In this article we will look at a situation that many users face. You click on the wireless networks icon in the lower right corner of the desktop, select the desired network from the list, click Connect, but instead of accessing the Internet, an error appears: “Windows could not connect to...”.
There may be several reasons why this window may appear. We will look at some of them in this article, and we will figure out why Wi-Fi may not connect to a laptop.
Network diagnostics
Let's start with the settings in the operating system.
We will perform network diagnostics. Click on the icon wireless network in the tray, select the one you need and click “Connect”. Enter the password if it is protected.
When an error window appears, click on the button in it "Troubleshooting". Windows will search for problems and offer solutions. Just follow the recommendations. In some cases, this helps, and the laptop successfully connects to Wi-Fi.
New network connection
If the laptop still does not connect to Wi-Fi, then we will delete the network we want to connect to and connect again. This may help if you or someone else has recently changed their network password. The laptop has other settings saved that do not match the current ones, which is why it does not connect to Wi-Fi.
Click right click mouse over the network icon and select "Network Control Center and shared access» .
In the list, select the network to which the laptop cannot connect, right-click on it and select “Delete network”.
After this, click on the network icon in the tray again and connect to the desired network Wi-Fi. You may need to find out and enter your current password. After this, Internet access should appear.
Changing router settings
Let's move on to the router settings. They could have gone astray for some reason, or someone replaced them. Since you do not have access to the network on your laptop, open your favorite browser on a computer that is connected to the same router using a cable and enter address bar IP address: 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1.
Data cleaning
route -f
ipconfig /flushdns
netsh int ip reset
netsh int ipv4 reset
netsh int tcp reset
netsh winsock reset
After each, press "Enter". This will help clear data in DNS and Winsock, reset routes and network adapter parameters.
That's all. I hope at least one of the described methods helped you. And now you will know what to do if the laptop sees the Wi-Fi network, but cannot connect to it, as a result of which an error window appears.

Hello, dear friends. As you probably already understood from the title, today I decided to touch upon a very serious and painful topic, and try to figure out what to do when Wi-Fi on a laptop or netbook does not work and how to still connect the laptop to Wi-Fi router. By the way, this can be not only a laptop or netbook, it can also be an ordinary desktop computer with a Wi-Fi receiver. Similar questions in Lately appears a lot, mainly to the article.
Now we will try to figure out step by step what and why problems may arise when connecting a laptop to a wireless Wi-Fi networks. We will also try to find a solution to this very popular and unpleasant problem with connecting to Wi-Fi, or rather, an unsuccessful connection.
Most often, problems arise when it is not possible to turn on the Wi-Fi module itself on the laptop. And when Wi-Fi turns on, the laptop finds all available networks, but when trying to connect it writes . You need to check if the drivers are installed on Wi-Fi adapter, is Wi-Fi turned on on the laptop, etc. Now we will do this.
I noticed that most often problems with connecting to Wi-Fi occur in Windows 7. It is on this OS that the network without Internet access error very often appears; I wrote how to solve this problem in the article linked above. In fact, as practice shows, there can be many reasons for this problem. And if there are many reasons, then there are many ways in which you can force a laptop to connect to a Wi-Fi router.
But it’s not always the laptop, netbook, etc. that is to blame. There may also be a problem with the access point, that is, with the Wi-Fi router. And the first thing we need to do when a problem arises with connecting to Wi-Fi is to determine what the reason is, in the laptop, or in the Wi-Fi router. Now I will consider the problem with connecting to my own router. Because if you can’t establish a connection with someone else’s Wi-Fi, then all the complaints are against your neighbor, it’s most likely his problem :).
Who is to blame, the laptop or the Wi-Fi router?
As I wrote above, you first need to find the culprit. Before you make any settings on your laptop or Wi-Fi router, you need to understand what the problem is, which is why you can’t connect your laptop to Wi-Fi. You can just set it up in such a way that then you have to do it and set everything up again. Most The best way To determine which device the problem is hiding in, try connecting another device to the router, for example another laptop, tablet, or phone. If you have a laptop that has problems connecting to Wi-Fi, you should try connecting it to a different wireless network.
I think that you understood my point. If there are other devices connected to your router (best with a similar operating system) will connect without problems, then the problem is in the laptop. Read this article further, now let’s try to solve it.
Well, if problems connecting to your network also occur on other devices, and the “problematic” laptop connects to other networks without problems, then the problem is in setting up the Wi-Fi router. See the article on, it might come in handy.
I will show the example of a laptop that runs on Windows 7. This is currently the most popular operating system.
I advise you to immediately pay attention to the icon that displays the status of your Internet connection. It's located in the notification panel.
If the Internet connection status looks like this:
First you need to check whether the drivers for Wi-Fi are installed and whether the Wi-Fi adapter is turned on.
Right click on "My computer" and select “Properties”. On the left select "Device Manager".
Open a tab in a new window "Network adapters" and see if there is a device like Wireless Network Adapter (You may have a different name for it). If you have such a device, then right-click on it and select “Properties”. Another window will open, make sure it says “The device is working normally.”
If everything is approximately the same as mine above in the screenshot, then everything is fine, the driver is installed. And if there is no Wireless Network Adapter device and you have unidentified devices, go to the website of your laptop manufacturer, download and install the Wireless Network Adapter driver for your model.
Learn more about installing and updating the driver for wireless adapter – .
We sorted out the drivers.
Checking whether Wi-Fi is turned on on the laptop
If the driver is installed, but Wi-Fi module is disabled, the connection status will be the same:
Usually the wireless adapter on your laptop is turned on, but it doesn't hurt to check. Wi-Fi on laptops (netbooks) is usually turned on and off using a keyboard shortcut. On my ASUS K56cm, these are the keys FN+F2. But although when I press these keys I get a message that the wireless adapters are enabled/disabled, nothing happens. Look for the key on your laptop FN and a key with a picture of a wireless network. Press them at the same time.
Some laptops may have a special switch on the case that can be used to enable or disable Wi-Fi. For example on Toshiba Satellite L300 it looks like this:
Enable or disable the Wi-Fi wireless adapter in Windows 7
But the best way to check whether the wireless network adapter is working or not is to go to the network control center and take a look.
So, on the notification panel, right-click on the Internet connection status icon and select “Network and Sharing Center”.
Then select on the left.
Among the connections we are looking for “Wireless network connection”. If everything is fine and the Wi-Fi adapter is turned on, then it should look like this:
If the adapter is disabled, it will look like the screenshot below. Right-click on it and select “Enable”.
Using the methods described above, we must make sure that the status of the Internet connection in the notification panel is like this:
This status means “No connection – There are connections available”- this means that the Wi-Fi adapter is turned on and there are available wireless networks to connect to.
If the connection status is like this:
This means that Wi-Fi is turned on, but the laptop simply does not see the networks available for connection.
Error “Windows could not connect to...”
We have sorted out the problem when the wireless network module is disabled or does not work at all. Now consider the case when the laptop finds available Wi-Fi networks, but when trying to connect to Wi-Fi it writes: “Windows was unable to connect to...”, where instead of dots is the name of the network you want to connect to.
If your network connection status is the same as in the screenshot above (via one, network with yellow icon), then click on it and you will see a list of networks available for connection.
Select the desired network, click on it, then click the “Connect” button.
If the set is password protected, Windows will ask you to provide the password. Enter your network password and click “Ok”.
And if everything is fine, then your laptop should connect to the Internet via a wireless connection. And the Internet connection status should look like this:
But it is at the moment of connection that the error “Windows could not connect to...” very often appears. She looks like this:
Unfortunately, friends, no. definite decision this problem. But I can download that very often the problem with such an error appears due to Wi-Fi settings router. It may be through the type of security and encryption that is installed on the Wi-Fi router, read more about this in the article. There may also be a problem with the distribution of IP addresses.
If you notice that in the window with the error “Windows was unable to connect to...” you can run “Troubleshooting”, it would be a sin not to take advantage. Try running it, I heard somewhere that there are cases in which it helps :). But seriously, sometimes it really helps. Windows will check the readiness of the wireless adapter, check the settings, etc. And if it can, it will fix the problem that is preventing you from connecting to Wi-Fi.
Just reboot your router and then your laptop. Very often this helps.
Update
I noticed that in Windows this error appears when the settings that are saved on the computer for your network do not match the current network settings. I'll explain now.
For example, your laptop was connected to Wi-Fi, it automatically connected to the network. But you went and changed the password, or the type of network encryption. Now the laptop is trying to connect to the network, but the parameters no longer match, and that’s the error.
It is enough to simply delete the network on your computer and re-establish the connection. I wrote about this in an article
Conclusion
It’s a great article, and I hope it’s useful. I wrote it for half a day, with interruptions of course, there were still problems with adding screenshots to the site, but I seemed to have solved it.
I tried to collect everything necessary information, which should help you solve the problem that occurs when connecting a laptop or netbook to Wi-Fi. If I forgot to write something, I will definitely add to the article in the future, and I will also be very grateful if you share in the comments the information that helped you solve the problem with connecting to a wireless network.
If you have any questions, ask them in the comments, we will try to figure it out. Best wishes!

Why doesn't Wi-Fi work on a laptop (netbook)? How to connect a laptop to a Wi-Fi router? Error “Windows could not connect to...” updated: February 7, 2018 by: admin
WiFi network is a brilliant achievement in the field network resources and represents wireless connection to the Internet. Thanks to this connection method, people were able to use the Internet for free in all places that distribute WiFi. Millions of people have already experienced the benefits of this connection.
Convenient wireless network for everyone, its advantages
Firstly, connecting to a wireless network is possible in almost all rooms, this is especially beneficial for those areas where it is impossible to connect using the common wired method.
Secondly, wireless Internet makes life much easier active users world wide web. Not being tied to a computer desk and the ability to connect multiple devices at the same time played a role. Thirdly, all existing operating systems support WiFi (Windows 8, 7, XP; Vista, Mac and Android). Accordingly, you can access the network not only from a computer and laptop, but also from smartphones and tablets, most of which have a built-in module for connecting to a wireless network. Among the advantages of the network, we can also highlight the maximum speed, it reaches 300 Mbit/s. The wireless is heard WiFi network via a router connected to the provider's network via a wire. Let's look at the question of how to connect WiFi and what you will need.
Internet availability from an Internet service provider
Despite all the advantages of this network, there are still disadvantages that users of operating systems face. Windows systems 8, Windows 7 and Windows XP. WiFi given fact brings a lot of inconvenience to wireless network users. One of the reasons for the lack of network may be due to cable problems. There may also be a server failure. Therefore, before searching for a missing WiFi connection, you should check the availability of the Internet from your Internet service provider. Notify your ISP about the problem and have company administrators check for line breaks or other problems. However, if everything is fine with the Internet, but Windows was unable to connect to WiFi, then you need to check the router settings.
The device does not see available connections
Check that all the lights on the router are on and that the computer is connected to the wireless network. If your computer doesn't show the network, try restarting it.
If Windows is unable to connect to WiFi on your laptop, check the operation of the wireless adapter. If the adapter does not connect, you need to reinstall the corresponding driver network Windows 7 and Windows 8 support the network driver update feature. However, to do this, you need to find this driver on your computer.
How to find and update the network driver on your computer?
If you don't know which network driver installed on your computer, you will need to go to the “Computer Management” section, to do this, right-click on the “My Computer” icon, select “Management” from the list provided. A list of possible functions will appear on the left side of the screen.
You need to select “Device Manager” → “Network Adapters”. You will be presented with a list of network drivers. Right-click on them and select → “Update drivers”. If there are no changes during the update, try downloading another network driver suitable for your operating system and reinstall it. Remember that download any software necessary only from trusted or official sites.
Safe storage
For one reason or another, drivers may fail at some point. It is for this reason that it is recommended to store all the programs needed for your computer on a separate removable media. “Any program can be downloaded from the World Wide Web,” you say. But what if the software that is used to connect to the Internet fails? In such a situation, a disk or flash drive with drivers will help you out.
The problem is caused by a serious system failure
When you finish reinstalling the driver, the connection should appear in the toolbar. If this does not happen, try rebooting the router and the device itself on which you are trying to connect to the wireless network. After this, when correct settings everything should work. Otherwise, you need to figure out what the problem is. You need to try connecting to the network from another device, if it catches the network, then the problem is in your operating system. Since reinstalling the driver does not display WiFi, Windows will most likely have to be reinstalled as well. Well, this is the saddest version of events. Everything could be much simpler. However, if no device sees your available network, the problem lies in the router itself, in its settings.
The system shows a connection error
If your device displays available networks, but when you try to connect, the connection does not occur or the system notifies you of an error, then the cause may be an incorrectly selected mode in the router settings. For normal operation of the network, it is necessary that the mode be mixed B/G/N. You can check or change it in the router settings. To do this, in the router interface, in the Wireless section, you need to select the mode that interests us.
Access area
One more possible reason absence wireless connection may be coverage area WiFi signal. Dot Windows access It may simply not get the signal to your computer. To make sure this is the case, look at the wireless network icon. It is located in the lower right corner of the screen in the toolbar. If not all bars of this indicator are displayed, try moving the router closer to the computer and try to access the Internet again.
Automatic connection
Check that the key is correct, you may be typing characters with the Caps Lock key enabled. If you entered the wrong WiFi key, Windows 7 will try to connect again via certain time. This process will last until you again select yours from the list of available networks and enter the correct password.
Get rid of unnecessary things
In the practice of wireless connections, there is a moment when, it would seem, a person has entered the network access key correctly, but the system still displays a message that Windows was unable to connect to WiFi. The fact is that the system remembers any changes in the router settings and tries to apply them when starting a new connection. In this case, try removing previously used networks on your computer, tablet or laptop.
To do this, you need to take some steps. By clicking on the wireless connection icon, you need to select the “Network and Sharing Center” section. Next, click “Manage wireless networks.” All unclaimed connections must be removed from the list. After completing this procedure, try connecting to WiFi again. If this method did not help, and it still does not happen WiFi distribution? Windows means it can't find your IP address. In this case, it is necessary to change the specified wireless connection settings.
Prerequisite for wireless network
Windows could not connect to WiFi (or there is no Internet access) - these are perhaps the most common wireless network problems. To find out the reason, you need to go to the properties of the network you are trying to connect.
To do this, just left-click on the network adapter icon and in the list that appears available connections right click on your network. Next, select the network and the “Status” category. If the “IPv4 connections” column says “Without network access” or “Without Internet access,” you should check the correctness of the addresses involved in the connection. To do this, in the same window, click on the “Properties” button. Select → “Protocol.. according to version 4” → “Properties”. It is necessary to confirm the receipt of the IP address and the requested server automatically.
If you have already entered data into manual mode, before switching to automatically receiving an address, remember the existing ones, perhaps they will be useful to you. Keep in mind that if the DNS server is incorrectly specified, there may be a problem with opening pages on the Internet, and Skype programs and ICQ can work normally.
Distributing WiFi from a laptop. Windows
In order to distribute a wireless network directly from your laptop, you need to download and install special program WiFi connection version v2.4.1, which will allow you to do this. This program suitable for everyone Windows versions. How to connect WiFi using it?
So, first, launch the program, after which you need to go to the settings and create a network name (preferably in Latin letters) and password. For security purposes, the password must have at least eight characters. After filling in all fields, confirmation is required by clicking the OK button. Next step: you need to go to and in properties existing network, in the “Access” section, check the box next to the “Allow other users to use the network” command. Select your created network from the list provided and click OK. It is also necessary to enable network discovery in all available tabs in the “Change advanced settings” section in network connections.
As an option to resolve the problem of lack of WiFi, you can reconfigure the router.
All access points without exception have a reset button - press it and hold it for a few seconds. After this procedure, the router will return to factory settings. Next, you will need to enter the router address (192.168.0.1) in the search bar of your browser, and then go to the device interface. The program will immediately prompt you to change your login password - do this and log into the router interface using your password. Next, select the “Connect Internet” → “Add new” function. The Internet Setup Wizard will prompt you to select a connection type. After which the program will ask you to enter your username and password to connect to the Internet. This information is provided by your ISP. After filling out all the data, you must save the information. After which it is advisable to reboot operating system your computer.
If none of the above solutions to the problem helped you, use the following advice. Unplug the router for a while. After 8-10 minutes, turn it on again; this procedure very often has a positive effect.
If your desktop computer or laptop is connected to the Internet, then an unpleasant moment may come when you lose access to the network, and the network connections icon in the notification area will be crossed out with a red cross. When you hover your cursor over it, a message will appear explaining everything. "No connections available". This happens especially often when using a Wi-Fi adapter. Let's find out how to solve a similar problem if you are using a PC with Windows 7.
There are quite a few reasons that can cause the problem we are studying:
- Real lack of available networks;
- Damage to the Wi-Fi adapter, router or modem;
- PC hardware failure (for example, failure network card);
- Software glitch;
- Lack of current drivers;
- Damage to the operating system;
- Virus.
We will not talk in detail about such a banal reason as the real lack of accessible networks. This can only be “cured” by returning to the Internet accessibility zone or changing the connection method to one that is valid in the given area. There is also no point in talking too much about hardware faults. They can be eliminated either by a hardware repairman or by replacing a failed part or equipment (Wi-Fi adapter, network card, router, modem, etc.). But we’ll talk in detail about the other reasons and ways to eliminate them.
Method 1: Standard diagnostics
First of all, if you experience the error discussed in this article, follow these simple steps:
- Unplug the Wi-Fi adapter from the computer connector and then connect it again;
- Reboot the router (it is better to do this by completely disconnecting it from the power supply, that is, you need to remove the plug from the socket);
- Make sure you have your Wi-Fi hardware switch turned on if you are using a laptop. It turns on different models laptops different ways: either using a special switch on the case, or using a specific key combination (for example, Fn+F2).
If none of the above helped, then it makes sense to carry out a standard diagnostic procedure.
Unfortunately, this method helps in a fairly limited number of cases. Therefore, if you are unable to resolve the problem when using it, then proceed to the following methods, which are described below.
Method 2: Enable Network Connection
It is likely that the cause of the error may be a disconnected connection in the network connections section "Control Panels". Then you need to activate the corresponding object.
- Click "Start" and open "Control Panel".
- Go to section "Network and Internet".
- Go to "Network Control Center...".
- In the left part of the window that appears, click on the inscription "Change adapter settings".
- The window that appears shows all configured for this computer network connections. Find an item that is relevant to you and look at its status. If set to "Disabled", then you need to activate the connection. Right-click on the object ( RMB) and select "Turn on".
- After activating the connection, the problem described in this article will most likely be resolved.
Method 3: Removing the adapter from Device Manager
If you connect to the Internet via a Wi-Fi adapter, then one of the ways to solve the problem is to disable it in "Device Manager", and then reactivation.
- Go to "Control Panel" by the method that was considered in the description Method 2, and then open the section "System and safety".
- Click on the one posted in the group "System" element "Device Manager".
- Will start "Device Manager". In the list of equipment types that opens, click on "Network adapters".
- In the drop-down list, find the name of the equipment that you use to connect to the Internet. Click on it RMB. Carefully examine the context menu that appears. If it contains a clause "Engage", click on it. This will be enough and all further actions described in this method, you won't need to perform. The device was simply turned off, and now you have turned it on.
If the specified item is not present, then this means that the device is likely to malfunction. Therefore, it needs to be temporarily deactivated and then turned on. Click on context menu "Delete".
- A dialog box will open warning you that the device will now be removed from the system. Confirm your actions by clicking "OK".
- The procedure for deleting the selected device will be performed.
- After that in horizontal menu click "Action", and then from the list that opens, click "Update configuration...".
- A search will be made for devices connected using the technology "Plug and Play". The network adapter will be reconnected, and its drivers will be reinstalled.
- Next, restart your PC. Perhaps after this the connection availability error will disappear.
Method 4: Reinstalling drivers
One of the reasons for the error we are studying is that incorrect or outdated network adapter drivers are installed in the system. Most often it occurs when connecting the device for the first time or after reinstalling the OS. Then the drivers should be replaced with a current analogue. It is advisable to use exactly those copies that were supplied on a CD or other media along with the device itself. If you do not have such media, you can download the required object from the official website of the adapter manufacturer. Using similar software from other sources does not guarantee a solution to the problem.
- Go to "Device Manager", using the same algorithm of actions as in the previous method. Open the section again "Network adapters" and click RMB by name desired device. In the list that appears, select "Update drivers...".
- Next, the shell for selecting the update method is activated. Select an option “Search for drivers...”.
- In the window that opens, you must specify the media and directory where the drivers will be installed. To do this, click "Review…".
- The shell opens "Browse folders". Here you need to indicate the folder or media (for example, CD/DVD) where the drivers supplied with the device or pre-downloaded from the official website are located. After selecting a directory, click "OK".
- After the directory address is displayed in the driver search window, you can proceed to install them by clicking the button "Further", but before doing this, make sure that opposite the parameter "Including subfolders" the checkbox has been checked.
- The necessary drivers will be installed, and the problem with the lack of Internet connection will probably disappear.
But what to do if for some reason you do not have the driver media that came with the device, and the company’s official website does not work? In this case there is additional features install necessary drivers, although they are recommended to be used only in the most extreme cases, since they do not 100% guarantee interoperability between the OS and the adapter. You can use the following options:
If your Internet does not start at all, then you will have to search and download from another device.
Method 5: Enable the service
If you use Wi-Fi to connect to the Internet, the problem we are investigating may occur due to a service outage "WLAN Auto Configuration". Then it needs to be activated.
- Go to the section "Control Panels" entitled "System and safety". This is discussed in the description Method 3. Click on the title "Administration".
- In the list of system tools that opens, select "Services".
"Service Manager" can be activated in another way. To do this, dial Win+R and enter in the displayed area:
Then apply button click "OK".
- "Service Manager" will be open. To quickly find an element "WLAN AutoConfig Service", arrange all services in alphabetical order by clicking on the column title "Name".
- Find the name of the desired service. If the status is not set opposite its name "Works", then in this case it is necessary to activate. Double-click on her name with the left mouse button.
- The service properties window opens. If in the field "Startup type" set value "Disabled", then in this case click on it.
- A drop-down list will open where you need to select "Automatically". Then click "Apply" And "OK".
- After returning to the main interface "Service Manager" select the name "WLAN AutoConfig Service", and on the left side of the shell click "Run".
- The service will be activated.
- After this, the status will be displayed opposite its name "Works" and the problem with lack of connections will be solved.
Method 6: Checking system files
If none of the above methods help, then there is a possibility that the integrity of the system files has been compromised. In this case, it is necessary to perform an appropriate check and then restore if problems are found.
- Click "Start" and select "All programs".
- Open the folder "Standard".
- Find the element with the name "Command line". Click on it RMB. From the list of action options that appears, choose to run as administrator.
- Opens "Command line". Type into its interface:
Then click Enter.
- The procedure for scanning the integrity of system elements will be launched. Information about the dynamics of its passage will be displayed right there in the window. "Command line" in percentage terms. While this process is running, you should not close the current window, but you can minimize it. If violations in the structure are detected, a procedure for restoring missing or damaged files will be automatically performed.
- If, after completing the scanning procedure, a message appears informing you that recovery is impossible, repeat the entire process again, but this time you will need to.
Method 7: Eliminate viruses
The cause of the problem of lack of available networks may be a virus infection of the computer. Some malware Internet access is specially disabled so that the user cannot use external assistance to remove them, while others simply arbitrarily “kill” or modify system files, which ultimately leads to the same result.
To remove malicious code, there is no point in using a standard antivirus, since it has already missed the threat, which means it will not react to the virus, and may also be infected by this time. Therefore, we recommend using specialized anti-virus utilities that do not require installation. One of best programs of this class is . It is best to check from another device or when starting from LiveCD/USB. This is the only way to ensure the maximum likelihood of detecting a threat.
If the antivirus utility detects malicious code, then in this case follow the tips that will be displayed in its interface. There is a possibility that the virus has already damaged system files. Then, after eliminating it, it is necessary to carry out the appropriate check discussed in the description Method 6.
As you can see, the source of the problem with the availability of connections, and therefore with the performance of the Internet, can be a lot of different factors. They can be both external (real lack of network) and internal (various failures), caused by both the software and hardware components of the system. Of course, before fixing a problem, it is recommended to establish its exact root cause, but, unfortunately, this is not always possible. In this case, simply use the methods described in this article, checking each time whether the malfunction is eliminated or not.
