HP Laptop Won’t Connect To Home Wi-Fi

by nin6man . Updated 1 year, 1 month ago

Hello, thank you for your time, in advanced.

I have an HP laptop, model 15-ay039wm, I am having issues with it not finding my home Wi-Fi. I can find and connect to my phone’s hotspot no problem, however, it will not see or connect to home Wi-Fi or local library’s Wi-Fi. Any help is appreciated.

Things that I’ve tried:
Issue started after I performed a fresh install of Windows 7 Ultimate on this machine, it was running Windows 11 and was being crippled by the bloatware on it. After install, it wouldn’t see ANY Wi-Fi networks AT ALL, updated network drivers and was able to see my hotspot, but not my home Wi-Fi (current state).

Machine Hardware:
CPU: Intel (R) Core(TM) i3-6100U CPU @ 2.3GHz
Installed Memory (RAM): 8GB
System Type: 64-bit OS
OS running: Windows 7 Ultimate
Network Card: Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 316

Thank you!
