Today I tried installing brother drivers in order to connect my printer to my laptop. For some reason I wasn't able to finish the installation so I cancelled it.

It also gives me the ability to continue later and that might be the problem

There are no processes open, I restarted the PC multiple times, I see every other network except the one that's mine. Other devices can connect to my wifi no problem. I have no idea. It also doesn't seem to see my hotspot when I create it, but it does pick up random wifi signals and updates the list normally.

Resetting the network settings does not work.

Shutting all antivirus software also does nothing.

Resetting the router does nothing too.

I don't know what else can there be, please help.

    Turns out my wifi SSID and password changed for some reason, probably after resetting the router. After changing the name and password everything works fine.

    I could connect using some devices to the 5G network, but the data of the 2.4G network changed
