When the Wi-Fi network password on your device is incorrect, the device won’t be able to connect to your network.
Device is out of range of Wi-Fi or coverage needs to be improved. If it works, figure out what’s wrong with your firewall settings.If your phone, computer, or other Wi-Fi device isn’t connected to your Google Nest Wifi or Google Wifi network, or often disconnects, here are a few things that could be affecting your connection: Turn off your firewall-temporarily, of course-and try again. Right-click the network icon in notification area and select Troubleshoot problems. Make sure you have the latest wireless network card drivers loaded (Windows update or Manufacturers driver support site). If you don’t, try moving to a room near the modem. Look at the bars next to the network’s name to make sure you have a strong signal from the modem. And an uppercase O can be mistaken for the number 0. It’s easy to mistake the number 1 with a lowercase L or an uppercase I. When typing the password, be careful about letters and numbers that look alike. Attempt to connect to the wireless network making sure you have the correct password found on the bottom of your modem. Click the WiFi icon in the notification area on your laptop for a list of available networks. That didn’t fix it, either? Okay, time to make sure you’re connecting to the correct wireless network and using the correct password. If you turned it off, try turning it back on.If that doesn’t fix the problem, try to reboot your device. Windows will tell you if you turned it off or on.
There’s probably a little hardware switch somewhere. Make sure that the laptop’s WiFi is turned on. Blackfoot modem default settings have the wireless security at the highest level, but can be adjusted to allow older devices to connect by changing the encryption to WPA/WPA2 PSK if needed. If it is an older laptop/device it may not support the latest wireless encryption (WPA2).
If that other device can access your WiFi, the problem is with your laptop. Try any device that uses WiFi such as a smartphone or tablet. The first thing you should try is testing the wireless network without the computer/laptop.
When your laptop (or other device) can’t access your home WiFi network, you have to find out if the problem is your device or your modem.
