    How do I stop my neighbours' WiFi networks appearing in my list of available networks ?


    Whenever my network drops out and I click on the WiFi icon in my system tray to re-connect I get 5 or more networks that aren't mine. I would like to stop this happening


    I am running WINDOWS 10 all latest updates


    Thanks

    :)

  2. Limited WiFi Connection

    I have recently upgraded to Windows 10 and now my internet connection is limited for my WiFi.

    When i try connect to my modem i just get limited connection but when I use my mobile phone hotspot it works just fine.

    I have tried the following;

    To manually reset TCP/IP, follow these steps:

    Note: You must be logged on to the computer as an administrator to perform the steps.

    1. On the Start search box, type CMD. In the search results, right-click Command Prompt, and then clickRun as administrator.

    2. At the command prompt, enter the following command, and then press Enter:netsh int ip reset c:\resetlog.txt--

    AND



    I would suggest you to update the drivers for the network adapter.

    Steps update the drivers for the network adapter.

    Refer the following steps.


    • Click Start and type devmgmt.msc, and then Enter. The Device Manager window opens.

      b) Expand Network Adapter.

      c) Right click on the wireless network card and select Uninstall.

      d) Restart the computer. Windows should now install the drivers itself.

      e) Update the drivers in the same way but by selecting Update driver.
    AND

    Flushed and Renewed DNS

    AND

    Disabled DNS Server on my router

  3. windows 10 wifi networks list appears beyond the upper limit of the screen.

    in windows 10, every time i click the wifi icon in the taskbar, the wifi networks list appear but every time there's networks names that is listed but not appear as it present beyond the upper limit of the screen and i must decrease the font size of the
    list by zooming out by 2 fingers to make the hidden networks names come down and see it. but sometimes also, when there's so many networks ,it become impossible to make these networks names come down. what's the solution?

    WiFi windows 10 limited, no internet connection

    Hi,

    Based on the connection status that you received, most likely your computer did not receive a valid IP address from your WiFi network. It could be that a static IP address was assigned or an Invalid IP address was received. For us to determine why your new
    notebook is getting a limited connection, we suggest checking its IP settings. Follow the steps below:

    • Right-click the Windows key, then select Command Prompt (Admin).
    • On the Command Prompt window, type in ipconfig/all, then hit
      Enter.

    Please take a screenshot of the result so we can have a closer look at it.

    Looking forward to your reply.

    Regards.
