How can a Lenovo Yoga 500 miss some Wi-Fi networks?

OralXXLByOralXXL

A Lenovo Yoga 500 with WIN 10 Home receives some WLANs, others remain invisible.

My aunt in a nursing home wants to go online with her laptop, but she just can't find the local open home network. It's the same at home – my Wi-Fi doesn't exist. Others (my neighbors) do… It also found my Samsung XCover 5 hotspot, and the connection is good.
The antenna is an Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 3160.
What can I do?

Sounds like the WLAN module only ran with a frequency band (2.4 or 5 GHz). Then, of course, WLANs running only in the other band are not recognized.

Could be on the frequency band, or could also be another 5GHZ channel the laptop does not recognize.
If dsa frequency band is also set n/g/a etc., the laptop may not be clear. This is probably the old WLAN module that the laptop has.

You can only add a small extra Wi-Fi stick.

If you try to set the channel selection on "automatic" in the router, then the router is looking for the appropriate frequency alone.
