I just bought a new Windows 10 computer, and I have a functioning router and Google mesh wifi already set up with a few other devices. My new computer can't seem to find the network, so I've only been able to connect it to the internet by wiring the computer directly to one of the routers. My ISP says I need to change the wifi settings to broadcast the SSID, but I don't see on the Google Home app how to do that. Please advise. Thanks!

Hello @jbayless
Google WiFi always broadcasts the SSID – it can't be disabled to start with. If your PC can't see the network, then I would focus on the PC itself. If it can see other WiFi networks in the area, but not Google WiFi, that would be rather unexpected, for example.

Hi Michael,
Thanks for your reply. Good to know that Google WiFi is already broadcasting the SSID. My new computer isn't seeing any networks. I will check with the local company that built it to see if they have any solutions.

Thanks for checking, Edward; my husband was in the hospital this week (thankfully a health issue now resolved) so computer issues were low on my list.
