Laptop not able to detect WiFi

[JayantS]

Hey, i have a HP pavilion 15-e016tx
The issue with it is that it cannot detect my WiFi, even though it detects others in the vicinity.
i have tried loads of options too.
the wireless switch is on
ssid is broadcasting - infact if i change the ssid a little bit, even a single character the laptop identifies the network but if i restart the router, back to square one.

Installed the latest ralink driver.
Tried restarting the modem but it just doesn't identify the network .

Please help me out.

Thanks for your solution.


For the benefit of others, Please follow the steps to resolve the issue.

1) Login to the network(Get connected to the network) using another laptop/ desktop which has windows 7 / linux / OS X
2) Once connected open a browser and in the address bar type 192.168.1.1 and press enter
3) this takes you to the modem / router configuration page asking for a user ID and password
4) Usually or by default the user ID is admin and password is admin / password

Login to the router configuration
1) Click on Interface setup tab / link based on your router
2) Against the Channel setup - choose '02' instead of 'auto' from the dropdown.
3) Save the configuration change.

Now check your wifi - you should be able to see your wifi.

This solved my BSNL DLink router issue aswell.

SOLVED!!!!! Yes ... It's the problem with the channel. I got an MTNL wi-fi connection yesterday and I had been facing the same problem. So I logged into the modem configuration mode and then clicked on the INTERFACE SETUP tab and then on the wireless tab under that. In there I changed the channel from AUTO to 02 from the drop down list and VIOLA IT WORKED!!!! tried switching off the modem and turned it ON again and the computer connected automatically!!!! Guys try THIS.... Who knows it might just work....
....

Whosoever gave the above solution, God bless him/her! MTNL router channel change from Auto to '2' solved my problem of last 14 months. Thank you so much and Tomshardware for keeping this thread alive even after so much time. Jayant
