Hi all, I have an issue with my new wireless network that I just can't seem to solve. On my laptop, I can see every other available network near me except for the one I am trying to connect to.

My computer is a Lenovo Yoga 13
Operating System is Windows 10
Router is a Century Link C4000XG

I have tried many different suggestions that I could find online but nothing has worked. Let me know if any more info is needed and thanks for taking the time to read this.
 
Can you tell us what you have tried, so we don't repeat what you have already done.
Yes, I am not too tech savvy, so I can try and describe what I did best I can.

I reset the computer via "reset this pc"
I update the drivers on the "Realtek" adapter
I uninstalled the Realtek adapter
Made sure the suggested "services" were running
Made sure the Adapter was "enabled"
Changed the broadcast channel on the router
Changed the ssid on the router
Switched security off on the router
Manually added the network to my PC

I believe that is the majority of it.
