Windows 10: can not connect my laptop to the public library network through Wi-Fi.

I am using a Lenovo G50-80 Laptop with Windows 10 Home and my problem is that I can not connect my laptop to the public library network through Wi-Fi. I turn off Norton protection and makes no difference. My laptop does not list all the available networks. Windows think the public library network is not safe. What do I do?

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!

 

Public Wi-Fi Network Issues

Hello,


I have a windows 10 laptop which I upgraded from windows 7.


To use my laptop at school I connect to the public Wi-Fi. This works for about 10 minutes after I first start up the laptop. Then it disconnects.


When I try to reconnect, the wifi connection box pops down and the icons seem to show the wifi card turning off and restarting. Eventually a message pops up below the network which says it cannot connect.


The problem is usually fixed by putting the laptop to sleep or restarting. The problem is not experienced when connected to any non-public network.


I've tried 2 driver versions, both give the same result.

I've tried a fresh install of windows 10, still have the same result.

I've tried turning off the firewall and antivirus, still have the same result.

I have also tried the troubleshooter and resetting the network etc from the network troubleshooting guide.


The laptop is an Asus K55VD.


Any suggestions?

 

Different Network Connection From the same Wi-Fi

Hi,

Thank you for providing the details.

As mentioned above in your post, the Desktop is connected to the Ethernet
and Laptop is Connected to the Wi-Fi. It is not possible to connect to the same Wi-Fi networks. If both Desktop and Laptop are on Wi-Fi devices then you could try connecting it to the same Wi-Fi network.

• Did you try the below step provided and what was the result?

I would suggest you to create a new HomeGroup and check if it helps.
Refer: HomeGroup
from start to finish

(Applies to Windows 10 as well)
