The fact that a different laptop connects fine from the same spot strongly points away from the router and toward the Samsung client. and rightly flagged drivers and OS issues; since already installed the latest driver (post #5), the next checks should focus on client-side radio controls, power management, physical antenna/connections, and interference rather than simply re-downloading drivers.

Collect objective data first — association, signal and negotiated link speed — then interpret it to guide repair. Useful commands (run from an elevated command prompt) are:

netsh wlan show interfaces
ipconfig /all
ping -n 10 <router-IP>

"Signal" (shown as a percentage) and the Receive/Transmit rate reveal whether the laptop is associating at a reasonable speed. General guidance: Signal ≥70% is usually reliable, 40–70% is variable, <40% often causes disconnects or very slow throughput. If Signal is low despite being next to the AP, suspect antenna/connectors or RF blocking.

Steps that add value beyond earlier replies:

  • Verify the laptop radio is actually enabled (hardware slider, Fn key toggle, Samsung wireless utility, and Windows Airplane Mode).
  • Check Device Manager → adapter → Power Management and set the power plan’s Wireless Adapter Settings to Maximum Performance.
  • If the problem began after a driver change, try rolling back to the previous driver or installing the adapter vendor’s driver (not the generic one).
  • Test with a known-good USB Wi‑Fi adapter or a phone hotspot; a working USB adapter isolates the internal card as the fault. If internal card is suspected, re-seat the mini‑PCIe card and the two antenna leads (ESD caution, warranty note) or replace the card.
  • Consider local 2.4 GHz interference (USB 3.0, cordless phones, microwaves) or forcing a 5 GHz SSID if supported.

If these steps still point to the internal radio, replacement or a low-cost USB adapter is the quickest practical fix.

1st thing is to get the latest drivers for your wifi adapter. Usually had from the manufacturer's website.

Is this Laptop new to your network, or has this problem suddenly appeared? Which operating system?

If this Laptop is new to your network then you will need to check your network settings for such things as the Workgroup name, etc. (We can advise you more on this when you tell us about your operating system)

If this problem has suddenly appeared then you would be wise to do some basic housekeeping with these programs:

Superantispyware

Malwarebytes

Defraggler (This will do a better job of defragmenting your Harddrive than Windows own)

And don't forget Cimmy's suggestion about updating your NIC drivers. :-)

You might need increasing the strength of wi-fi signals in the Modem console.

Does the laptop with the issue work on any other Wifi AP? It could be hardware you know.
