Computer not connecting to Wifi

If your computer isn't connecting to Wi-Fi, here are some steps you can try to resolve the issue:

1) Restart the Computer: Sometimes, simply restarting your computer can fix connection problems.

2) Check Wi-Fi is Enabled:

 a) On Windows: Make sure the Wi-Fi is turned on by clicking the Wi-Fi icon in the taskbar and ensuring it's not in airplane mode.

 b) On Mac: Click the Wi-Fi icon in the menu bar and ensure it's turned on.

3) Check the Router:

Make sure your router is turned on and functioning. If possible, try restarting it.

Check if other devices can connect to the Wi-Fi. If they can't, the problem might be with the router.

4) Forget and Reconnect to the Network:

On Windows: Go to Settings > Network & Internet > Wi-Fi > Manage known networks, click your network, and select "Forget." Then reconnect by selecting your network again.

On Mac: Go to System Preferences > Network > Wi-Fi > Advanced, select your Wi-Fi network, and click the minus sign to forget it. Then reconnect.

5) Update Network Drivers (Windows):

Open Device Manager (right-click the Start button and select it).

Expand the Network adapters section, right-click your Wi-Fi adapter, and choose Update driver.

6) Run Network Troubleshooter (Windows):

Right-click the Wi-Fi icon in the taskbar, select Troubleshoot problems, and follow the instructions.

7) Check IP Configuration:

Make sure your computer is set to obtain an IP address automatically.

On Windows: Go to Control Panel > Network and Sharing Center > Change adapter settings, right-click your Wi-Fi connection, and select Properties. Double-click Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) and ensure it's set to Obtain an IP address automatically and Obtain DNS server address automatically.

On Mac: Go to System Preferences > Network > Wi-Fi > Advanced > TCP/IP and make sure it's set to Using DHCP.

8) Reset Network Settings:

On Windows: Go to Settings > Network & Internet > Status > Network reset.

On Mac: You can reset network settings by deleting network preferences. Go to Finder > Go > Go to Folder, and type /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/. Delete files like com.apple.airport.preferences.plist and networkinterfaces.plist (make sure to back them up first).

9) Check for Interference: 

Make sure no devices (like microwaves or baby monitors) are interfering with your Wi-Fi signal.

If none of these steps work, there may be a deeper issue with either your computer's network card or your router, and you might need to contact your internet service provider or seek technical help.
