Windows 10: Why can't I find the "Network Address" in the property section of my wifi configurationI...

Is there a way that tab can appear?

'Network Address' property not displaying for wireless adapter

If you go to the "Device Manager" control panel window, and open the 'Network Adapters' drop down, there is a list of different Network Adapters. My goal was to change the MAC address on my wireless adapter that I use to connect to the wifi. You can do
this by displaying the properties of a network adapter in the list. When I open up the 'advanced' tab in the properties window, only 4 properties show up, none of which allow me to change my mac address, however I am able to change my mac address of the computer
itself, but this does nothing.

 

WiFi adapter DNS address not updated

Hi. At work today I configured a WiFi connection using a static IP address, including a static DNS address (I'm a programmer). This is saved in my list of known networks. I have another 'known network' for connecting at home which is set to DHCP. When
I connected at home this evening, the DNS server I specified earlier is being used. When I open the adapter settings and open IPv4 properties, it is set to obtain address automatically.

I can specify my router's IP address as the DNS server in the IPv4 properties, which works, but I can't do this in the saved WiFi connection, as I cannot specify DHCP and assign a static DNS address.

How can I get Windows to use a static address for one network and auto assigned addresses for a different network?

Thanks!

 

No wifi networks Windows 10

Hello Pete,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

I understand that you are not able to connect to a wifi network after upgrading to Windows 10.
We appreciate your efforts in troubleshooting the issue and providing us the detailed information about the issue.

This issue may occur if unsupported VPN software is installed in Windows 8.1 and is present during the upgrade to Windows 10. Older software versions contain a filter driver (the Deterministic Network Enhancer) that is not upgraded
correctly.

Method 1:


Registry disclaimer: Important this section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems might occur if you modify the
registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you follow these steps carefully. For added protection, back up the registry before you modify it. Then, you can restore the registry if a problem occurs.

Please take a backup of the registry. Follow the steps given in the link below:

I suggest you refer and follow the steps mentioned in the KB article and check if it resolves the issue

to Windows 10

Method 2: Make sure your router is set to broadcast the network name.

• 
  
  1. Connect your PC to the router using an Ethernet cable.
     
  2. Open a web browser and type the IP address for your wireless router. (For example, 192.168.1.1 or 172.16.0.0—check the documentation for your router to find the default IP address.)
     
  3. Sign in with your user name and password, then make sure an option labeled Enable SSID Broadcast, Wireless SSID broadcast, or
     something similar is turned on. This setting is often on a Wireless Settings page.
