Wi-Fi Settings in Windows 10
Wi-Fi has been around for a while now and so have
the settings that help us connect. However, with
the release of Windows 10, there is a whole new
set of different Wi-Fi settings to get used to.
Fortunately, these settings are simple to
understand and use unlike past iterations of
Windows might have been. In fact, it may be
easier now to adjust settings, and connect to
Wi-Fi than it ever has been.

STEP 1
Open the new Settings menu. Windows 10 features
a new, simplified Settings menu. You can access
it from Start gtgt Settings. You should now see a
series of nine different categories.

STEP 2 Click the Network Internet option
from the list given. You should see a new page
with a series of five or six different menu
options down the left-hand side of the window.

STEP 4
There should now be a series of blue squares
running down the page. Inside these squares is a
standard Wi-Fi icon depicting the connection
strength you have to that network. Select the
network you are looking for by single-clicking
it. You should see a box appear under the
selected network. Inside this should be a
checkbox that says Connect automatically to the
right of it. Check this box if you would like to
automatically connect to this network from now
on, when you are in range of it.

STEP 5
Enter the network security key in the box
provided. If you dont know the key, you will
need to obtain from the network
administrator. Below this should be a box that
says Share network with my contacts to the
right of it. If you would like to do this, go
ahead and check it. Please note that this will
only work with contacts associated with your
Microsoft account. Click Next to continue.

STEP 6
Make your device discoverable, or not. You will
then need to decide whether you would like to
have your current device be discoverable by other
PCs and devices on the network you're connecting
to. This would allow users to have a certain
amount of access to your PC. If you are
connecting to a private network at home or work,
you should be able to do this safely. However,
with public networks, this option may be unsafe.
Click either the Yes or No buttons to
continue.

STEP 7
Check your connection. Whenever you connect to a
new network, you want to make sure that
everything is working the way that it is supposed
to. On your Start bar, you should see a series of
icons listed to the left of the time. You are
looking for a standard Wi-Fi icon like you saw
earlier, but in this new area.
Click once, and you should see that the top
listed Wi-Fi network is the one you have
connected to.
