Windows 10: why cant i connect to a wireless LAN manually???

i recently got a new pc, windows 10, and on the 'Network and Sharing Center' it doesnt even show the option to connect to a Wi-Fi network manually?!! it only shows 3 options which are 'Connect to the Internet' broadband or dial up with an ethernet or such; 'Set up a new network' with a router or access point; 'Connect to a workppace' which is dial up or VPN. so what do i do now?? my pc wont even show wireless network list because its asking me to change 'Network & Internet settings' but then it doesnt even have the right option for me to do so??!

Wired LAN connection and USB wireless connection?

Would connecting my desktop using the usual 10/100 LAN cable and a USB wireless N adapter yield better internet speeds?

Wired LAN connection and USB wireless connection?

You might be able to bridge the connections, but I'll leave that to one of the network gurus to sort out.

If you have a wireless N router, you might be better off just using the wireless USB connection. It will depend on a variety of factors.

Your cabling might be able to handle data rates much higher then what they are technically rated for, so I wouldn't assume that you're limited to 100baseT. It will depend partly on the cabling and partly on the router.

However even in that case, if your main concern is internet access, that obviously is limited by your ISP. The odds you have something that is 100mbps or higher are pretty slim. But if your main concern is transporting data over your lan, then you should get better than 100mbps speeds over your existing cabling - assuming that the router is rated for higher speeds.

Wireless N speeds also depend on the router and the dongle. Here is a list of the various data rates you can get with wireless N. As you will see from that link, they can vary from as little as 6.5 to as much as 600mbps.
