PC with Wifi Adapter will not connect to a particular network
Hello,
I have a desktop PC running Windows 10 Home with a new USB Wi-Fi adapter. This adapter can see all the surrounding Wi-Fi networks and hotspots and can connect to all of them except one. The one it refuses to connect to is the one I need it to connect to.
It shows a good reception signal (dot and 2/3 bars) to the Wi-Fi Router but after selecting this network and entering the passcode, it comes up with a message 'Can't connect to this network'. The Wi-Fi passcode is definitely entered correctly.
Done the usual things like rebooting Router and PC, letting Windows run a network fault diagnosis. I am able to ping the Router IP address from this PC.
So I know the Router is working and connected to the internet and we know the USB Wi-Fi Adapter is working as it can connect through hotspots and it can see all the local Wi-Fi connections including the one it refuses to connect to. So I am presuming this is a local PC issue.
Prior to this the only thing that happened was a USB printer was connected to a different USB port. That printer / driver has since been removed but the problem remains. That may just be a coincidence though. This is a work PC so it is running Eset AV. I have not tried disabling that.
Any ideas appreciated. Tx!
