    How to switch to WPA2 in Windows 10?


    I'm using Windows 10. My current WiFi settings are:
    Network and sharing center >Connections: WIFi (SSID name) >Wireless properties >Security>
    Security type: WPA personal
    Encryption type: AES

    I want to switch to WPA2 personal. When I switch it in the drop down menu the network security key disappears, I reenter it, click OK, after a while the network disconnects, I reconnect and the result is that the network still shows up as WPA - after many attempts and restarts. Same thing happens on a laptop with Windows XP.

    Here are the Network properties
    SSID: ........
    Protocol: 802.11n
    Security type: WPA-Personal
    IPv4 address: 192.168.1.5
    IPv4 DNS Servers: 192.168.1.1
    192.168.1.1
    Manufacturer: Realtek Semiconductor Corp.
    Description: Realtek RTL8723BE Wireless LAN 802.11n PCI-E NIC
    Driver version: 2023.4.720.2015
    Physical address: ‎74-29-AF-92-82-57

    Thank you in advance.

    :)

  2. Error code 0x800704CF when i try to download app from windows 10 store..what is solution??

    I'd like some feedback on the Windows Store reporting an error with the hex address 0x800704CF.

    I've followed this thread and performed suggested operations save for the proxy fix as I'm not using a proxy.

    My problem with the Windows store on this particular laptop still persists.

    I'd appreciate some help.

    Thank You!

    HELP!! - Toshiba driver update for Toshiba Hotkey Driver - Error 0x800f0203

    I'm now running Windows 10 upgraded from Windows 7 & I have the same continuous problem with the update

    • Toshiba driver update for Toshiba Hotkey Driver - Error 0x800f0203

    I tried your Method 1 to fix it which said changes have been made to my computer & to try & update again which failed.. again & the same message above came up again. My laptop is secure as I run Norton 360, so what should I do next to try & fix this problem?
    My laptop is a Toshiba satellite L650.

    Thank you

    I can't answer your question, but tell you, you need to delete or x out your ip adresses(see the quote above I used) for security reasons when posting.

    You have to log into your router and chance the settings for WiFi .

    100% correct. The security setting is set by the router/access point - Windows 10 only uses what the router/access point dictates that it has to.

    Not if they are 192.168.1.xxx addresses. Those are just local LAN addresses on the LAN side of his/her network. I will tell you the LAN side of my router is 192.168.1.1. I have three hubs/extenders that are 192.168.1.2 - 4. My main desktop computer is permanently assigned 192.168.1.10. My NAS is permanently 192.168.1.15.

    Ummm... those are internal 192.168.x.x addresses, they are useless to anyone, so no point in that.
