    Why is Ethernet connecting via my guest network?


    Win 10 home, 64-bit on HP Laptop. just upgraded from Win 8.1.

    I have a 2.4MHz Network with a Guest account.
    My network shows up in wifi as eg. ssidname-2G and ssidname-2G-guest. I can log in and use either of these connections to successfully connect to the Internet. No issues there.

    My Ethernet NW adapter (when in use) always shows as being connected via the ssidname-2G-guest connection. This worries me as the guest connections as I understand it are inhibited from accessing certain system functions.

    Can I change the connection Ethernet connects on to ssidname-2g ?

    I don't believe the W10 upgrade created this situation- I think it was probably always like that.

    I don't recall specifically assigning it to the guest account and am worried it may mean I am not getting access to full system functions.

    Appreciate any help. Thanks.

    :)

  2. Ethernet always connects to guest network

    Hello. I am having an issue with my computer's internet connection. My computer is hardwired via Powerline and Ethernet, and there is another computer that is hardwired into the router, and that computer connects to the main network. However, when I am
    hardwired via Powerline and Ethernet, my computer automatically connects to the guest network instead of the main network. Is there anything I can do to fix it? Thanks.

  3. Ethernet always connects to guest network

    #1: It doesn't look like I am connected to a domain. I will put a screenshot of my system (I blacked out my System ID and PC Name for protection)

    #2: I'm not getting any error. It's just that my Desktop PC is connected to the router via Powerline and Ethernet and I want it to connect to the main network, but it connects to the guest network instead, and I cannot change it because it is hardwired.

    UPDATE: I have tried connecting my Laptop via Ethernet to my router and it connects to the main network, which is what I want it to, but when I connect my Desktop to the router via Powerline and Ethernet, it connects to the guest network, and because it
    is hardwired, I cannot change it manually to the main network. My guess is it has something to do with My Desktop PC or the Powerline configuration.

    Why is Ethernet connecting via my guest network?

    Looks like it may be a nothing.. I turned off that Guest network (which is a wireless network) in my router and my Ethernet still connects to the internet and works correctly.

    For some odd reason, it seems my Ethernet adapter just decided to use that name.

    All very confusing *Sad
