Windows 10: Wifi+ win10= death of me

Sorry to hear you are having trouble again
On hard drive cant help you as I have laptop and using a hard drive out of another laptop that I brought an adapater for.
Also I transfer my photo's to an external A drive and keep them on a floppy and also CD disc.

 

Thanks, okay. I'll try reinstalling Windows again if it helps, tomorrow, if I find an external hard drive. I have one but I used it with my old iMac and my current laptop tried to clean all my previous photos from the hard drive off. I do t know why it does that but can't risk having years of photos being wiped away just because this computer can't handle it. I'm also considering taking this to the repairs but that will take 6 weeks and it's December so 8 weeks at minimum so it's not very alluring option.

 

I just updated to the new windows 10 update where it adjusts wifi settings. Instead of saying connected or disconnected under the wifi name now it says "no internet, secured" it only says no internet at school on the schools wifi (works fine at home) The school wifi needs a username and password... Anyone know whats wrong?

 

It means if you want to use the school internet you will have to see if they will give you the code which could be username and password as their Wi-Fi is locked.
If they wont give it to you then there is nothing you can do except perhaps get a dongle and use it that way.
My one at home is secured to stop others from using it and all passwords are entered on all our systems so they can connect.

 

My wifi actually says that too. No internet connection, secured. Yellow question mark thing on the wifi sign.

 

Normally a yellow triangle which means you have limited connection.
If you have signed in and you are still getting it check your router to make sure all lights are green.
It could be to do with who you get your internet from they could be having trouble with their line.
Also check to make sure your drivers are up to date

 

Okay, I've now updated drivers, none of the wifi related drivers needed updating though. now it says that one or more web protocols are missing? It also says its unable to fix the problem.

 

Some other members are having same problem as you are now
Read through this link it may help you
After 1155 build upgrade/system reset..... missing network protocols - Windows 10 Forums

 

Thanks for the link. It seems my internet is completely out of use now.

 

Sorry about that I am afraid I myself have run out of ideas

 

Well I got a lot of good ideas I hadn't realised myself so I'm closer to the answer *Biggrin
I reinstalled Windows again and it seems I have Internet for now. I also found out my computer keeps shutting down the Internet on itself so I went to connection, opened the connection info, properties, then on the upper bar it says eg. Realtek wireless lan among other stuff, press the button below that which unfortunately I have no clue what it means in English..something like...define..it opens a new window and at the furthers right there's power management or something like that..it had a feature on " let computers hut down this utility save energy" or something like that, I click it off and I'm now waiting to see results. Net is still super slow but at least I got it back

 

Network Protocols (scroll down for simby;s post)



Simby's post to disable netbios solved my issue with limited/slow internet. (last 24 hrs at least)

 

Torre, thanks for the tip. My computer was working fine again yesterday but today I woke up to protocols not found.. I reverted the router again..now it works again..I have only wireless connection so I did t quite undertake how simby s advice would work for me..plus I didn't even find the bios disable setting things *Sad

 

Ive been resetting the router every 2 hours for it to work. I guess I need to buy a new router too. But I figured I shouldn't actually need it. The modem thing has a wireless option, which is bad, but I have some internet with it on my phone.

 

To find the BIOS settings Control Panel/NetworkSharing/ChangeAdapterSettings/Click on wifi connection/Select Properties and then follow the instructions in the link.

However, my issue with limited/slow internet reoccurred.

Probably not your router. My ISP sent me a new modem to no avail. You may want to visit the site of your computer manufacturer. They may have some tips.
