Why doesn't my laptop connect to a particular WiFi network?
If the WiFi network is visible and the password is correct . . .and you are still not able to connect, could it be that your device is not on the list of ‘Allowed devices’ on the router? i.e if the Access Control or MAC filtering is turned on and your device (laptop) is not on the list, you will not be able to connect.Access the router through some other device that is already connected to the networkgo to the admin panel of the routerthe default IP address, user ID and password for the router should usually be printed on a sticker under the router itselfturn off the ‘Access control’ (It can also be referred as ‘Mac filtering’ or ‘Allowed devices’ or some other name)Add your laptop’s mac address to the list of allowed devicesconnect laptop and confirm that all is wellturn Access control onIf you leave the ‘Access control’ in off mode, anyone with the User ID + Password can connect.Alternate method - Reset the router - only if nothing else works :If you are unable to access the Router’s admin panel (you forgot the user ID / password or there is no other connected device to access the panel.), look for the ‘Reset’ button under / behind the router.If you keep the router switched on and press the reset button for around 5 seconds, the router will get reset to the default settings.You can thereafter add your device and set up everything as you need.But remember, if you reset your router :you will need to know the details of how to connect your router to your ISPunless you use the same Wifi name and password for the router, all other devices that could previously connect will also have to be reconnectedGoogle for Access Control or MAC filtering and you will find plenty of tutorials, guides and videos on how to set it up on your router.SanjayLawMint - CLAT PG, UGC NET, SET, DU LLM Entrance Mock tests & Previous Question PapersDisclosure : Author has fiduciary interest in the link mentioned in the signature.

How to hack WiFi using Windows 7?
A serious answer is that if it is WPA2-PSK, odds are you will never crack it in the first place. This is especially true if he uses a strong password. (and he probably has since he challenged you to do it). He's probably toying with you , getting you to waste your time. Second, there are very few, if any, good hacking tools for Windows. You need to run some Linux tools (could be off a boot USB stick or drive so you do not affect Windows). It boils down to your skill set, and a lot of luck. I have a Linux machine dedicated to wifi cracking (BackTrack 5) with password dictionary 33GB in size (huge), and have yet to crack any WPA2 wifi that has a strong password (password with mixed case, numbers and symbols in it, at least 10 characters long or longer). At least, not in a reasonable time frame (days). Yes, simple passwords can be cracked, as can some routers with an exploit with those "connect" buttons... However, since you have to even ask here on YA how to even attempt this, I would say with all due respect, that you will not be able to crack that password.
My android phone can't connect to the WiFi, but my laptop can. How do I fix this?
If your phone has WiFi then turn it on then enter the credentials required. Also check if security is activated. You also have to be in range of the router as WiFi only goes as far as 300 metres.
How to unblock home Wifi for laptop (still working on other devices)?
You DO NOT need to do a fresh install of Windows. Just press the reset button on your router for about 20-30 seconds and then, login using the admin account and password. Change the name of the router (which is known in the router's configuration menu as the "SSID"), and add WPA2 encryption so that neighbors cannot hack into your network. Then, get onto your laptop and log into that network using the new password. You also might want to add some more details for me, such as your operating system and what brand and model number your router is. Mack
