Windows 10: Define wireless settings per user account

Hi,

At home we have a shared PC running Win10 Pro which is used by adults and youngsters.

I want to ensure that when youngsters use the PC then they access an Wifi accesspoint which does only gives them access to the internet but not internal file shares or other computers on the network etc.

So when the admin or other accounts logs onto the PC (under a specific account) then they are automatically logged on to the "unlimited" access point where they can access file shares etc.
However when youngster's account logs onto the PC, with their specific user account, then they automatically log onto the "limited" access point.

In Win7 this was possible through:
How to Enable User-Specific Wireless Networks in Windows 7

But it seems that this feature has been removed in Windows 10 ? Any workarounds to fulfil my objective?

5800 XM: Issues with WPA (and EAP authorization)

I've had issues with this same problem, trying to connect to my university network.

I use the following settings, and it magically starts working:



internet access point settings

network status: public

wlan mode: infrastructure

wlan security mode wpa/wpa2

homepage: none

use access point: auto



wlan security settings

wpa/wpa2: EAP

epa2 only mode: off



eap plug-in settings

tick: eap-peap

tick: eap-fast (even if your network does not support it!)



eap-peap settings

personal: not defined

auth cert: (my uni's wireless auth cert, i got it off my wireless laptop)

user name in use: user defined

user name: my user name

realm in use: user defined

realm: my uni's domain name

tls: priv off

allow peapv0: OFF

allow peapv1: off

allow peapv2: off



EAP's (in the next tab under eap-peap settings)

ticked eap-mschapv2 ticked



eap-mschapv2 settings:

user name: blank

prompt password: yes



go right back out



EAP-fast settings

no cert's defined

username user defined

user your user

real user defined

realm your network

everything else off



EAP's: eap-mschapv2

username : blank

prompt password: yes





Ok now go back out and attempt to connect to wireless point.

It will prompt your user/pass a few times, but then connect.

I hope you can connect too.

 

You would have to use a Security profile that restricts the device to only a certain network. They cannot find other wifi and connect to them if they are password protected.

 

This sounds like an Access point hack to complete. If you don't have an expensive AP then chances are you'll struggle to complete this. OR if you already have the policy applied on the network side then you should be able to configure network configurations as a logon script to force wireless connectivity. That said, it won't stop them from changing networks if need be.

Does your router have a setting user isolation or simliar name that lets users go on the net but not connect local

 

@Samuria
Nope - the router does not know who are connecting

@Josh - I think your suggestion on the script sounds feasible... The kids just want internet access so I'm not concerned that they will try hard to access the unlimited access point

@bro67 - can you elaborate on what you mean by "Security profile" ? - what you describe is exactly what I had in Win7 but lack in Win10.
