I have a FUJITSU with Intel wireless N 7260 network adapter.

a year  ago my wifi was working perfectly but after some updates, it has stopped detecting nearby WIFI. It is able to detect wifi when i am in a very close range like a few steps away but cannot detect the wifi signal when i am in the next room. It used to connect in that room earlier but now it won't show in the available network list.

It is causing a lot of problems. I have tried Troubleshooting and uninstalling and then reinstalling the driver but nothing seems to work.

    Hi there!

    I'm Louie, a Microsoft Community member and a fellow Windows 10 user like you. Hope you're doing well and safe there. I'm sorry that you're having trouble with your network connection.

    I would suggest first you to run network troubleshooter, use these steps.

    But if you've already performed this, you may skip this step and move to the next one.

    Open Settings.

    Click on Update & Security.

    Click on Troubleshoot.

    Under the "Recommended troubleshooting" section, click the Additional troubleshooters option.

    Under the "Get up and running" section, select the Internet Connections troubleshooter.

    Quick note: On Windows 10 version 1909 and earlier, the option is available within the Troubleshoot page.

    Click the Run the troubleshooter button.

    Select the Troubleshoot my connection to the Internet option.

    Select the Try these repairs as an administrator option (if applicable).

    Continue with the on-screen directions (if applicable).

    After you complete the steps, the troubleshooter will run and fix any connectivity issues.

    In the case that the troubleshooter is unable to resolve the problem, you should try resetting the TCP/IP stack and clearing any DNS information on Windows 10.

    To reset the network stack with Command Prompt, use these steps:

    1. Open Start.
    2. Search for Command Prompt, right-click the top result, and select the Run as administrator option.
    3. Type the following command to reset the component that handles network requests and press Enter:

    netsh winsock reset

    1. Type the following command to reset the internet protocol stack and press Enter:

    netsh int ip reset

    1. Type the following command to clear the current networking configuration and press Enter:

    ipconfig /release

    1. Type the following command to reconfigure the network settings and press Enter:

    ipconfig /renew

    1. Type the following command to clear the DNS information cached and press Enter:

    ipconfig /flushdns

    1. Restart your computer.

    Once you complete the steps, launch the web browser and confirm the internet is working.

    If the steps above still doesn't work, reset all the network adapters, use these steps:

    Open Settings.

    Click on Network & Internet.

    Click on Status.

    Under the "Advanced network settings" section, click the Network reset option.

    Click the Reset now button.

    Click the Yes button.

    After you complete the steps, the computer will restart automatically, and on reboot, you should now be able to connect to the internet.

    The tool will reset all the network adapters installed on your computer to their factory defaults, which means that you'll need to re-enter the password to connect to a wireless network. Also, you'll need to reconfigure other networking software, such as VPN clients, if applicable.

    I also would recommend you to follow the solutions provided on the links below and see if it works:
