I've been struggling with connecting my Windows 11 PC to Wi-Fi for several months. I've tried all the usual fixes like updating and rolling back drivers, forgetting the network, and even doing a network reset. The strange part is that my Wi-Fi works perfectly on my phone and other family laptops. Anyone have any suggestions to help me get this sorted?

It sounds like you've already tried a lot of the common solutions. Since you mentioned you're using Windows, here are a few options you might still consider:
1. Check the manufacturer's website for your device to see if there's a newer Wi-Fi driver you can install.
2. In Device Manager, uninstall your wireless driver from the Network Adapters section, then reboot your PC – it should reinstall the driver automatically.
3. If that doesn't work, a complete reinstall of Windows might be necessary, although I totally get how frustrating that can be! Set aside some time for it, maybe even grab some take-out to ease the process.
4. Lastly, it could be a hardware issue with your Wi-Fi card. If that's the case, a simple USB Wi-Fi dongle could be a quick and easy fix!
Hope one of these suggestions helps you out!
I tried the USB dongle route when I had similar issues, and it did the trick for me! You might want to consider that as a quick fix.
