Can’t find my Wi-Fi network, but sees others?

I went to use my laptop today but I noticed it shows all my neighbors Wi-Fi but not mine. It was working fine earlier today but now it doesn’t show it. When I boot into Linux it sees it but not Windows. My Wi-Fi is Eero Router.

How can I fix this without reinstalling Windows?

Answer this question I have this problem too

I believed is the Wifi 6 ax mode in your router causing older drivers not to show up, which I had experienced it before.

is your wifi model intel 7265?

Some possible fix,

1. update router firmware to latest

3. Download latest wifi drivers from Dell website and install.

3. alternative drop the wifi mode on your router to wifi 5 mode

if it was working fine earlier today, then unless something updated or tried, it is a hardware problem. I have a router that doesn't transmit on one of the configurations. Fortunately, it has 3 Guest configurations and I switched it to another.

Hi @stechkid

Try just uninstalling the Wi-Fi driver in the Device Manger (devmgmt.msc) and let Windows reinstall it. This often fixes little problems.
