<p>Hello! Every time we connect to a Wi-Fi network, Windows creates a log with all the passwords of the access points (SSID). This way, you can connect automatically when available. Also, without having to enter the password again. The operation of Windows in this sense is the same as in any other operating system. That is, both desktop (Linux and macOS) and mobile devices. But what happens to Wi-Fi passwords if we change computers or format the computer? Prior to this, we must make a backup of all the access points to which we have previously connected. This way, we avoid having to enter them manually every time we want to connect. Here, we will see how to back up Wi-Fi passwords on <a href="https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Windows.</a></p>



<h2>Windows stores passwords in our account</h2>



<p>There is really no need to save Wi-Fi passwords when you plan to format your hard disk or change your computer. With the release of Windows 8, Microsoft began to implement the integration of the operating system with the user account. In this way, Microsoft wanted to make it easier to interact with devices in the future. The main advantage of this change is with respect to the Microsoft Store. Thanks to this integration, we could access a list of applications that we had previously downloaded. In fact, these had already been associated with our account.</p>



<p>Subsequently, Microsoft also started to associate the hardware of the device with the license. In this way, we could only use the corresponding license on a single device. That is, we could not use it on different computers together. As Windows evolves, Microsoft has been introducing a series of hidden improvements. One of them is being able to store in the Microsoft cloud a copy of all the Wi-Fi networks we have connected to in the past. It is enough to associate a Windows installation to our account. No matter if it is a new computer or a formatted one. As a result, the list with all the access points and the passwords for each of them will be automatically downloaded. Therefore, it will not be necessary to enter the access data again.</p>



<h2>Is there anything else we should do?</h2>



<p>Remember that this process is done automatically when you enter the data. So there is really no need for any further action on our part. In the same way, the new access points to which we connect are automatically synchronized. Therefore, if we delete any of them, they will also be automatically deleted from the Microsoft servers. This also happens on all computers that are managed by the same Microsoft account, even if they are different computers.</p>



<h2>How to know the password of a Wi-Fi network</h2>



<p>Windows provides a couple of methods to learn stored Wi-Fi passwords.</p>



<h3>From settings</h3>



<p>From <strong>Windows Settings,</strong> we will only be able to know the password of the currently connected network. In fact, there is no option to know the password of all the access points we have stored on our computer. To obtain the password of the Wi-Fi network in which we are, we access the Windows configuration options by pressing Win+I.</p>



<p>Once there, we entered <strong>Network &amp; Internet</strong>. Within this section, click on Wi-Fi. Then, in the right column, click on <strong>Network and Sharing Center.</strong></p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="787" src="https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/wifi-1024x787.png" alt="" class="wp-image-37249" srcset="https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/wifi-1024x787.png 1024w, https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/wifi-300x231.png 300w, https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/wifi-768x590.png 768w, https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/wifi-696x535.png 696w, https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/wifi-1068x821.png 1068w, https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/wifi.png 1280w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<p>Next, the <strong>Windows Control Panel</strong> will be displayed. Specifically, in the section corresponding to the networks. In this section, click on the name of the connection to access its properties.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="787" src="https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/wifi2-1024x787.png" alt="" class="wp-image-37250" srcset="https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/wifi2-1024x787.png 1024w, https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/wifi2-300x231.png 300w, https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/wifi2-768x590.png 768w, https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/wifi2-696x535.png 696w, https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/wifi2-1068x821.png 1068w, https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/wifi2.png 1280w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<p>Then, a new window will be displayed. There we will see the operation, connection type, speed, and duration of the Wi-Fi connection in which we are. In this window, click on <strong>Wireless Properties.</strong></p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" width="363" height="450" src="https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/wifi3.png" alt="" class="wp-image-37251" srcset="https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/wifi3.png 363w, https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/wifi3-242x300.png 242w" sizes="(max-width: 363px) 100vw, 363px" /></figure>



<p>Next, we click on the <strong>Security</strong> tab and check the box Show characters. At that moment, Windows will ask us for the security method that we use in our account to be able to show it. If we do not know it, Windows will not show us the password of the network to which the equipment is connected.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" width="375" height="499" src="https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/wifi4.png" alt="" class="wp-image-37252" srcset="https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/wifi4.png 375w, https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/wifi4-225x300.png 225w" sizes="(max-width: 375px) 100vw, 375px" /></figure>



<p>A network, with or without internet access, is the only method of sharing files and resources between devices. Any person who has access to the network has access to all that content. For this simple reason, Windows will ask for the PIN of the user account in which we are. Otherwise, we will be able to use the command prompt or the PowerShell, as we will see next.</p>



<h2>Using Command Prompt</h2>



<p>If you do not have access credentials to the computer, then you can resort to the command prompt. In addition, this option allows us to know the password of all the access points registered on the computer. Remember that this possibility is not available from the Windows graphical interface. The first thing you have to do is to go to the command prompt. With this in mind, enter the term CMD in the Windows search button. Please remember to open it with administrator privileges. Next, we use the following command to list all the Wi-Fi networks to which we have connected with the computer and with that user account.</p>



<pre class="wp-block-preformatted">netsh wlan show profile</pre>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" width="979" height="512" src="https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/wifi5.png" alt="" class="wp-image-37253" srcset="https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/wifi5.png 979w, https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/wifi5-300x157.png 300w, https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/wifi5-768x402.png 768w, https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/wifi5-696x364.png 696w" sizes="(max-width: 979px) 100vw, 979px" /></figure>



<p>Next, we must select the name of the Wi-Fi connection for which we want to know the password. Then please use the following command. Please replace <em>wifiname</em> with the name of the access point. The Wi-Fi network code will be displayed under <strong>Key content.</strong></p>



<pre class="wp-block-preformatted">Netsh wlan show profile name="wifiname" key=clear</pre>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="787" src="https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/wifi6-1024x787.png" alt="" class="wp-image-37255" srcset="https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/wifi6-1024x787.png 1024w, https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/wifi6-300x231.png 300w, https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/wifi6-768x590.png 768w, https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/wifi6-696x535.png 696w, https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/wifi6-1068x821.png 1068w, https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/wifi6.png 1280w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<p>We must carry out this process individually. In other words, we cannot create a list of all the passwords of the access points to which we have connected. In fact, we will have to do it one by one. Very well, in this way we have seen how to back up <a href="https://www.osradar.com/how-to-check-wifi-signal-strength-in-windows-10/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Wi-Fi </a>passwords on Windows.

<p>Hello! Do you want to improve the security and control of your wireless network usage? Learn about the security and parental control features that will help you make sure that everyone can surf safely and without abuse. You probably already know. In fact, change the router&#8217;s default password to a secure password, update the firmware periodically. In addition to renewing, routers that have become obsolete in terms of security are common recommendations. However, the latest routers include additional protection features that you may not be aware of. In addition, they can help you keep everyone at home surfing safely and rationally. Read on to learn 10 tricks to secure your <a href="https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/wireless/what-is-wifi.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Wi-Fi.</a></p>



<h2>Uses next-generation WPA3 encryption</h2>



<p>All routers allow the use of encryption systems that protect the data packets transmitted on the Wi-Fi network. On the other hand, these standards evolve. Consequently, the older your router is, the more obsolete the encryption method it uses will be. The most current encryption technology is WPA3. This is a new security protocol that is only available on the latest wireless devices.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="1024" src="https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/wifi-1024x1024.png" alt="" class="wp-image-37073" srcset="https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/wifi-1024x1024.png 1024w, https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/wifi-300x300.png 300w, https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/wifi-150x150.png 150w, https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/wifi-768x768.png 768w, https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/wifi-1536x1536.png 1536w, https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/wifi-2048x2048.png 2048w, https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/wifi-696x696.png 696w, https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/wifi-1068x1068.png 1068w, https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/wifi-1920x1920.png 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<p>This new standard offers better protection against so-called <em>brute force attacks</em>. It also protects against the use of common password lists. Remember that these are two of the techniques most commonly used by cybercriminals to try to breach the security of wireless networks. The first Wi-Fi devices with WPA3 are already on the market. In addition, this encryption is also included by default in all Wi-Fi 6-compatible devices. However, there are still many devices that use the previous WPA2 encryption system, and this represents a problem.</p>



<p>To ensure backward compatibility, manufacturers such as AVM offer simultaneous support for WPA2 and WPA3 modes in their environment. So if you buy a WPA3 router to replace your old router, your existing WPA2 wireless devices will continue to work the same way. A strong password is a good measure to secure Wi-Fi.</p>



<h2>Do not open ports in your router&#8217;s firewall.</h2>



<p>For security, the latest generation routers have an integrated firewall. If properly configured, the firewall automatically inspects the data packets received by the router. In this way, it can reject suspicious or unsolicited packets. Additionally, it hides network devices from being visible from the Internet by IP masquerading. It also closes all ports that allow penetration of the local network from the Internet.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="832" src="https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/wifi2-1024x832.png" alt="" class="wp-image-37074" srcset="https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/wifi2-1024x832.png 1024w, https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/wifi2-300x244.png 300w, https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/wifi2-768x624.png 768w, https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/wifi2-1536x1248.png 1536w, https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/wifi2-696x566.png 696w, https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/wifi2-1068x868.png 1068w, https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/wifi2.png 1600w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<p>Generally, these functions are included in the default configuration of router firewalls. However, protection can be reduced if you modify the settings. For this reason, you must be very vigilant. Some games, applications and online services ask you to open certain firewall ports to access their services. Indeed, these changes could leave your network vulnerable to attacks.</p>



<h2>Disable the WPS function of your router.</h2>



<p>WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) is a standard promoted by the Wi-Fi Alliance to facilitate the creation of WLANs. Routers that support it have a WPS button. This makes it easy for new devices to connect to your wireless network by simply pressing it.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" width="768" height="1024" src="https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/wifi3-768x1024.png" alt="" class="wp-image-37075" srcset="https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/wifi3-768x1024.png 768w, https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/wifi3-225x300.png 225w, https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/wifi3-1152x1536.png 1152w, https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/wifi3-696x928.png 696w, https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/wifi3-1068x1424.png 1068w, https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/wifi3.png 1200w" sizes="(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px" /></figure>



<p>This is very convenient, but it also has security implications. Routers with poorly implemented WPS are more vulnerable to external intrusion. So if you are looking for maximum security, it is better not to use it. Especially if you suspect that an outsider may be trying to access your Wi-Fi. Disabling the WPS function is done by accessing your router&#8217;s firmware. The steps may vary depending on the model of equipment you have. However, it is usually done from the security settings menu. Note that most new routers are shipped with WPS enabled by default. Therefore, take the opportunity to disable it during installation.</p>



<h2>An app to control who connects</h2>



<p>Many routers allow you to see who is connected to your wireless network by accessing the <a href="https://www.osradar.com/how-to-access-the-settings-of-your-wifi-router-from-android/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">firmware.</a> It&#8217;s certainly not always easy. Or worse, you don&#8217;t have time to look at it every day. One solution is to use a mobile wireless network monitoring application. Preferably one that shows at all times which devices are connected.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" width="540" height="516" src="https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/wifi4.png" alt="" class="wp-image-37076" srcset="https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/wifi4.png 540w, https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/wifi4-300x287.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 540px) 100vw, 540px" /></figure>



<p>This way, you can detect potential free-riders who want free internet. You can also detect cybercriminals trying to access your wireless network to steal personal or credit card data.</p>



<h2>Block unknown devices</h2>



<p>MAC address filtering is very useful. Indeed, it allows you to detect any unknown device. It also allows you to prevent someone from connecting to your Wi-Fi without permission. This is a feature available on most current routers. Consequently, it allows you to define which devices can connect to your Wi-Fi network. It also blocks all other devices that are not on the list.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="725" src="https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/wifi5-1024x725.png" alt="" class="wp-image-37078" srcset="https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/wifi5-1024x725.png 1024w, https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/wifi5-300x212.png 300w, https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/wifi5-768x544.png 768w, https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/wifi5-696x493.png 696w, https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/wifi5-1068x756.png 1068w, https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/wifi5.png 1277w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<p>However, you should keep in mind that MAC network filtering is only a complementary measure. Indeed, a knowledgeable hacker may be able to clone the Mac address of an authorized device. He could therefore still gain access to your network. You should always use it with a secure Wi-Fi network key. In addition to other protective measures. Without a doubt, this way we can secure the Wi-Fi.</p>



<h2>Set up guest access</h2>



<p>Alternatively, the most advanced routers on the market include a guest Wi-Fi function. This is very practical in this type of situation. It allows you to give temporary access to the wireless network to people you trust. And with a different password than the one you use. You can also set up a public hotspot without a password. </p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" width="852" height="505" src="https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/wifi6.png" alt="" class="wp-image-37079" srcset="https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/wifi6.png 852w, https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/wifi6-300x178.png 300w, https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/wifi6-768x455.png 768w, https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/wifi6-696x413.png 696w" sizes="(max-width: 852px) 100vw, 852px" /></figure>



<p>You can also configure some browsing limitations, such as setting up usage schedules. In addition, you can block access to certain websites. Additionally, it is possible to receive notifications when any of the users connect to the guest network you have created. A good alternative to secure Wi-Fi.</p>



<h2>Store your data in a secure cloud</h2>



<p>The cloud is a very practical invention, but do you know where the information you upload is stored? Your data travels over the Internet to data centers that may be on the other side of the world. This increases the risk of interception. Or even worse, of information being stolen from the servers of the companies that store it. Certainly, not even the best companies are totally safe.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" width="704" height="768" src="https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/wifi7.png" alt="" class="wp-image-37080" srcset="https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/wifi7.png 704w, https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/wifi7-275x300.png 275w, https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/wifi7-696x759.png 696w" sizes="(max-width: 704px) 100vw, 704px" /></figure>



<p>To avoid this, some routers have a USB port. In this way it is possible to connect a storage device and share it over the network. In this way, you can store and access your data from any device in your home or office. Even from outside your home or office, but without the data traveling anywhere. An extra layer of security includes encrypting the backup content in the cloud. This way it will not be accessible to outsiders.</p>



<h2>Set connection time limits</h2>



<p>Young people are &#8216;<em>digital natives&#8217;</em>. If it were up to them, they would spend all day surfing the Internet, playing online video games. As well as chatting with their friends or uploading photos and videos to Instagram. However, this is not always compatible with doing homework or other necessary activities at their age. So limits must be agreed upon.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="683" src="https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/wifi8-1024x683.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-37081" srcset="https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/wifi8-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/wifi8-300x200.jpg 300w, https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/wifi8-768x512.jpg 768w, https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/wifi8-696x464.jpg 696w, https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/wifi8-1068x713.jpg 1068w, https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/wifi8.jpg 1280w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<p>In this regard, modern routers allow you to configure Internet surfing time schedules. It is sufficient to create user profiles and define how long they can connect or in which time slots. We can also assign the devices they can use to surf the Internet.</p>



<h2>Create whitelists of safe websites</h2>



<p>You can also restrict the types of web pages that can be accessed by each user profile or device on your wireless network. This is done through the web filtering functionality offered by most advanced routers. These functions allow you to create <em>white lists</em> of allowed websites. Also <em>black lists</em> of not allowed sites. To configure them, you must enter the names of the sites. Likewise, the domains to which you want to allow or deny access.</p>



<p>This filtering is especially useful to protect the youngsters in the house. That is, to prevent them from accessing inappropriate or dangerous content. We are talking about gambling sites or pornography, for example.</p>



<h2>Turn off the Wi-Fi connection if you are not using it.</h2>



<p>Occasionally, the simplest solution is the most effective. Why not turn off the router&#8217;s wireless connection when you are not using it? Or simply when you don&#8217;t want anyone in the house or office to be able to connect?</p>



<p>In this way, you can prevent misuse or, for example, possible external threats. Another way to switch off the Wi-Fi is to press the WLAN button on the router, which switches the wireless network on and off. Very well, in this way we have seen 10 tricks to secure your Wi-Fi. Goodbye!</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p>Hello! The vast majority of users use <a href="https://www.osradar.com/best-programs-to-view-all-wi-fi-networks-information-on-windows/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Wi-Fi </a> network to connect to the Internet at home. Indeed, we are talking about the fact that these wireless networks are very versatile. Therefore, we will be able to connect with computers, laptops, cell phones, tablets or any device that incorporates a Wi-Fi card. However, in many occasions the coverage we have at home is not optimal. Consequently, we will be able to connect with computers, laptops, cell phones, tablets or any device that incorporates a Wi-Fi card. However, in many occasions the coverage we have at home is not optimal. Consequently, the signal does not reach where we want to connect. Therefore, today we are going to see the 5 obstacles that most affect the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wi-Fi" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Wi-Fi</a> network.</p>



<h2>What are the obstacles to avoid at home?</h2>



<p>There are many obstacles in the home that have almost no effect on Wi-Fi wireless networks. However, there are others that do, and they affect it a great deal. Consequently, these are the elements that should be avoided at all costs.</p>



<h3>Thick doors</h3>



<p>Very thick doors are one of the main enemies of wireless WiFi networks. Logically, if we have doors at home that are too thick, we cannot remove them. However, we can keep them open so that the wireless signal can pass more easily to other rooms. It is very important in these cases to place the WiFi router or WiFi access point as centered in the house as possible. In this way we will be able to provide coverage to all addresses more or less homogeneously. Otherwise, we cannot reach the other side of the house and we will need to use WiFi repeaters, PLC with WiFi or use a WiFi mesh.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" width="356" height="787" src="https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/5.png" alt="" class="wp-image-35796" srcset="https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/5.png 356w, https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/5-136x300.png 136w" sizes="(max-width: 356px) 100vw, 356px" /></figure>



<p>If you have very thick doors in your house, then the best thing to do is to leave them open. On the other hand, if you have the router in one of the corners of the house, then the signal will probably not reach the other side. Consequently, you would have to buy additional equipment. Such doors can attenuate the signal by up to 15dB. In other words, it greatly attenuates the wireless WiFi signal.</p>



<h3>Metal doors</h3>



<p>Another enemy of Wi-Fi is metals. For example, if we have metal doors in our house, we have the same problems as in the case of thick doors. This type of doors can attenuate the signal over 11dB, so it attenuates the wireless signal quite a lot. In these cases, the only thing you can do is to leave the doors open, and follow the same recommendations as in the previous case.</p>



<p>Nowadays, it is quite rare to have metal doors at home. However, it is possible that we do have some fire doors in our home that are usually metal and with special reinforcement of the same. In these cases, we must consider that it will attenuate the wireless Wi-Fi signal quite a lot.</p>



<h3>Concrete or cement walls</h3>



<p>Concrete and cement is another enemy of Wi-Fi. Generally, houses are built with these materials, so the signal can be attenuated up to 12dB if we try to pass through rooms that have walls of this type. For this reason, it is significant to place the Wi-Fi router in a central location and away from nearby obstacles. This way we can have a fairly homogeneous coverage at home.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" width="1000" height="750" src="https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/6.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-35797" srcset="https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/6.jpg 1000w, https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/6-300x225.jpg 300w, https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/6-768x576.jpg 768w, https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/6-696x522.jpg 696w, https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/6-265x198.jpg 265w" sizes="(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px" /></figure>



<p>In a house with plasterboard walls we will notice that the wireless Wi-Fi coverage will be clearly better than in concrete, cement or brick walls. In a house with plasterboard walls we will notice that the wireless Wi-Fi coverage will be clearly better than in concrete, cement or brick walls. Indeed, it takes much less time to install this type of wall than to build a brick wall.</p>



<h3>Glass and mirrors</h3>



<p>Window or door glass, as well as mirrors that we may have around the house and even in the bathroom, are also one of the enemies of Wi-Fi wireless networks.  This type of material greatly attenuates the wireless signal. For this reason, there is usually not much Wi-Fi coverage in bathrooms. In addition, we must also consider that we have the bathroom walls and the corresponding tiling on the walls. So, this is attached to the general painting.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" width="612" height="1024" src="https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/7-612x1024.png" alt="" class="wp-image-35798" srcset="https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/7-612x1024.png 612w, https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/7-179x300.png 179w, https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/7-768x1286.png 768w, https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/7-918x1536.png 918w, https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/7-696x1165.png 696w, https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/7.png 1018w" sizes="(max-width: 612px) 100vw, 612px" /></figure>



<p>You will notice the attenuation by the glass if you have a garden and the Wi-Fi router is located in the living room. As a result, you will quickly notice that the signal received by the Wi-Fi client is clearly lower, and that as soon as you move into the living room the coverage is maximum.</p>



<h3>Windows with glass and metal frames</h3>



<p>Large windows with glass and metal frames are an awful combination for Wi-Fi wireless network coverage. Generally, these elements give access to the garden or patio of the house. If so, you will probably have to install an outdoor Wi-Fi access point. There are now high-end Wi-Fi Mesh systems available that have outdoor Mesh nodes. Their goal is to have the best possible performance.</p>



<p>Very well, in this way we have seen the 5 obstacles that most affect the Wi-Fi network. Therefore, you have more ways to avoid these obstacles and improve your connection. Bye!</p>

<p>Today we will learn what <a href="https://www.osradar.com/how-to-access-the-settings-of-your-wifi-router-from-android/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Wi-Fi </a>bonding, or simply bonding, means. Indeed, this is the sum of two or more networks that, together, allow reaching higher Internet speeds. For a moment, think of a single Wi-Fi network. In this case, the speed will depend on factors such as the location, the access point, the network card we use. As a result, we can sometimes have a better connection with the cell phone browsing with mobile data than over the wireless network. So, it would be a good idea to merge both networks. So, today we will know What is Wi-Fi bonding, and how does it improve your connection?</p>



<h2>What is Bonding?</h2>



<p>Bonding is the process of joining several networks to maximize speed. Bonding is the process of joining numerous networks to maximize speed. For example, a Wi-Fi, 3G, 4G, 5G, etc. network. In this case, they will connect simultaneously and allow us to surf the Internet at a higher speed, further increasing the resources.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" width="500" height="500" src="https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/wi-1.png" alt="" class="wp-image-35180" srcset="https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/wi-1.png 500w, https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/wi-1-300x300.png 300w, https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/wi-1-150x150.png 150w" sizes="(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px" /></figure>



<p>Visualize this. You have a home network with 20 Mbps download. On the other hand, if you do a speed test with your mobile connected to the 4G network, you reach 15 Mbps. Now, if you join both connections, you will achieve a considerable increase in speed. That is the purpose of bonding, by merging the connections.</p>



<p>For this to be possible, it is necessary to have a computer program that allows the connections to be linked. <a href="https://speedify.com/features/channel-bonding/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Speedify </a>is one of the most popular options. It works for operating systems such as Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, or Android.</p>



<p>This multiple connection will only be used in the device where it is configured. Within this equipment, whether it is a mobile or a computer, we will be able to have better speed for downloading files, video streaming, browsing, etc. Any use we are going to give to the connection, and we need a speed improvement.</p>



<p>On the other hand, there is also <a href="https://connectify.me/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Connectify Hotspot.</a> It allows the device to be connected to different networks at the same time. This includes Wi-Fi, 3G, 4G or 5G networks, but also via Ethernet cable. It will turn the device into an access point and has different options and statistics to analyze consumption.</p>



<p>What these applications do is to select the best available network at any given moment. For example, during a download, it alternates from one to another to achieve a higher total speed.</p>



<h2>Splits the connection into small packets</h2>



<p>We continue to scrutinize the operation of this technology. Well, to work properly, what this technology does is to split the connection into small and multiple packets. Let&#8217;s suppose that we are going to play a movie in streaming and our connection is not enough to avoid being cut off. Consequently, by using bonding, you will combine several connections and download those small packets simultaneously and combine them.</p>



<p>This division of packages can be achieved by both hardware and software. However, it is necessary to have a subscription like the ones we have seen. A clear hardware example would be to join two ADSL connections. Of course, this is only cost-effective if it would be cheaper than opting for fiber optics or if we do not have access to this technology and would like to improve the speed.</p>



<h2>Is Wi-Fi Bonding worth it?</h2>



<p>You may wonder if it is currently profitable to use this type of connection. Certainly, connections have improved a lot over the years. So, what was necessary before may not be necessary now. A few years ago, it did make more sense to merge two connections through Bonding. We could even combine different providers or technologies (Wi-Fi and 3G, for example). Especially, because the upload speed was poor. But today, with the advent of fiber optics and improved Internet connections, this is becoming less necessary. However, there are cases in which it is still attractive to use this modality. For example, if you are far away from the access point or the mobile network does not work well. Consequently, you will alternatively use the best option to always have the maximum speed.</p>



<p>In short, Wi-Fi Bonding is an option we have available to attempt to improve Internet speed by combining several connections. For example, you can combine Wi-Fi with mobile data. However, today, with today&#8217;s speeds, it&#8217;s not something that will be too useful for most users.</p>



<h2>Tips to improve Internet speed</h2>



<p>Beyond all this, it is possible to improve the speed of our connection. That is to say, to maximize speed and minimize outages. Let&#8217;s take a look at some tips below.</p>



<h3>Locate the router correctly</h3>



<p>An important tip is to place the router correctly. Ideally, we should place it in a central location in the house, from where it can distribute the signal to the different areas. This way, we will be able to connect from other devices and avoid dead zones as much as possible. However, you can always put it right in the area where you will actually use the connection. This way you will achieve maximum speed if you are going to connect wirelessly. Indeed, there is no point in putting it at one end of the house if you will connect from other areas.</p>



<h3>Choosing the appropriate band</h3>



<p>Wi-Fi networks operate in both the 5 GHz and 2.4 GHz bands. Each of them has its advantages and also negative points. Generally speaking, we can say that the former offers the highest speed, but is more sensitive to possible obstacles and distance. On the other hand, the 2.4 GHz band is the one that will allow us to connect from farther away, although the speed will be lower. It is ideal if we connect from a room where there are obstacles, for example.</p>



<h3>Keeping devices up to date</h3>



<p>Of course, it is significant to always have the equipment properly updated. You must update the firmware of the router, the network card, as well as the device you use. On the one hand, you will achieve an improvement in performance, but also avoid security problems that may appear.</p>



<p>It is essential to update the router, and the truth is that it is something that many users do not consider. But having the latest firmware version allows you to optimize the available resources. In addition, it allows having a noticeable improvement in speed and reduce the risk of suffering annoying outages. Very well, in this way we have seen What is Wi-Fi bonding, and how does it improve your connection. Bye!</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p>Hello! Today, the Internet has become an essential part of our lives. Indeed, a permanent connection to the network is almost essential to use a PC or a phone. The most common way to connect is through a Wi-Fi network. In fact, it makes it possible to have a connection without the need to connect any cables, since everything is done wirelessly. Therefore, if the problem arises that the wireless connection is disconnected randomly, it is possible to cause discomfort. Moreover, this type of connection is becoming more and more popular. Whether for work, study or leisure, it is the most convenient way to stay connected to the Internet. Over time, its signal capacity and speed have increased. As a result, it is no longer necessary to be connected to Ethernet to enjoy a good connection. Stay tuned to find out how to fix <a href="https://www.osradar.com/how-to-check-wifi-signal-strength-in-windows-10/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Wi-Fi</a> disconnect in Windows.</p>



<h2>Causes of Wi-Fi disconnects</h2>



<p>Several Windows users have experienced Wi-Fi connection problems. Certainly, this can happen for a variety of reasons. Therefore, it is a fairly common error. As a result, disconnections occur, making it impossible to access the Internet. This annoying difficulty can occur for numerous reasons. Typically, it is caused by driver difficulties. Indeed, they may be damaged or outdated. Consequently, it is best to have updated drivers to correct errors, compatibility issues, etc. It may also be due to compatibility difficulties with the version of the operating system installed. Therefore, we should always have Windows up to date. Additionally, the power management can cause the failure.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="819" src="https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/wifi.png" alt="" class="wp-image-34542" srcset="https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/wifi.png 1024w, https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/wifi-300x240.png 300w, https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/wifi-768x614.png 768w, https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/wifi-696x557.png 696w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<p>Other causes may be related to too many users connected to the network. Furthermore, when we are out of range of the signal range. As for the hardware, it can be damaged to the connection cables or the modem&#8217;s firmware is outdated. However, in this post, we will focus on software-centric solutions.</p>



<h2>How to solve this problem.</h2>



<p>Next, we are going to see different actions that we can perform to put an end to the problems of random disconnection of our Wi-Fi network.</p>



<h3>Upgrade the network adapter</h3>



<p>As mentioned, this is a common cause of this problem. So, a damaged or outdated driver can impair the stability of the connection. Therefore, it is advisable to always have them at their latest version. This action can be executed from the device manager. The first thing you need to do is to open the device manager. With this in mind, press the Win+X combination and select the corresponding option. Alternatively, you can right-click on the Windows button.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" width="365" height="744" src="https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/wifi2.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-34543" srcset="https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/wifi2.jpg 365w, https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/wifi2-147x300.jpg 147w" sizes="(max-width: 365px) 100vw, 365px" /></figure>



<p>Consequently, you will be redirected to the <strong>device manager.</strong> Consequently, it displays the section corresponding to the network adapters. Then select the Wi-Fi hardware and right-click on it. Please click on <strong>Update driver.</strong> Then choose Automatically search for drivers and let Windows update the drivers.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" width="829" height="733" src="https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/wifi3.png" alt="Upgrading the wireless network adapter driver" class="wp-image-34544" srcset="https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/wifi3.png 829w, https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/wifi3-300x265.png 300w, https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/wifi3-768x679.png 768w, https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/wifi3-696x615.png 696w" sizes="(max-width: 829px) 100vw, 829px" /><figcaption>Upgrading the wireless network adapter driver</figcaption></figure>



<p>Occasionally, Windows cannot install the driver correctly. Consequently, we must perform the procedure manually. Assume that the wireless adapter is manufactured by Intel. Consequently, we must go to their <a href="https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000005489/wireless.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">website </a>and download the corresponding driver. Once the drivers have been downloaded, we go through the above steps again. However, this time opt for manual driver installation.</p>



<h2>Change network profile</h2>



<p>Another reason for these automatic disconnections is related to the fact that a Wi-Fi network is marked as Public instead of Private. Consequently, it is advisable to change the configuration. Keep in mind that the most important thing is to maintain a correct configuration of the network settings. Otherwise, we may face these annoying problems. Consequently, what we will do is to go to the <strong>Windows Settings. </strong>With this in mind, press the Win+I combination. Once there, click on <strong>Update &amp; Security.</strong></p>

<p>In the left menu, select Wi-Fi. Now, in the right column, click on <strong>Manage known networks.</strong></p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full is-style-default"><img loading="lazy" width="899" height="638" src="https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/wifi5.png" alt="Managing Wi-Fi networks" class="wp-image-34547" srcset="https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/wifi5.png 899w, https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/wifi5-300x213.png 300w, https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/wifi5-768x545.png 768w, https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/wifi5-696x494.png 696w" sizes="(max-width: 899px) 100vw, 899px" /><figcaption>Managing Wi-Fi networks</figcaption></figure>



<p>Next we will see the current Wi-Fi connection. Please click on it and select <strong>Properties.</strong></p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" width="630" height="516" src="https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/wifi6.png" alt="" class="wp-image-34548" srcset="https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/wifi6.png 630w, https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/wifi6-300x246.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 630px) 100vw, 630px" /></figure>



<p>Next, we will see several options for configuring the Wi-Fi network. What we must do is to change the profile to <strong>Private.</strong></p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="787" src="https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/wifi7-1024x787.png" alt="Entering the network adapter properties " class="wp-image-34549" srcset="https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/wifi7-1024x787.png 1024w, https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/wifi7-300x231.png 300w, https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/wifi7-768x590.png 768w, https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/wifi7-696x535.png 696w, https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/wifi7-1068x821.png 1068w, https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/wifi7.png 1280w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /><figcaption>Entering the network adapter properties</figcaption></figure>



<p>In this way, we can see how to fix Wi-Fi disconnect in Windows</p>



<h2>Change Power Management</h2>



<p>Another possible cause of this problem may be due to the power management configuration. This may be a system issue. On the other hand, a power saving system may also be the cause. This is especially useful if you have a laptop and want to save energy when you are not using it. However, it can also cause automatic shutdown difficulties. To fix Wi-Fi disconnect in Windows, we can follow the following steps.</p>



<p>Once again, we have to go to the device manager. With this intention, press again the Win+X combination. Once there, again display the network adapters section. Right click again, but this time goes to the <strong>Properties.</strong></p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" width="944" height="539" src="https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/wifi8.png" alt="Changing the network configuration from public to private. " class="wp-image-34550" srcset="https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/wifi8.png 944w, https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/wifi8-300x171.png 300w, https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/wifi8-768x439.png 768w, https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/wifi8-696x397.png 696w" sizes="(max-width: 944px) 100vw, 944px" /><figcaption>Changing the network configuration from public to private.</figcaption></figure>



<p>Therefore, click on the <strong>Power Management</strong> tab. Then uncheck the A<em>llow the computer to turn off this device to save power</em> box. Click OK to save the changes and see if we get a more stable connection.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" width="400" height="473" src="https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/wifi9.png" alt="" class="wp-image-34552" srcset="https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/wifi9.png 400w, https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/wifi9-254x300.png 254w" sizes="(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px" /></figure>



<h2>Reset Automatic WLAN Configuration</h2>



<p>The Automatic WLAN Configuration service is responsible for connecting Windows to our router. In the case that it has some problem when starting, it can prevent the connection. Therefore, we can try to configure it to run automatically at startup. To accomplish this, we must press the keyboard shortcut Windows + R and launch the Run command. Here we write <em>services.msc </em>and press Enter.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" width="399" height="206" src="https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/wifi10.png" alt="" class="wp-image-34553" srcset="https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/wifi10.png 399w, https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/wifi10-300x155.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 399px) 100vw, 399px" /></figure>



<p>Consequently, we will see a list of Windows services. Please scroll down to the bottom until you get the <strong>WLAN AutoConfig.</strong> Please double-click on it to access the properties.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="787" src="https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/wifi11-1024x787.png" alt="" class="wp-image-34554" srcset="https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/wifi11-1024x787.png 1024w, https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/wifi11-300x231.png 300w, https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/wifi11-768x590.png 768w, https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/wifi11-696x535.png 696w, https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/wifi11-1068x821.png 1068w, https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/wifi11.png 1280w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<p>What we want is to modify the startup type. With this in mind, click on the General tab. Once there, under <em>Startup type</em>, click on <em>Automatic</em> and press Apply and OK to save the changes. Finally, we restart the system and check if the connection drop problems have been solved.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" width="406" height="468" src="https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/wifi12.png" alt="" class="wp-image-34555" srcset="https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/wifi12.png 406w, https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/wifi12-260x300.png 260w" sizes="(max-width: 406px) 100vw, 406px" /></figure>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p>Hello friends! VoWiFi calling on Android is one of the little-known features. Enabling them is not that complicated, but it will depend on the brand of your device. Normally there is a VoWiFi calling section in the settings, but in the case of <a href="https://www.mi.com/global/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Xiaomi</a> phones, this menu is hidden. <strong>That&#8217;s why in this post we will show you how to activate VoWiFi calls on Xiaomi phones</strong>. VoWiFi calls or Voice over <a href="https://www.osradar.com/?s=Wifi" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">WiFi</a> is a technology that allows you to make calls using your phone number through a WiFi connection, even if you do not have a mobile network. It can be useful for example to make calls from abroad and thus avoid an additional charge. Or in case you need to call someone and you only have a WiFi connection. </p>



<h2>First step</h2>



<p>Open the phone app, then enter the following code <em>#</em>#869434#<em>#</em>#**.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" width="473" height="1024" src="//1081754738.rsc.cdn77.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/Av01-473x1024.jpg" alt="Open the phone app, then enter the following code ##869434###** activate VoWifi" class="wp-image-31010" srcset="https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/Av01-473x1024.jpg 473w, https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/Av01-138x300.jpg 138w, https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/Av01-768x1664.jpg 768w, https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/Av01-709x1536.jpg 709w, https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/Av01-945x2048.jpg 945w, https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/Av01.jpg 1080w" sizes="(max-width: 473px) 100vw, 473px" /><figcaption>Open the phone app, then enter the following code ##869434###**.</figcaption></figure>



<h2>Second step</h2>



<p>After you have entered the code, you will get a message: &#8220;<em>VoWiFi Carrier check was disabled</em>&#8220;</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" width="473" height="1024" src="//1081754738.rsc.cdn77.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/Av02-473x1024.jpg" alt="After you have entered the code, you will get a message: &quot;VoWiFi Carrier check was disabled&quot;activate VoWifi" class="wp-image-31011" srcset="https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/Av02-473x1024.jpg 473w, https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/Av02-138x300.jpg 138w, https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/Av02-768x1664.jpg 768w, https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/Av02-709x1536.jpg 709w, https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/Av02-945x2048.jpg 945w, https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/Av02.jpg 1080w" sizes="(max-width: 473px) 100vw, 473px" /><figcaption>After you have entered the code, you will get a message: &#8220;VoWiFi Carrier check was disabled&#8221;</figcaption></figure>



<h2>Third step</h2>



<p>Go to the phone <em>settings</em>, then go to <em>&#8220;SIM cards and mobile networks&#8221;</em>, then select your SIM card.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" width="473" height="1024" src="//1081754738.rsc.cdn77.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/Av03-473x1024.jpg" alt="Go to the phone settings, then go to &quot;SIM cards and mobile networks&quot;, then select your SIM card.

<h2>Fourth step</h2>



<p>Then activate the option &#8220;<em>Make Calls using WiFi&#8221;.</em></p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" width="473" height="1024" src="//1081754738.rsc.cdn77.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/Av05-473x1024.jpg" alt="Then activate the option &quot;Make Calls using WiFi&quot;." class="wp-image-31013" srcset="https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/Av05-473x1024.jpg 473w, https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/Av05-138x300.jpg 138w, https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/Av05-768x1664.jpg 768w, https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/Av05-709x1536.jpg 709w, https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/Av05-945x2048.jpg 945w, https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/Av05.jpg 1080w" sizes="(max-width: 473px) 100vw, 473px" /><figcaption>Activate VoWifi</figcaption></figure>



<h2>Conclusion</h2>



<p>VoWiFi call is an untapped feature, it is also important to emphasize that you need your operator to offer this service, so check before activating it. Also in most cases, the cost of the calls will be zero because they are through WiFi, also in some areas of big cities where the antennas are over-saturated will be an advantage to be able to connect much faster. This problem in big cities is more common than it seems. Due to the immense volume of users. Another advantage is that you will not depend on coverage as long as you have a WiFi connection. We recommend you try it and let us know about your experience. Thanks for reading us, bye!</p>

<p>Hello! The quality of the internet connection depends on many factors. Therefore, we should be aware of all of them. In particular, the Wi-Fi signal strength is a determining factor. Nowadays, we use the computer everywhere in the house. Indeed, gone are the days when we were limited to a desktop. We use to play, work and study in any environment. Whether lying on a sofa, lying in bed, or from the terrace. The problem is that sometimes in these areas there is poor signal strength. Well, in this post we will see how to check WiFi signal strength in <a href="https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Windows 10.</a></p>



<h2>Taskbar icon is the quickest option</h2>



<p>Obviously, the option to check the taskbar is the fastest. Indeed, the connection icon shows the Wi-Fi signal strength level. And not only that of the current connection, but also that of other available networks. If by any chance it is not displayed, please click on the arrow to show hidden icons.</p>

<h2>Using PowerShell to measure Wi-Fi signal strength.</h2>



<p>On the other hand, there are formulas to obtain a more accurate measurement. For this, you have to use PowerShell. For this purpose, press the Win+X combination and launch <strong>PowerShell.</strong></p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" width="273" height="631" src="//1081754738.rsc.cdn77.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/wifi2.png" alt="Launching PowerShell" class="wp-image-29481" srcset="https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/wifi2.png 273w, https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/wifi2-130x300.png 130w" sizes="(max-width: 273px) 100vw, 273px" /><figcaption>Launching PowerShell</figcaption></figure>



<p>Then, you just have to run the following command:</p>



<pre class="wp-block-preformatted"><em>netsh wlan show interfaces</em></pre>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" width="859" height="732" src="//1081754738.rsc.cdn77.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/wifi3.png" alt="PowerShell showing the strength of the Wi-Fi connection. " class="wp-image-29482" srcset="https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/wifi3.png 859w, https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/wifi3-300x256.png 300w, https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/wifi3-768x654.png 768w, https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/wifi3-696x593.png 696w" sizes="(max-width: 859px) 100vw, 859px" /><figcaption>PowerShell showing the strength of the Wi-Fi connection.</figcaption></figure>



<p>The image shows the magnitude of the wifi signal expressed as a percentage.</p>



<h2>Using the command prompt to view the Wi-Fi signal strength.</h2>



<p>Another option to appreciate the value of this variable is with the system symbol. With this in mind, press the Win+R combination to invoke the run box. Once there, type <em>CMD</em>.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" width="399" height="206" src="//1081754738.rsc.cdn77.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/wifi4.png" alt="" class="wp-image-29483" srcset="https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/wifi4.png 399w, https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/wifi4-300x155.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 399px) 100vw, 399px" /></figure>



<p>Then, you only have to run the following command:</p>



<pre class="wp-block-preformatted"> <em>netsh wlan show interfaces</em></pre>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" width="979" height="512" src="//1081754738.rsc.cdn77.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/wifi5.png" alt="The signal strength shown by the system symbol. " class="wp-image-29484" srcset="https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/wifi5.png 979w, https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/wifi5-300x157.png 300w, https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/wifi5-768x402.png 768w, https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/wifi5-696x364.png 696w" sizes="(max-width: 979px) 100vw, 979px" /><figcaption>The signal strength shown by the system symbol.</figcaption></figure>



<p>Once again, you can see the signal strength expressed as a percentage. Very well, this way we have seen how to check the WiFi signal strength in <a href="https://www.osradar.com/category/windows/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Windows 10.</a> Small data like this allow improving the understanding of the network connection.

<p>Hello friends! Once again we bring you some good tips and tricks for your Android device. Sometimes when you have visits from family and friends, but don&#8217;t want to give them the password to your wifi network. In these cases, there is a simple alternative. That&#8217;s why in this post we will teach you how to use your <a href="https://www.osradar.com/?s=Android" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Android </a>as a wifi repeater.</p>



<p><strong>NetShare</strong></p>



<p>NetShare is an app, which allows you to create a wifi hotspot, to share your mobile data, or extend your existing wifi connection as a repeater. Note that this app does not need Root access. One of its features is that it will automatically generate the network name and password. This is a way to share your wifi network in a secure way.</p>



<h2>First step</h2>



<p>To start you must download and install from the Google Play Store the Netshare app, I recommend you do so by following the link below:</p>



<p><a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=kha.prog.mikrotik&amp;utm_source=netshare.app&amp;utm_campaign=website&amp;pcampaignid=MKT-Other-global-all-co-prtnr-py-PartBadge-Mar2515-1" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Google Play Store | NetShare-no-root-tethering</a></p>



<h2>Second step</h2>



<p>Once you have installed Netshare, open the app. Then press<em> Start Wifi Hotspot</em>, the hotspot will be created automatically. The network name and password cannot be changed because they are automatically generated by the Android system. Remember that you must be connected to a wifi network or cellular data obviously.</p>

<figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img loading="lazy" src="//1081754738.rsc.cdn77.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/Net02-473x1024.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-24522" width="355" height="768" srcset="https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/Net02-473x1024.jpg 473w, https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/Net02-138x300.jpg 138w, https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/Net02-768x1664.jpg 768w, https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/Net02-709x1536.jpg 709w, https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/Net02-945x2048.jpg 945w, https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/Net02-696x1508.jpg 696w, https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/Net02-1068x2314.jpg 1068w, https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/Net02.jpg 1080w" sizes="(max-width: 355px) 100vw, 355px" /><figcaption>Android Wifi Hotspot</figcaption></figure>



<h2>Third step</h2>



<p>After that, connect to the Hotspot using the password. Then go to<em> wifi settings</em>, select <em>the network</em>, and set the proxy server to manual. Then enter the address and port. In this case, they are:</p>



<p>Address: 192.168.49.1<br>Port: 8282</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img loading="lazy" src="//1081754738.rsc.cdn77.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/Net03-473x1024.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-24550" width="355" height="768" srcset="https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/Net03-473x1024.jpg 473w, https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/Net03-138x300.jpg 138w, https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/Net03-768x1664.jpg 768w, https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/Net03-709x1536.jpg 709w, https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/Net03-945x2048.jpg 945w, https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/Net03-696x1508.jpg 696w, https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/Net03-1068x2314.jpg 1068w, https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/Net03.jpg 1080w" sizes="(max-width: 355px) 100vw, 355px" /><figcaption>Wifi Settings</figcaption></figure>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Wi-Fi has changed the way we enjoy the facility of internet. Within the Wi-Fi range, any device capable of connection can enjoy the fast internet without any wired connection! However, we tend to forget the Wi-Fi password. Because once we connect to the specific network, we don’t remember them after a few months or so. <a href="https://www.osradar.com/view-saved-wi-fi-passwords-windows/">Recovering Wi-Fi password from Windows</a> is really easy, but recovering from Linux can be a bit difficult.</p>
<h3>Recover Wi-Fi Password</h3>
<p>Depending on your distro, the method can vary. But the techniques can be the same in most scenario. Let’s start digging up the lost password! Note that I’m using “elementary OS”, but the method should work on most modern Linux distros. My desktop is connected to “TP-LINK_8D72” Wi-Fi network.</p>
<ul>
<li>Open a terminal.</li>
<li>Navigate to the folder where the system stores the connection information.</li>
</ul>
<pre>cd /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections</pre>
<p><img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-2443 aligncenter" src="https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/1-navigate-to-connection-folder.png" alt="" width="956" height="176" srcset="https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/1-navigate-to-connection-folder.png 956w, https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/1-navigate-to-connection-folder-300x55.png 300w, https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/1-navigate-to-connection-folder-768x141.png 768w, https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/1-navigate-to-connection-folder-696x128.png 696w" sizes="(max-width: 956px) 100vw, 956px" /></p>
<ul>
<li>Time to check the list of all the stored network(s).</li>
</ul>
<pre>ls</pre>
<p><img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-2444 aligncenter" src="https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/2-check-available-connections.png" alt="" width="959" height="167" srcset="https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/2-check-available-connections.png 959w, https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/2-check-available-connections-300x52.png 300w, https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/2-check-available-connections-768x134.png 768w, https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/2-check-available-connections-696x121.png 696w" sizes="(max-width: 959px) 100vw, 959px" /></p>
<ul>
<li>Open the file using the following command.</li>
</ul>
<pre>sudo cat TP-LINK_8D72</pre>
<p><img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-2445 aligncenter" src="https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/3-read-file.png" alt="" width="955" height="212" srcset="https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/3-read-file.png 955w, https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/3-read-file-300x67.png 300w, https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/3-read-file-768x170.png 768w, https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/3-read-file-696x155.png 696w" sizes="(max-width: 955px) 100vw, 955px" /></p>
<ul>
<li>Search for the following line:</li>
</ul>
<p><img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-2446 aligncenter" src="https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/4-password-revealed.png" alt="" width="1047" height="596" srcset="https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/4-password-revealed.png 1047w, https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/4-password-revealed-300x171.png 300w, https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/4-password-revealed-768x437.png 768w, https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/4-password-revealed-1024x583.png 1024w, https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/4-password-revealed-696x396.png 696w, https://www.osradar.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/4-password-revealed-738x420.png 738w" sizes="(max-width: 1047px) 100vw, 1047px" /></p>
<p>Voila! The password is recovered once again!</p>
<h3>Other places to try</h3>
<p>However, there are some old and lightweight distros that use “wicd” to connect to networks. In that case, follow these steps:</p>
<ul>
<li>Open a terminal.</li>
<li>Navigate to the connections’ folder.</li>
</ul>
<pre><code>cd /etc/wicd</code></pre>
<ul>
<li>Open the “wireless settings” file.</li>
</ul>
<pre>sudo cat wireless-settings.conf</pre>
<p>If you didn’t find any success, another file to look for is “wpa_supplicant.conf”. Check out the file using the following steps:</p>
<ul>
<li>Open terminal.</li>
<li>Run this command:</li>
</ul>
<pre>sudo locate wpa_supplicant.conf</pre>
<ul>
<li>Then, follow the steps stated above to read the file and recover the lost password.</li>
</ul>
<p>Enjoy!</p>
