I'm currently troubleshooting a HP laptop (HP G62-a10SQ to be more specific). The problem is that it doesn't want to connect to any Wi-Fi network. It leaves me with the generic error "Can't connect to this network." I've tried these steps so far

  • Restarting the computer
  • Flushing DNS
  • Releasing and renewing the ipconfig
  • Uninstalling the driver
  • Reinstalling the driver
  • Reseating the Wi-FI module
  • Checking Windows Update for any drivers
  • Updating the driver in Device Manager
  • Temporarily removing my Wi-Fi encryption
  • Trying to connect to a different Wi-Fi network outside of my network
  • Probably more troubleshooting steps I can't remember atm (I will edit the post if I remember anything)

  • What happened when you tried to connect to another network?

    Are you sure the networks you're connecting to don't have a MAC address filter in place?

Okay, apparently I dumbed out and completely forgot that my network had a MAC filter (I probably didn't think about that because I had errors in the other network too, although I'm not sure why i got errors there). Thanks to @Daniel B for pointing that out for me. Thanks to @Codelt too for trying to help me :)
