If you're struggling to connect to Wi-Fi from a device that can't be moved, like a TV, you might need to upgrade your network with a long-range router. However, distance is just one possible cause for missing Wi-Fi, so try these other solutions before you commit to purchasing a new router or Wi-Fi range extender. Ensure that the right items are connected and switched on. Here are a few things to look for:

Is the router plugged into power? If you're getting wired internet, then the answer is yes. Check if you're not sure.

Does your laptop have a Wi-Fi switch? Some are physical switches, and others are toggles on the keyboard. If it's set to the off position, simply flip it on to see all the Wi-Fi networks around you. Turn off Wi-Fi, wait 10 seconds, then turn it back on. This is like a mini reboot of just Wi-Fi.

Restart the modem and router. Power cycling this hardware can fix internet connectivity issues and resolve problems with wireless connections. Restart your device. The router is just one piece of the puzzle; restarting your computer or phone, too, can fix the missing Wi-Fi network if a hiccup on your device is the reason it's gone.

In some cases, you might need to force your computer off by holding down the power button for a full minute. This is not the usual way of rebooting, but it might be necessary to fix this issue. Once it's off, wait a few seconds before switching it on.

You might be using a VPN without knowing it. They're included in some security software, so look around your antivirus program and ad blocker for any mention of one.

Connect to the hidden network, assuming it's actually hiding. A Wi-Fi network can have its SSID set to not broadcast to devices, making it appear to be missing when it's really just not easily visible. Look for interference. This is one of the many reasons Wi-Fi connections drop. Numerous objects around a home or office can interfere with a wireless router. Potential issues include thick walls, appliances, fluorescent lights, and other wireless devices, like security cameras.
