Question Laptop won’t connect to Wi-Fi after traveling ?

[Korodo]

Need help ASAP.

I have an HP Victus 16-d1xxx laptop running Windows 11 .

After traveling to europe my laptop won’t connect to the Wi-Fi, but it does connect to my hotspot. I tried dnsflush, uninstalled drivers and recent updates and other fixes but it still won’t connect even to Wi-fis.

On another system, download the drivers to a USB drive and then re-install them on your laptop.

See if that resolves the issue.

When you attempt connection, what does it say?

I downloaded the Wireless LAN drivers because I couldn’t see any drivers for the Wi-fi, but I still can’t connect to the Wi-Fi only to the hotspot.

Does moving from the Middle East(Laptop bought in ME) to Georgia(Europe) have caused this??

The wireless LAN drivers are the wi-fi adapter drivers. One and the same.

There can be wireless channel differences between countries, but there are common addresses across those local differences.

Can you system "see" networks and are just not able to connect to them?

Did you start by removing the connectoid (aka "Forget this connection") and trying to reconnect, before going all scorched Earth?

I would power cycle the modem/router first

I would power cycle the modem/router first and BTW, you might want to change the region settings in W11.

I can see the networks and it does try to connect to them but it can’t connect

Can’t forget it if I never conmected ever since I came into the country. Even public free Wi-Fi don’t work.

I forgot to mention that I DID download the driver but the standard procedure of “Update driver” in device manager isn’t working for me. So how do O install the driver now??

Open the downloaded file. It likely has its own installer.

I did do it but use its installer but it doesn’t show in device manager

So there has been an update, I managed to connect to the Wi-Fi by USB tethering. But it still won’t connect over Wi-Fi.

As far as installing drivers goes I don’t think I’ve done it right since I can’t see the new driver in device manager.

I ‘ve got a new error but its gone now idk why.
“No Internet Access
Your Device can only access other devices on your local network.”

Were you using a VPN before any of these issues started happening?

Also, it sounds like your drivers are fine, but that some setting is off. Did you manually set your DNS addresses, or have then automatically assigned when connecting to a network?

Go to the Intel site and download their driver investigator.
