  1. WIFI slows down, returns to normal after "forgetting Network Connection"


    Hey Everyone,I´m having a problem with my internet in the past month, with no luck finding the solution so far...My internet speed wifi in my Lenovo ThinkPad is usually around 300Mbps for Download and Upload. Then sundenly drops to around 15 to 20Mbps and stays like that.If I go to "My known Networks", make it forget my Wifi connection and then connect again, the speed is back to 300Mbps! It then lasts from a couple of hours to a day, then it slows down again.Important things to notice:- I checked and all drivers are updated- This issue only happens in this computer. My personal laptop, my w

    Windows won't forget WiFi network

    I have 3 old Wifi networks that I want to get rid of in the list of networks. All devices show them in the WiFi list and when i click Forget, they come right back. When I go to Manage networks in Settings, they're not there, but still show in the list on every device. How can I get rid of them?

    Windows Version 10.0.19042 Build 19042
    The first image is the list of networks. I want to remove the Blackwellhome ones. The second is obviously the Manage Networks in Settings.

  3. Forget a WiFi Network

    Hi Jess,

    Windows 10 saves a list of Wi-Fi networks you connect to along with their passwords and other settings. If you want to manage or delete a certain network, just follow the steps provided below:

    • Type Settings on the search box.
    • Click Network & Internet.
    • Click Wi-Fi on the left pane of the Network & Internet window.
    • Click Manage Wi-Fi settings.
    • Select the network name and click Forget.

    Note: Since you can't remember the network name you've connected with, you can consider forgetting all saved Wi-Fi networks on your PC.

    Let us know how it goes.

    WIFI slows down, returns to normal after "forgetting Network Connection"

    Want to forget a WIFI connection, but the "forget" option is not there

    Hi all

    I needed to change my password at uni (every six months is the policy).

    Usually, on my personal laptop then, I forget the uni wifi network, and rejoin with the new password.

    But this time... the "Forget" option is not there to select... so I am stuck. When I click the wifi button on the bottom right on the dock-thing, then click on "Manage wifi connections", then right click on the network... well, "Forget" is not listed as an option to choose. The only option listed is "Connect"... which fails, of course, as my password is incorrect.

    (I'd include screenshots in here, but every time I try I get the message "File(s) failed to upload", and no explanation given as to why. Grrr.)

    The "Forget" option appears for other wifi connections (e.g., my phone's personal hotspot, which I have been using instead...).

    Further: if I go to Windows Settings, then Manage Known Networks... the uni network does not even appear in the list to Forget that way... though it does appear listed in the Known Networks (again, screenshots)

    What's going on? More importantly... how do I fix it, and forget the wifi network?

    (I have contacted my university help (twice), but almost two weeks later, there has not been a reply.)

    P.
