We've been having a strange issue with my brother in-law's laptop. We have 2 separate wireless networks in our house, but his laptop will only "see" one of them. All other devices like phones and other laptops can connect to both networks without a problem.
There's no mac filtering set on the router, we've tried resetting the router, tried manually connecting to the network, but it wont at all... I know it's not a driver issue because it can connect to the other network just fine.
Any suggestions?

Jump to PostAre you sure both access points are broadcasting their SSID's? That can be disabled so a network is invisible. He should be able to connect to the "invisible" network via its SSID explicitly. Once he does so, his system should be able to remember and see it in the future.
Jump to PostCheck the settings (properties) of the wireless adapter on the computer. Ensure that it is set to use your router is using (a/b/g...etc).
