Wifi not showing up

Today I got internet installed and it's connecting to all devices except for one computer. On that computer it isn't showing up in the available networks.

What model/operating system is the computer that is not seeing the WiFi network?  Does it see ANY networks?  Have you looked at the computers' WiFi network device settings to see if something needs to be tweaked to see what your WiFi network is broadcasting?

FWIW. If it is a 5.0 GHz band SSID that is broadcasting, and if that computer's WiFi adapter only supports the 2.4 GHz band, it won't even see it.

I had the same problem.  Could see 10 other WiFi networks around my neighborhood.  After trying everything online I went into the Gateway/Router settings using the http://10.0.0.1/wireless_network_configuration_edit.php?id=1 link and changed the "mode" from "802.11 g/n/ax" to just "802.11 g/n" and it showed up on my available networks!  Hope this helps.
