Hi,

I have a PC that I updated to Win11. It was all working ok, until (I think) the last update.

Ethernet works fine - and I can connect to the internet (doing it on here now). Yet WiFi keeps giving me

I've tried reboots, reset network, forget an re-add, yet nothing seems to work. The same WiFi network works fine on my other PC and laptop, so I don't think thats the issue.

It connects via:


I've checked incase there is a new driver for it, and it says I'm using the latest - so I'm unsure where to go next! Annoyingly my printer is WiFi, so I need to get this going, otherwise I can't print anything :(

TIA

Andy

Ok got it. I guess the driver got corrupted. Device Manager > Remove the:

Realtek 8811CU Wireless LAN 802.11ac USB NIC

driver, then "Scan for hardware changes". It added the same version back, but now it will connect ... woop woop!
