Windows Unable to Connect to Wi-Fi Network

Performance & Connectivity Problems
Windows Taking Too Long to Start
Blue or Black Screen Error
Windows Running Slowly
Unable to Connect to Bluetooth
Unable to Connect to Wireless Network
Problem Description:
Windows sometimes is unable to connect to your home or work wireless Wi-Fi network. This is often a hard problem to fix since there are so many different reasons for this network connectivity issue. The problem may be with your wireless router or ISP or the network interface card on your Windows computer or simply a network login credentials issue.
Affected Products:
Windows XP, Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8 and all other versions of Windows.
Cause of the Problem:
  • Windows device is out of range of the wireless router.
  • Windows system clock is not setup properly.
  • Wireless network device driver corrupted.
Instructions for Connecting to Wi-Fi Network in Windows :
Step 1 : Windows computer is out of range of Wi-Fi router
  1. If you are trying to connect to the Wi-Fi network from a room that is far away from the wireless router it is possible that this is the cause of the problem.
  2. Move to location that is closest to the router and see if the Wi-Fi network connectivity problem is solved. If it is, then the problem is the signal strength of the router. If not, then go to Step 2.
  3. If the problem is with the signal strength of the router try orienting the Wi-Fi router’s transponder differently or consider upgrading the transponder or purchasing a more powerful Wi-Fi router.
Step 2 : Ensure that Windows System Clock is Set Properly
  1. Windows system clock may also at time interfere with your Wi-Fi network connection. This can happen if the year and the date has been set completely erroneously (say a year 5 years in future).
  2. Tap or click Change PC settings, tap or click Time and language, and then tap or click Date and time.
  3. Make sure the info is correct, or make changes as necessary. If you still can’t connect, Go to Step 3.
Step 3 : Update Windows Wi-Fi or Wireless Driver
  1. If the driver for the wireless card inside your Windows Computer is either corrupted or not installed, this will cause connectivity problems.
  2. For Windows, you can update the driver using Windows Update, or you can install a driver manually if necessary.
  3. Open Windows Update by clicking the Start button. In the search box, type Update, and then, in the list of results, click Windows Update.
  4. In the left pane, click Check for updates. If there are any available updates, click the links to see more information about each update. Windows Update tells you if an update is important, recommended, or optional. Each type of update might include drivers.
  5. On the Select the updates you want to install page, look for updates for your hardware devices, select the check box for each driver that you want to install, and then click OK. There might not be any available driver updates.
If above steps did not help fix your problem, you need assistance from a certified technician. Please call GuruAid at 1 855 259 7091.
