Laptop computer wi-fi issue
I haven't used my laptop in a few days but it stays plugged in and in sleep mode . Yesterday I took it out of sleep mode and tried to surf but it wouldn't connect to wi-fi . I tried rebooting but didn't help . I powered it down and left it unplugged overnight. Fired it up this morning and same issue , when trying to connect it spins for a bit and say's connection failed .
I ran Windows Network Diagnostics and there was one problem found : problem with wireless adapter or access point . All TV's in the house use Roku wireless devices and they work . My wife's phone and mine are both working via wi-fi so there doesn't appear to be an issue with the internet or our wi-fi router. Signal strength looks solid . Any suggestions on what is wrong or what else I can try ?
I will add I have an adapter plugged into the outlet near the router that sends a wi-fi signal through the house wiring to provide a signal to my detached garage . That is currently not working , I have unplugged to reboot but no worky . Coincidence ? Not sure . Help please and talk to me as the 63 year old that I am
