I am using a network adapter and it’s giving me problems. When I open the WiFi tab to display all nearby networks, it displays all except for mine. My network is an ATT network and I see that someone else has an ATT network on the list, so it can’t be something wrong with the type of router. At one point, I did see my network, but it went away like a second later and I couldn’t click on it in time. Another time I saw my network pop up was when I tried manually adding the network. After adding my network, when I went to open the WiFi list, I saw my network and clicked on it and entered the password, but when I clicked connect, it said I couldn’t connect to the network.

Ok so can you go in and change the name of your adapter so you can easily identify your adapter. Then I would use a wifi scanner app to see what channels are being heavily used in your neighborhood, surroundings etc. Then either have the system automatically scan for a channel or manually enter a channel that isn't being heavily used for the band you are using 5ghz or 2.4 ghz.. Then see if you can connect easier.
