Located a gaming PC at the landfill near my home, it performs well and everything seems fine. However, I can’t connect to my network—only my neighbors’ networks and my hotspot work as expected. I’ve tried reinstalling drivers and other troubleshooting steps, but nothing helps. Please assist!

Additionally, if anyone is curious, yes my internet connection is active, but it doesn’t appear on my computer.

The system is quite old and may encounter problems with newer WiFi standards like Wi-Fi 6. Please share your system specifications and the OS version you're using so we can proceed.

It looks like the latest info is about RTL8192CE intel I76700 GTX 1060 with 6GB and 320GB SSD, running Windows 10. I also know it uses a Spectrum Wi-Fi 6 router, as mentioned.

I’m not sure which Wi-Fi frequency I’m using right now, but 802.11n seems related to that?

Can't find any explanation in the provided data. You might be missing something. Would you like me to check your phone for Windows updates? Or should I connect while you proceed with the updates?

I was checking the Wi-Fi card I think has antennas, but I'm not sure if that's the issue since I can still see other networks and connect to them.
