    Wi-Fi geolocation is not working


    On my computer, if I attempt to use Windows location services via the "Allow <site> to access your location?" pop-up, or via the Maps app, it will always show me as being in the default location defined in Windows Settings which seems to be set to this specific location in Boydton, VA by default, probably because it's near the data center, as opposed to my actual location which is within an hour or so of Boston, MA. When attempting to use the "locate me" button on Bing Maps, I get a pop-up saying "We could not retrieve your exact location, but think you may be in this area". This i

  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?

    Hi,

    • A pop-up will appear, click on the “Next” button and your hardware troubleshooting will start.

    Method 2: The issue may occur if the drivers for Wi-fi are not installed or updated. I suggest you to install/update the latest version for Wi-fi drivers by following the steps below.
