Windows 10: Automatically switch on to stronger Wi-Fi connection

In 2017, a post was made asking this question and the responder agreed it would be a good idea but wasn't active at the time. In 2019, is there an automatic wifi switching to working internet providers (e.g. when active wifi stops providing data transmission)? If not in Windows, can this be enabled by other software, considering google Android & Apple ios does this?


2017 post:

Is there any way that i can cofigure my pc to automatically switch to a different wifi network if the current one stops providing internet connection?

I have 3 wifi networks at my place but none of them have a hundred percent uptime(wifi keeps broadcasting without internet) so i just want it to switch to a different one which has internet


***Original Title: still no auto wifi switch upon loss of internet connection?***

Windows 10 stop automatically connecting to random new wi-fi networks


Hi,

I have searched a lot, but all the tutorials I found only explained how to not connect automatically to a known wi-fi network or how to disable wi-fi sense... but this is not what I am looking for...

PROBLEM:

• When my laptop (Windows 10 Pro X64) is not connected to a network and the wireless adapter is on, it will automatically connect to any random new unsecured wi-fi network... The only way I have now to avoid this is to disable my wi-fi adapter.

UNUSEFUL TUTORIALS I FOUND ON THE INTERNET:

• How to manually uncheck the option for a particular wi-fi network not to connect automatically in Network Properties. This is not what I am looking for. This would suggest that everytime I power my computer. I would have to manually go through all the available wi-fi networks and unclick them all...
• How to disable Wi-Fi Sense. This is not useful, because I don't even have a Wi-Fi sense option in my computer where the tutorials say it should be.

EXPECTED BEHAVIOR:

• I am looking for an option to tell my computer to stop connecting randomly to unknown wi-fi networks like an hyperactive, reckless idiot.

PERSONAL COMMENT:

• Honestly, why would any respectable company think that it could be somewhat wise or secure to do this... Anyone's computer could just randomly connect to any hacker's wi-fi network without the user even knowing it...

Any solutions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

 

Wi-Fi Is Not Connecting Automatically


Every time I started my computer, my wi-fi adapter would connect to the wi-fi network automatically. But now, I have to enter the password and connect manually every time I login to my computer. Even if I check "Connect Automatically" it doesn't help.

Tried the following, still isn't working.

Windows 10 doesn't connect automatically to a Wi-Fi network


Hi,

I have a little problem.
Every time I boot my laptop (or restart it) I need to manually connect to a Wi-Fi network thought I've checked the "connect automatically" box.



I tried to "forget" and reconnect to that network and still got the same result after a boot/restart.
I'm almost sure it goes for every Wi-Fi network it remembers.

Any suggestions ?

Thank you
