Hp Victus 16.1 not connecting to WIFI network

[jefstas]

Hello,

As many others on here, I'm also experiencing problems with my HP Victus 16.1 not connecting to my wifi network. 

I already tryed many of the options I found on here, yet nothing seems to work. Connection sometimes last for one minute but after that it stops and I'm unable to reconnect to the same network. 

Help please 😉

Hi @jefstas,

Welcome to HP Support Community.  

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

If your HP Victus 16.1 laptop is having trouble staying connected to your Wi-Fi network, there are several steps you can take to troubleshoot and resolve the issue. Here are some general steps you can follow.

Restart your Laptop:

• Sometimes, a simple restart can resolve connectivity issues.

Restart Your Router:

• Power cycle your router by unplugging it, waiting for about 10 seconds, and then plugging it back in. This can help refresh the connection.

Forget and Reconnect to Wi-Fi:

• Forget the Wi-Fi network on your laptop and then reconnect.
  • Go to Settings > Network & Internet > Wi-Fi.
  • Click on your Wi-Fi network, and select "Forget."
  • Reconnect by selecting the network and entering the password.

Update Network Drivers:

• Ensure that your network drivers are up to date. You can go to the Device Manager, find your network adapter, right-click, and select "Update driver."

Check for Interference:

• Other electronic devices or neighboring networks can interfere with your Wi-Fi signal. Make sure your router is placed in a central location, away from electronic devices.

Change Wi-Fi Channel:

• Access your router settings and try changing the Wi-Fi channel. This can be done by logging into your router through a web browser.

Disable Power Management for the Wi-Fi Adapter:

• Go to Device Manager, find your Wi-Fi adapter, right-click, and go to Properties. In the Power Management tab, uncheck the option that allows the computer to turn off the device to save power.

Reset TCP/IP:

• Open Command Prompt as an administrator and type the following commands:

netsh winsock reset

netsh int ip reset

ipconfig /release

ipconfig /renew

Update Firmware/BIOS:

• Check if there are any firmware or BIOS updates available for your laptop on the HP support website.

I hope this helps. 
 

Take care and have a good day.
