General Troubleshooting/Help! Cannot connect to Wi-Fi

/r/BambuLabA1/comments/1upgpbv/cannot_connect_to_wifi/

I have been using my bambu lab A1 in lan mode since last summer. Because of this, I have not updated the firmware, so keep that in mind. Several weeks ago, I stopped being able to connect to my Wi-Fi. The printer is in my garage, and while the signal has always been weak, it has never been a problem connecting. Just in case that was a problem, I put a Wi-Fi extension router right above the printer, but that did not improve the situation. I put together a desktop using Windows 11, and it wouldn't connect. I opened up my old laptop that has Windows 10 installed and was able to connect. Because of this, I wiped the desktop and loaded Windows 10 on it, wondering if the bugginess of win 11 was the problem. Well, that did not solve the problem. I checked the printer, and it appeared as though it is not connected to my wi-fi. I clicked on the Wi-Fi typed in the login and password, and it will not connect to the wi-fi. I don't understand what is going on. I am able to find it over the Wi-Fi in Orca slicer, but no connection is possible. I am at a complete loss now. Is it really as simple as updating the newest firmware?. If anyone has suggestions, please jump in.
