It's possible your laptop is just out of date with technology. I have a laptop that absolutely will not connect to my Iphone WiFi, but it does connect to my home WiFi. Now a few weeks ago my home modem got hit by lightning and it also took out my router. The internet company swapped out the modem, but I had to get a new router. When everything was fixed, my laptop would not connect to the new router's WiFi. I wasn't surprised because it won't connect to my phone either. 2 days later I went out and purchased a new laptop.
