Hi! So I recently came home from a brief trip and tried to use the Internet on my laptop. It isn't picking up my home network, but can pick up other connections. My other devices are working with the Wifi just fine. Have tried turning off/on both router and laptop, as well as adjusting settings via routerlogin.net. it is important to note that the laptop has connected to the Wifi successfully in th past (as in just over 24 hours ago).

What other information can I provide that would be helpful to you?

Your laptop may simply be still configured to connect to other wireless networks you encountered and used on your trip.

It can see other wireless networks but is not configured to connect to them.

Go into the laptop's wireless adapter settings and reconfigure to match (SSID, password, etc.) your home network.

Failing that, reinstall the wireless drivers and configure to your home network.
