  1. Why doesn't my PC let me connect to the Wi-Fi via Password?


    I was running Windows 7 before and for some reason, the OS won't allow me to access available Wi-Fi connections via entering a security key. Now that I am in Windows 10, it still won't let me access wireless Wi-Fis by just using the password. This is the only thing that shows up in my screen and that I am forced to use an Ethernet cable. Is there any way to fix this?

    :)

  2. 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?

    Why doesn't my PC let me connect to the Wi-Fi via Password?

    Windows 10 laptop is connected to the Wi-Fi, but don't give me the opportunity to enter a password.

    Hi,

    I suggest you to follow the below steps to delete the connected Wi-Fi device and try adding it again.


    • Type View Network Connections in the search bar and click on the same.

    • If your Wi-Fi device is listed, right-click on the device and click on
      Delete.

    • Now, try connecting to the Wi-Fi and check if it prompts for the password.

    Hope this helps. Keep us updated with the issue to assist you further.

    Thank you.
