DeadlyDirk Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 Hello All, Just thought I'd canvas for alternate opinions here as I struggle to fix this problem! So, Desktop computer, was using it fine this morning, on the web, surfing the internet to use an outdated phrase. Shut it down, popped out, came back to do some work on it, and all of a sudden, can't connect to WiFi on it (the router is physically to far to try a wired connection at this time!), but yet the wifi connection is still useable on my laptop, phone and everything else WiFi in the house. Just to clarify, I'm using Windows 10 64-Bit and a TP-Link TL-WN823N V1 - and a I say, it has worked fine up until now. The desktop has undergone no changes or installations in the last 12 hours, unfortunatley I had System Restore disabled so there isn't a restore point, I've tried "Identify and Repair Network Settings" to no avail, the router has been rebooted a few times, but again the problem lies with the desktop as everything else seems to be working fine. I have uninstalled and then re-installed the driver for the adapter, still no joy, and erm, that's it so far! Anyone else got any constructive ideas?

limpid Posted December 19, 2015 Administrator Share Posted December 19, 2015 Try a linux live image on USB to confirm whether it's the hardware. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeadlyDirk Posted December 19, 2015 Author Share Posted December 19, 2015 Well, thanks for the tip, I have made a key but tried something more simple first. Diconnected the power supply to the desktop to tclear the capacitors, and the same with the router, moved the adapter to a front facing socket, fired it all back up and it worked.. Lovely stuff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
