Windows 10: Manually connect to wireless network not showing

I’m trying to manually connect my desktop to WiFi. I looked up the steps to do this on google and they tell me to go to network and sharing center, and then click “Set up a new connection or network.” After this I am supposed to click on “Manually connect to wireless network.” But this option is not showing up. Does anyone know how to fix this or what is wrong? Thanks for the help.

Change Wireless Network Connection Priority Order in Windows 10


Hello Denis,

The command in step 2 of Option Two should show your wireless networks listed in priority order. Top of the list is higher.

 

Losing network connection

Hello Dear, if you have a laptop or a PC with a wireless network adapter, you can see a list of available wireless networks and then connect to one of those networks. The wireless networks will only appear if your PC has a wireless network adapter installed, the adapter is turned on, and the wireless access point is in range.

1. Click Start, click Control Panel, click Network and Internet Connections, and then click Network Connections.

2. In the left pane, under Network Tasks, click View available wireless networks.
In case, If you don't see the network you want to connect to, click Refresh network list. If you see the network but the signal is weak, move the PC closer to the wireless router.

3. Click the network you want to connect to, and then click Connect.

4. If you're connecting to a secure network, type the security key, and then click OK.

I Hope you solve out your query soon.

 

Computer connected to a wireless network doesn't appear on the network

I had a wireless network, call it NW1, set up for sharing files between a desktop and a laptop, but something has gone wrong. The laptop shows it is connected to the network, and a file listing of "Network" shows the laptop with its "Network Location" shown as NW1, as expected. However the desktop is *not* shown in the listing.

The desktop shows it is connected to two networks: NW1, shown as a WiFi network, and NW2, shown as an ethernet connection. Under NW1 properties, it shows that it is set to "Connect automatically when in range" and that the network is Private. A file listing of "Network" shows only my wireless router with its "Network location" shown as NW2. It does not show either the desktop or the laptop or anything else with "Network location" of NW1.

How can I get my desktop to recognize NW1?
