[02:27] Conclusion
Method 1: Improving Signal Reception
Our first method is quite straightforward. Ensure that you're receiving at least 50% of the wireless signal where you're using your computer with the Realtek WiFi adapter. If you're struggling with poor reception, consider using a 6-feet USB-A male to female extension cable to boost signal strength.

Method 2: The Actual Fix
Alright, let's move on to the actual fix for the "Can't Connect to this Network" error. Follow these steps carefully:
1. Insert the WiFi adapter into a USB 2.0 port which is in black color and not a USB 3.0 with a blue color.
2. Open the "Run" app and enter the command ncpa.cpl to access the network connections.
3. Locate the Realtek RTL8188FTV Wireless LAN Adapter which I’m using, right-click on it, and choose "Properties."
4. Click on "Configure," then navigate to the "Advanced" tab.
5. Under "Property," select "Bandwidth" and change the value from 20_40MHz to 20MHz Only.
6. Click "OK" to close the window.
Now, give it a try and connect to your desired wireless network using the Realtek WiFi adapter or a similar wireless dongle. You should be good to go!
