Hey everyone,
So, I’ve got this Dell Inspiron running Windows Vista, and honestly, everything was cruising along just fine until my spacebar decided to quit on me. A buddy from work was nice enough to swap out the keyboard for me, but now that I'm back home, things have gone totally sideways. It won't connect to the Wi-Fi for the life of me. It just keeps telling me it can't find any wireless networks. I already tried hitting that fn + all the F keys combo, but no luck there. My other gadgets are picking up the home router just fine, so it's definitely just this machine acting up.

It’s possible that my colleague here might have just accidentally hit the physical Wi-Fi button—you know how those things go? Maybe take a quick look along the side of the laptop, or perhaps there's even a tiny switch tucked underneath somewhere (if the model has one). Otherwise, check the keyboard itself; try hunting for that little Wi-Fi icon.

...or maybe when you were taking it apart and doing some quick cleaning, you just unplugged those two little cables from the Wi-Fi adapter (the coax antenna ones)... and totally forgot to plug them back in.

Thanks a ton. Turns out it was just a finicky button. Problem solved... 🙌

Hey there, I was wondering if it's actually possible to change my Wi-Fi password

To give you some context, I picked up a used Samsung Galaxy Tab router from a T-Mobile store and popped in a data SIM from a different provider, so now I'm trying to figure out how to go in and switch up the Wi-Fi password

I'm running Windows 10

If you check your router settings, you can usually find out which specific numbers you need to punch into your browser to access the admin panel—it really depends on your exact model. For my setup with Xfinity, I just use 192.168.0.1
