Solved New HP laptop won't connect to my wifi, 7 other devices are connected.

Win 11 version19045.4355

Hi, This laptop is my 1st foray into Win 11. I started it up and set the country and the keyboard to US. It's wifi connection window sees my network. I know my password well and it's typed in correctly. Within a couple seconds it displays 'cannot connect to this network. I've logged out and in on 2 other devices so the Deco will let me in. I have restarted multiple times, tried using both sides of the SHIFT key in case 1 was bad. I am able to boot into safe mode should I need it. Please advise and thanks!

Reboot your router. I know it doesn't seem like you'd need to with other systems working, but it's worked for me twice when everything but Win 11 would hook up.

Welcome to the forum.

If rebooting doesn’t help. Try typing your password into notepad and copy/pasting it into the window.

Alternatively you could try manually runing the Network Troubleshooter (If it’s been removed from the troubleshooting options)
I’ve run one for network issues before and let it fix the error for me.

It turned out to be a LOT more under the hodd of the network. I have a Netgear C7000v2, Firewalla Gold and the Deco. For unknown reasons, the Gold and Deco had not been updating. The Deco updated 2x before it actually functioned again. The laptop finally gave up the ghost and w/o being online updated something that gave me the chance to try again. It failed again! I restrted it. It came up and the wifi was now working. WTH... Anyway, much thatnks for the help sorting the deep pile of weirdness!

Sometimes it may take a little while for a relationship to be formed between a PC and a Router.
The troubleshooter can often fix this, it has for me.

Whatever the reason, I’m glad the problem is solved!
