    How can I block access to open wifi networks?


    We have employees working remote and traveling across the country, using company provided laptops. We would like to know if there is a way to prevent these employees from connecting to open password-less wifi networks, using either Intune, Azure AD, or some other way. I have looked at the local group policy editor and the windows defender firewall but couldn't find anything in there to help. I have also considered using Task Scheduler to turn off the wifi adapter if windows detects an unsecured network, but I have had no success there either.The closest I've gotten to making this work is us

  2. I cant access to my wifi router

    Wifi router

    Hello marcosamerio..
    If you are unable to connect access your wifi router then there must be some problem with connection. I think the following step scan help you to connect it properly to wireless router.

    Connect your computer to the wireless router. Although you can access the router wirelessly, it is better to use an Ethernet cable to directly connect to your router so that you can securely adjust router settings. Plug the Ethernet cable into the appropriate Ethernet jack on your computer. Plug the other end of the cable into any one of the open Ethernet ports on the back of your wireless router.

    2. Open a Web browser. In the URL address field, enter the IP address for your wireless router. This information should be contained in your router’s manual. If you cannot find it, enter “198.168.1.1” as the address. This is usually the default IP address for most routers.


    3. Enter the username and password for your router. This should also be supplied in the router’s manual. If you don’t have this information, go to the RouterPasswords website and find the brand and model of your router. This site lists the default login information for most wireless routers.

    4. You should now be able to see your wireless router settings. You can configure your network ports, as well as SSID (wireless network name) and passwords.

    No WiFi in Win10 Pro (1903) Windows Sandbox

    I (seemingly) successfully updated my Surface Pro 6 to v.1903 today, and after some initial fumbles enabling it, now have Windows Sandbox enabled and it seems to open just fine. However, there is no WiFi access within Sandbox.

    Accessing Settings for Network & Internet, the list on the left is:
    Status
    Ethernet
    Dial-up
    VPN
    Airplane mode
    Date usage
    Proxy
    WiFi appears no place in that window. Network status shows No Internet Access.

    What step am I missing to be able to access the internet from within the Sandbox using my computer's WiFi connection?

    How can I block access to open wifi networks?

    Wifi networks not accessible

    Every time windows 10 updates my computer I am unable to see or connect to available wifi networks. I try turning wifi on but the button keeps turning off. When I undo the windows 10 update, I can access wifi networks. I've done this at least 3 times!
    I've tried several of the Microsoft suggestions and nothing fixes it except undoing the update.
