Please restart the wifi transmitter. Because this may be the reason why the laptop cannot catch wifi or it may be that the wifi has been used for a long time leading to an error, so please turn off the device for about 2-3 minutes then turn it back on to see the result.

Check network cable

Check your network cable to see if the connection is still good. For network cables, if you buy the self-crimping type or use it for a long time, the possibility of losing connection is quite high. Try turning off the device, removing the cable from the router and turning it back on, after about ten seconds for the device to boot up, reinstall the cable. If the signal light corresponding to the cable port starts flashing continuously, your network cable is still working well. If not, you may have to crimp the cable again.

Check connection in Control Panel

Step 1: Access Control Panel by searching for the application on the Taskbar. With Control Panel you can check deep inside the network card.

Step 2: Then, go to Change Adapter Setting inside Network and Sharing Center.

Step 3: Finally if the network card is disabled (it is grayed out), right click and select Enable.

With this method, you can fix the Wifi error or lost connection in Win 10 and Win 11.
