  1. Cant connect to a specific wifi


    I have a windows 10 pc with a wifi adpter. Sometimes when my pc boots up, it wont connect to my home wifi, though it does connect with my cellphone hotspot. It takes some reboots and netsh winsock reset to reconnect with wifi and keep connected trought the day. Its really bothering me, very much more when it happens while im on a hurry. Im considering reinstalling windows to try and fix this, but i cant until my semester is over. I dont understand whats wrong and why would it connect after reboot... Anybody has any idea how to solve this? Thanks

    :)

  2. Assigning a default WiFi connection

    Is there any specific way to force Windows to connect to a certain WiFi connection?

    Since my PC keeps connecting to a commercial WiFi hotspot rather than to my home network when it boots.

    Things I have tried:

    • "Connect to suggested WiFi hotspots" has been turned off
    • Home network has been set to "connect automatically" when connecting
    • Hotspot networks have been "forgotten" in the WiFi settings
    Is there anything else I can try to fix this problem?

    When will the wifi connectivity problems be solved?


    OK, so the Windows 10 engineers bollixed up the wifi connectivity part of the operating system. Everybody knows that by now. It seems they are making some progress in resolving it. Now, instead of seeing "Secured, No Internet" on your list of wifi connections, you see "Connected, Secured" EXCEPT no webpages will load. So you really aren't connected. It does seem to be a step in the right direction. Does anybody know when they plan on a full and complete repair of this screw up of epic proportions?

    Hi Wabbles and welcome to Tenforums.

    I've got 4 systems connecting via wireless; all adapters are different makes; all have zero issues, and two of them are old (wireless-G only). Most every issue I have seen with wireless connections has been driver-related. (Or, impending router failure.) I would suggest identifying your adapter model/make, and searching for different drivers that you can try out. And, sometimes an older driver works better than a newer one (just had this issue on a system I was working on yesterday). Also, verify you have these same connection issues when connecting to different routers, just to rule that out.
