I have a laptop with win 10 I have received a new wireless modem (Zyxel WMG8924-B10A)

While having comp1 connected via wifi, I used comp2 to update settings on the router (update name and pw).

Now comp1 can only see the old name of the network on the list of available networks. And it can no longer connect to the network.

I have tried several things to update the list - including a system restore on the computer... what to do?

It seems that windows keeps a list of available wireless connections that cannot be resat (I'm guessing the name is stored with the mcac-address)

I have tried to:

Delete the connection in control panel
Remove it manually with cmd and regedit (this guide)
netsh wlan delete profile name=”oldprofile“
delete profile from: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows
Import new wifi profile from other computer
Complete system restore

Tried that... manually (cmd) and under settings – Morten Repsdorph Husfeldt Oct 26 '15 at 12:41
Did you restart in between? – DavidPostill Oct 26 '15 at 12:43
What did you do in the `cmd` shell? – DavidPostill Oct 26 '15 at 12:44
In cmd: netsh wlan delete profile name=”oldprofile“ – Morten Repsdorph Husfeldt Oct 26 '15 at 12:48
And if you do `netsh wlan show profiles` it is still there? – DavidPostill Oct 26 '15 at 12:49
no... It is gone... – Morten Repsdorph Husfeldt Oct 26 '15 at 12:50
Try `netsh interface set interface name="" admin=disabled` then `netsh interface set interface name="" admin=enabled` then `netsh wlan show networks` – DavidPostill Oct 26 '15 at 12:54
