can see all of the available networks except mine. I've tried manually putting in the info and it still doesn't come up, only in the "manage known networks" in which my only option is to forget it. Even after I forget it it still doesn't pop up. Help please!

BTW I have a toshiba satellite p75-a7200 with windows 10

Sounds like your wifi card is disabled on your laptop.

Enable your WIFI card, Usually you have to hold the "FN" key on your keyboard, and then I believe it's F2 or F3 (should be a wifi symbol on one of those keys) Press one of those while holding the FN key. This should enable your WIFI card if it's disabled, then you should be able to see wifi connections near you.

If i misunderstood your post, I apologize.

I can see all other open wifi networks so except the one I actually need, so I don't think it would be that would it?

You're correct, no, that wouldn't be it.

Do you know if your Wireless network is setup in 2.4 GHZ or 5GHZ frequency?
Some devices don't see 5GHZ networks, while others can. This could be the issue.

I'm not sure, but I was able to connect to it previously but then I moved my router literally a few feet and since then I can't connect to it

Hi there, you may have accidentally pressed the WLAN button when moving the router and switched off your WIFI. If so the light on the front panel would have gone off. Try pushing it again to turn it on.
