How to Fix a Laptop That Can't Find Wi-Fi After Switching to a GIGA 2.0 Modem

Step-by-step help to restore your laptop's Wi-Fi connection after installing a new GIGA 2.0 modem, with an expert on standby if you get stuck.

If your laptop cannot find your Wi-Fi network after switching to a GIGA 2.0 modem, the issue is usually caused by the new modem broadcasting a different network name (SSID), incompatible Wi-Fi settings, an outdated wireless adapter driver, disabled Wi-Fi on the laptop, or incorrect router configuration.

Common fixes include confirming the modem is broadcasting Wi-Fi, restarting the modem and laptop, ensuring Wi-Fi is enabled on the laptop, checking that the modem is broadcasting both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz networks, forgetting old Wi-Fi profiles, updating the wireless adapter driver, resetting the network settings, and reconnecting to the new Wi-Fi network. If these steps do not resolve the issue, connect with an expert who can diagnose your laptop and network configuration live.
