Wifi network not showing up in list of available networks

No, like, it shows every network within range except for the one at our house, and other devices are able to connect to our home network, so I know it's not an issue with the wifi.

Hi,

My name is Angel. I am an Independent Advisor. Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.

If your computer can connect to the previous WiFi networks automatically, but there are no network names showing on the network list, then this could be an issue with the network discovery. To check if this is the case, open the Control Panel, go to Network and Internet, click Network Sharing Center, and click Advanced sharing settings, then check if the Network discovery is on. If it's not, select Turn on network discovery, then click Save changes.

If the issue persist after enabling the network discovery, you can follow other helpful steps from this article: Fix network connection issues in Windows 10.

It...almost works? But when I enter the info for the network (like the network's ID + password), it says that the network already exists, and it takes me to the "connect to a network" menu that's next to the time and date in the lower right corner...where the network does not appear!

Please note that I am by no means a tech genius and try to word your answers as plainly as possible.
