If your laptop cannot detect your Wi-Fi network, there are a few troubleshooting steps you can try to resolve the issue:

1. Restart your laptop and router: Sometimes simply restarting your laptop and router can help fix connectivity issues. Turn off your laptop and unplug your router for at least 30 seconds, then plug it back in and turn your laptop back on.

2. Move your laptop closer to the router: If your laptop is too far away from the router, it may not be able to detect the Wi-Fi network. Move your laptop closer to the router and see if it can detect the network.

3. Check if the Wi-Fi adapter is enabled: Make sure that the Wi-Fi adapter on your laptop is enabled. You can check this by going to the Device Manager on your laptop, finding the Wi-Fi adapter, and making sure that it is not disabled.

4. Check for driver updates: Outdated or corrupted Wi-Fi drivers can cause connectivity issues. Check for driver updates on your laptop manufacturer's website or use a driver update tool to automatically update your drivers.

5. Reset your router: If none of the above steps work, try resetting your router to its default settings. This will erase all your Wi-Fi network settings and allow you to set up a new network with a new name and password.

If you're still unable to connect to your Wi-Fi network, contact your Internet Service Provider (ISP) for further assistance. They may be able to help you troubleshoot the issue or send a technician to fix any underlying problems with your internet connection.
