Hello people! Thanks for reading my very first real post on reddit and any help that may come from it.
The other week I was at a conference center with conference wifi for everyone. I have an iPhone 8 and a Samsung gs7. The SSID being broadcast showed up fine on both mobile devices but not on a cheap tablet that I purchased for the occasion (Samsung Tab A?). I reasoned that it was my own fault for buying a cheap tablet and maybe it was something to do with their hardware since I made sure to apply all applicable updates.
Now I'm at another conference center with 2(actually 6) laptops. They're all Dell Inspiron 15: five running windows 10 home, the other running windows server 2016.
This time, I have the same problem. I see the SSID being broadcast and can access from windows 10 home laptops.. but not the machine running windows server.
I wish I could drop it and move on but this kind of tells me that my prior assumption, that maybe it was a problem of hardware, is not necessarily right.
I have been working all day and haven't really had a moment to stop and think this through or do any significant research on the topic (and on that note I might need to come back and make edits/clarify because I'm too tired to go back and re-read this). Google searches flood me with common troubleshooting techniques that were not helpful. I don't really care about getting this specific device onto that wifi network. What I want is to understand why some devices can't even see an SSID. Why would 2 Any advice on where to start looking for an answer would also be helpful if there is no one that can help answer my question. Thank you for any help.
