Windows 10: win10 wireless tools connect the WIFI network fail via WPS when there are multiple...

My home wireless network use Netgear Orbi WIFI system.The Netgear Orbi WIFI system is WIFI mesh system, so all wireless SSID and passphrase are same. the wireless encryption is WPA2-PSK. As the following:




1. Firstly I use Win10 wireless tools to scan the openair network info and select my wirless SSID.



2. When I select my network SSID and windows reminder "You can also connect by pushing the button on the router"



3. So I press my router WPS button, waiting for a moment, the windows promtp the wifi connection is fail and ask me input the WIFI security key manually.




In my test, I found if only have one router WIFI SSID, this issue won't happen. While some routers WIFI SSID existed, the issue happen easily.

Win7 also have same phenomenon.

I use Android phone don't this issue.

Multiple network/dsl connections??

You could connect to multiple networks and use each network for a seperate task, though there would be a fair bit of setup involved.... but it would pay off (my prototypign box is setup on 3 networks *Smile

 

Losing network connection

Hello Dear, if you have a laptop or a PC with a wireless network adapter, you can see a list of available wireless networks and then connect to one of those networks. The wireless networks will only appear if your PC has a wireless network adapter installed, the adapter is turned on, and the wireless access point is in range.

1. Click Start, click Control Panel, click Network and Internet Connections, and then click Network Connections.

2. In the left pane, under Network Tasks, click View available wireless networks.
In case, If you don't see the network you want to connect to, click Refresh network list. If you see the network but the signal is weak, move the PC closer to the wireless router.

3. Click the network you want to connect to, and then click Connect.

4. If you're connecting to a secure network, type the security key, and then click OK.

I Hope you solve out your query soon.

 

Unable to print to a network printer when connected to both wireless and wired networks

Hi Eileen,

• As far as i'm aware nothing has changed
• i have only tried to send test pages to the network printer so im assuming so yes
• wireless printer works fine when connected to both networks. However the wifi doesn't connect auto when an Ethernet connection is established this has to be manually connected.

I have tried the following:

• updated the print driver
• changed the network port it was plugged into
• ran windows updates
• configured with a static
• changed the wifi and Ethernet priority

I will run through the trouble shoot steps as suggest and come back to you.

FYI - he has a number of extenders dotted around, a collegue mentioned it could be a subnet issue?

thanks, Ben
