This seems to be a common problem on some of the Win 10 running PC's.

Overview After upgrading to Windows 10 through a clean install, I was using my Asus x200 ma (a netbook probably made for surfing Internet) for surfing the Internet through wifi and everything was working fine. Recently, probably 3 months later, the Wifi can't detect any network. It sometimes detect networks but it instantly turns to No available connection. Sometimes, I was fast enough to click on the connect button and then enter the pass key. But a while later, a message showing 'Can't connect to this network' always appears. I've searched on Internet and stack exchange sites but nothing worked. I found this question useful as it had a variety of answers but it neither worked.

Wifi adapter details

As I told before, I am running Asus x200 ma windows 10.

Things I have tried

  • Googling a lot about the problem.

  • Uninstalling and reinstalling WLAN drivers.

  • Executing a few commands like the one that deletes some registry values. I don't remember all of them. But it resulted in 'Error: no such value found'.

Please help and if needed comment for further details.

Update: A few commands that I've executed for solving the problem :-

  • reg delete HKCR\CLSID{988248f3- a1ad-49bf-9170-676cbbc36ba3} /va /f

  • netsh int ip reset

  • netsh int tcp set heuristics disabled netsh int tcp set global autotuninglevel=disabled netsh int tcp set global rss=enabled netsh int tcp show global

Many older WiFi-chipsets seem to have faulty/buggy drivers for Windows 10. Often you're better off trying to find the Windows 8 driver and using specifically that one with Windows 10. I have encountered this problem on several computers with different WiFi hardware, that I upgraded to Windows 10.

But as an immediate fix, what always helped for me:

  • Go to "Network Connections" (you have it open in your 2nd screenshot)

  • Right-click the wifi adapter and click "Disable", wait a few seconds

  • Right-click the disabled wifi adapter and click "Enable"

This always worked for me. Though annoying, it is much less annoying than having to restart the whole computer.

On my side, after reading a lot of solutions and operations (update or downgrade drivers, windows update, example, etc...) regarding the computer which was not able to connect but none of them were relevant.

After analysing my router configuration I saw that the channel had two settings:

  1. the channel selection was set to "Auto"
  2. There is a checkbox saying "enable channels 12 and 13" which was checked (I had only issue with Wifi 2.4 Ghz).

I arrive to the conclusion that the computer Wifi network card was not supporting channels 12 or 13 (probably due to old chipset as also mentioned in the other answer).

My solution was just to disable the "enable channels 12 and 13" option and keep the selection to Auto so that it can be any of the channel 1 to 11.
