So I've just moved back into an apartment, and my PC doesn't want to connect to the main WiFi router. My PC will recognise the router, and even prompt me to enter its password, but when I do, it will "verify and connect" for up to a minute, then just say "can't connect to this network" (I know it's the right password too, just to clarify). The WiFi extender is 2.4Ghz while the router is 5Ghz, and I have made sure my PC is 5g compatible.
Furthermore, all other devices in the Apt can connect to both the router and extender from any part of the Apt perfectly fine.
Also, earlier this year when I was living here, I had the same issue with the WiFi, and ethernet wouldn't work with the main router either (I can't remember the error it gave me but I remember giving up on troubleshooting after hours of fruitless pain). I don't have the cable now, however. Just felt it was necessary to include that.
Lastly, the extender is not only 2.4Ghz as opposed to 5g, but it's dead opposite the apartment from me, while the router is directly below my PC.
Cannot find any solutions on this for the life of me, and the packet loss, latency spikes, and general lag in games and Discord is doing my head in. Any help is appreciated, thanks.
