—Im typing this on a phone, so it isn’t an issue with my router because it is connected to the internet

So yesterday my (Windows 10) laptop completely disconnected me from my WiFi, and then I tried to reconnect by connecting to my correct WiFi and typing in the correct password, but instead of reconnecting me like it always did it said “Can’t connect to this WiFi”. I have been trying to resolve this issue, I have tried every single tutorial on YouTube. —Just as a note, I have tried updating the adapter, resetting my network, made sure it automatically finds the ip, etc, etc.— Can anyone give real time advice on what the hell I should do?

It could be that your laptop wifi transmitter has died. Connect your laptop to your router via a cable to see if it will connect to the internet that way first.
If it does connect then the problem is with the wifi transmitter. Next, make sure that the wifi transmitter is enable.

Okay, I’ll make sure to try that later today.

My W10 also does that sometimes, it disconnects and says the WiFi is limited while I am connected on my phone. Weird, really weird.

Keep in mind this is all assuming you have access to your computer:

If you're on Windows 10, you should be able to right click on the WiFi connections and fix the issue by troubleshooting. You could try looking into your WiFi adapter in Windows and seeing if you need any drivers, sometimes Windows can install drives for you automatically that fix the issue.

Last Fix: (This has worked for me) if nothing works after trying everything, you can buy an external hard drive/somewhere to put your files and reset your computer, if you have recently upgraded from a different operating system (Example: Windows 8 - 10) it most likely will fix the issue if you go back to that version.

Troubleshooting almost never works it didn't work for me.

It sometimes does, it can help if it does work, and it is worth a try

I already tried troubleshooting a while ago. It only said that there was an issue with the router (which there’s not). I think I’m gonna trust Nukem on this one. I know my adapter is up to date, I checked in device manager, and also uninstalled and made Windows install a new one, which was the exact same. And I do not want to hard reset lol. My laptop is pretty old, so going off Nukem’s idea, does anyone know what cable I could use to connect to router to the laptop, and how I can reenable the WiFi transmitter?
