Okay so I have a problem connecting my Desktop to my Network. I admit I would be far less confused if it just didn't connect at all except there is a strange "ritual" I can do to make it connect.
It will not automatically connect to it when I log on (as it should according to how I set it up) and still wont connect if I manually hit "connect" in the wifi tab. However if I let the manual connect run its course and tell me "sorry cant connect" then if I click the sad little empty wifi tab it will then connect to "a" network named "MJL 2". This is odd because my network name is just "MJL" so im not sure why it has added the "2" at the end.
My router broadcasts two different networks I can connect my devices to (a 5G and a 2G).
Desktop- 2G (my adapter will not pick up the 5G network)
PS3- 2G
Iphone 6- 5G
Samsung Galaxy 2- 5G
Acer Chromebook- 5G
Lenovo Laptop- 5G
One time when I tried to connect it gave me an error message that "another computer with the same IP address is already connected to this network". However this is the only variant to the usual routine I explained above. Im not sure why this is happening so I hope you all have some ideas. Thanks for your help and consideration!
