Recently, everyone is writing only about Windows 10. Someone criticizes, someone really liked the system, everyone is updated, tested and so on. I also try to be in the "trend" :), so I put the top ten next to the already installed Winodws 7, and used it a little. Well, of course, I checked how Wi-Fi works, and how network management is generally organized. Even in comparison with Winodws 7, practically nothing has changed, just there are, as it were, one more settings that are sharpened for touch screens.
The panel for connecting to Wi-Fi networks has changed a bit, now it is possible to turn on or off Wi-Fi in just two clicks. The main thing that I liked was the automatic installation of all drivers, including the network card and Wi-Fi receiver. On my laptop, a model like 2013, all the drivers were installed automatically. I don't know how it will be on other computers, but it's very cool, because on the same Winodws 7, there were always a lot of problems with connecting to Wi-Fi, precisely because of the drivers. The only thing I never found was where to look at the password for the Wi-Fi network in Windows 10. The method I wrote about in this article does not work. There simply is no "Wireless Network Management" item. I will study this topic a little more, and write about how to remember the password on the "top ten".
In this article, I want to show you how to connect to Wi-Fi on Windows 10. I will also show you where the wireless network settings are.
We connect a laptop or tablet on Windows 10 to a Wi-Fi network
Everything is very simple, and even beautiful. On the notification panel (in the lower right corner), click on the button in the form of network divisions (Wi-Fi antennas). If you have a driver for Wi-Fi installed, but the adapter itself is turned off, then the icon will be with a red cross, and if there are networks available for connection, then it will be with an asterisk.
Click on this icon, and if Wi-Fi is off, then click on the corresponding button and turn on the wireless adapter.
Immediately after turning on the wireless adapter, networks available for connection appear on top. Click on the desired network and click on the button Connect... You can uncheck the box Connect automaticallyif you don't want your device to establish a connection to this network by itself.
If the network is protected by a password, you will need to specify it.
Then the system will ask if you want your computer to participate in the home network. It will be seen by other devices. If you are connecting to your home network, then I recommend clicking Yes... So that then there are no problems with setting up a local network.
That's it, your computer will be connected to the Internet. By clicking on the network you are connected to, you can easily disconnect from it.
You can finally test your new browser -Microsoft Edge... An interesting browser by the way, I would like to see your feedback about it.
How to open Wi-Fi settings on Windows 10?
Click on the connection icon, and click on the link Network parameters.
The settings will open "Network and Internet". There and the wireless network settings.
You can also open the network and shared access control panel familiar to us. Just right click on the connection icon and select Network and Sharing Center... And then everything is the same as in Windows 7 and 8, adapter management, etc.
So far, I have not heard of any problems with Wi-Fi on Windows 10, errors, crashes, and the like. Well, by tradition, the most popular problem is "no Internet access", or rather the connection status "Limited", with a yellow triangle next to the network icon. Typically, the router is the culprit. More precisely, the wrong setting. If you have such an error, then see the article: "Connection is limited" in Windows 10 via Wi-Fi and network cable.
I would be grateful for your comments on the topic of the article. Write how you like Windows 10, whether there are any problems with accessing the Internet via Wi-Fi, or about any new features of the system.
