Windows 10: Trying to change Wi Fi Adapter properties to improve speed.

I have reently uodated to full fibre and the new router properties shows it’ Wi-Fi 5 802.11ac 5 GHz.My chrome book is getting speeds of 700mbs but the laptop is only getting around 180mbs. I expected it to be slower, I have a lot more apps on the laptop but I expected to see around 300mbs. My adapter is a Realtek 8822CE wireless Lan 8021 11ac PCI- E NIC. The properties advanced tab show the settings to be 801 11g and the value set to Enabled. I tried to change it to Wireless mode lEEE 802.11a/n/ac but it always reverts to the original setting. I bought a dongle but the only shows

Trouble Changing Wi-Fi Password


I've been following the following steps to change my Wi-Fi password for some time:

1. Launch Control Panel.
2. Click "Network and Internet."
3. Click "Network and Sharing Center."
4. Click "Wi-Fi...."
5. Click "Wireless Properties."
6. Click the Security tab.
7. Check "Show characters."
8. Enter the password in "Network security key."

Those steps have been working just fine, but today I discovered a new wrinkle. If I change the password inside the router first, "Wi-Fi..." doesn't appear in step 4. This isn't much of a problem at home, because I can just change the password in Control Panel before I change it inside the router, but it would be a problem at a public hotspot, or something of that nature. I also tested Brink's instructions in "How to Connect To a Wireless Network in Windows 10," but they don't work for me either. How can I fix this?

 

USB Wi-Fi Adapter Disabling

Is it on Windows 8's compatibility list (check MS website- forgot link)?

I had an issue with one Wi-fi adapter and it wasn't listed as compatible- All was well when I swapped it out with one on the compatibility list

 

Automatically switch on to stronger Wi-Fi connection

Hi Joe,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



This could be achieved by enabling the Roaming Aggressiveness
for your Wi-Fi adapter. Roaming Aggressiveness alters the signal strength threshold at which your Wi-Fi adapter starts scanning for another candidate AP. I suggest you to try the steps listed below and check if it works.

• Right click the Windows icon on the taskbar and choose
  Device Manager.
  
• Expand Network Adapters and right click on your
  Wi-Fi adapter.
  
• Choose Properties and click on
  Advanced tab.
  
• Under Property, click on Roaming Aggressiveness
  and on the right pane set it to the highest value.
  
• Exit Device Manager and try automatic connection to see if it works.
  

Let us know how it goes.

Regards,
