So it's definitely not the internet connection itself. My WiFi works fine on two other Windows 8.1 laptops around the house and on my ethernet-connected desktop (also Win 8.1). In my efforts to elliminate possibilities I uninstalled most of the HP software to see if that was downloading/altering something to the system (I can re-install them if necessary) but that doesn't appear to be it - so I think this is a Windows 8.1 issue? So I think it's some kind of Update that gets installed maybe? When I do a System Restore of a few days prior they will magically re-appear and Windows will happily connect to them until it happens again. I can't find them anywhere and Windows will not connect to them anymore, obviously, as it's pretending they don't exist.
In other words, all available networks in the neighborhood it will show in the list - only the two that I use magically disappear out of the list every few hours/days. I recently bought a HP Pavillion 15-n200ed laptop, it worked fine the first few days (only have it 15 days) so far BUT it has started doing the following which I just can't wrap my head around: I have two network devices in my house - the router connected to my cable modem AND the WiFi extender that boosts the signal of said router into the living room on the second floor For some reason Windows seems to magically let both devices "disappear" entirely. And here is how to connect to a hidden Wi-Fi network that doesn’t broadcast its name.This seemed to me the most logical catagory to post this, I might post this in Windows 8 later because I'm not 100% sure if this is more of a Windows issue or a WiFi issue - anyway let me explain and I really hope someone can help me out! After you hide SSID, everyone will first need to enter the correct SSID and only then – a valid security key to connect to your wireless network. The ultimate step-by-step guide on how to connect to a hidden Wi-Fi network (hotspot that is not broadcasting its SSID) on Windows 10 desktop or laptop, phone or tablet with Android 8, 9, 10, iPhone or iPad (iOS 11, 12, 13)Īs you probably know, you can hide your Wi-Fi network name in the settings of your wireless router (or access point) to improve security of your hotspot.
