  1. Viewing the password for currently connected Wifi networks


    Is the a way to view the password for the wifi network I am already connected to? I signed off the network with my cell phone, cannot remember the password, and would like to avoid bothering the person who knows it. My laptop is connected to the network, but I can't seem to find a place where it would display the password?

    :)

    "Can't connect to this network."


    I just bought a wifi card for my windows 10 desktop (a tp-link archer t8e) and cannot connect to my network.

    I have the wifi icon on the tray, I can get a list of available networks but after entering the wpa key for my network it just shows the message "Can't connect to this network."

    Network diagnosis just suggested connecting to a wifi network (why didn't I think of that...), does anyone here have any clue as to what the problem could be?

    UPDATE: Just noticed that the wifi adapter is being disabled briefly just after I enter the network password, no idea what's going on.

    Kick or Ban who is connected with my internet ?


    You should still be able to use NavyLCDR's second step without changing the WiFi password.

    Viewing the WIFI network password in Windows 10

    There's some instruction how to do it
    here.


    Basically though, the wifi password can still be viewed via the network properties. I used to find it by right-clicking on my wifi connections and going to properties, but that feature appears to be gone.

    Right click on your wifi symbol and select Open Network and Sharing Center. Then left-click on your active connection to open the Wireless Network Connection Status window. There you will see the Wireless Properties button. Click on that and you will see
    the password (after you unhide it).
