Hi,
I turned on my laptop today and it is not finding my wifi router anymore. If I scan for available networks, it shows several different routers which are in range but not mine.
I am able to connect to the same wifi succesfully through my phone.
Can anyone help me on this?

try to turn off your router for (say) one minute…
then apply the power again and try connecting again…
maybe move around some??
(yes, i see you said you can connect with your phone…try router
shutdown, anyway)
tried switching the modem off and turning it back on.
worked once. now a few days later, I am not able to see it again.
If I connect using the ethernet cable, I am able to use the internet sometimes.
I have tried changing various settings on the router but to no avail.
my laptop sees other connections around my house but not wifi, my laptop connects to my parents’ wifi without issues.
my phone sees my wifi.
dont know what to do.

Intermittent problems are usually due to hardware problems. As your wireless
sees other APs around your house, and wired can only connect sometimes, my guess
is that something is wront with your AP/router.
This issue is still going on.
My laptop sees 12-13 wifi access points around my hose but does not pick up my own wifi. My phone connects without issues. Connection is positive with the ethernet cable but not through wireless.
Any settings on the router that may solve this?
Thanks,
Prad

Unless your router is some unusual brand with awful firmware, there should not
be any such settings. Please post the output of the following command:
sudo /usr/sbin/iwlist scan | grep ESSID
Is your AP in that list? If so, then post the full output of
sudo /usr/sbin/iwlist scan
for your AP. You should also post the output of
/sbin/lspci -nn | grep Network
OK got new issues now. After I posted the previous reply I was able to successfully connect for a few hours. Then the connection disconnected. Now I am unable to view my router, cant access via LAN cable, phone also doesnt see the connection.
I am unsure whether it is a fault with the router, the ISP or god knows what.
lwfinger,
to provide the output of the commands, I need the internet to be working at home. If and when it does work I will go ahead and post the output.
