One of the most common ways to connect to the network from our Windows 10 devices is the wireless or Wi-Fi network.
The Wi-Fi network offers us portability and high levels of access both privately and publicly but on many occasions there are multiple connectivity errors not only due to external factors that affect the Wi-Fi signal such as walls, walls, waves, etc, but sometimes due to system or network controller errors.
To solve these problems, this tutorial will give some practical tips to optimize the use of the Wi-Fi network in Windows 10.
The most common problem with the Wi-Fi network is the limited connection which prevents access to the desired sites or that navigation is slow and partially.
1. Fix WiFi error from Windows 10 Device Manager
In this case, the process to be carried out consists in restoring the Wi-Fi network controller to its original state, refreshing all its services since, due to the constant use, some of these services may present some type of anomaly affecting the optimal connectivity to the network.
Step 1
For this we must access the Windows 10 device manager using one of the following options:
Device Manager
Step 2
Once the device manager window is open, we will locate the Wi-Fi network controller, right click on it and select the Disable device option :
Once disabled, we will restart the operating system and once the session is started we will access the device manager again to enable the Wi-Fi controller, in this way we have reestablished its correct connection to the network.
2. Fix Wifi error when resetting TCP settings in Windows 10
TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) is a protocol oriented to the connection to the network that in some moments can present some type of inconsistency generating connection errors or slowness in the same.
A good practice is to reset this TCP value to have again the desired and necessary values of connection to the Wi-Fi network.
To reset these values we must access the command prompt console as administrators and once we access it will be necessary to execute the following commands in their order:
netsh int tcp set heuristics disabled netsh int tcp set global autotuninglevel = disabled netsh int tcp set global rss = enabled
Once these commands have been executed, we will now use the following line to verify correct operation:
netsh int tcp show global
Now we can close the command prompt and restart the computer to apply the respective changes.
3. Troubleshoot WiFi error with Windows 10 Troubleshooting
Windows 10 includes a new functionality called Problem Solver which allows you to perform a detailed analysis of multiple aspects of the system, detect failures and correct them.
Step 1
To access this utility we go to the following route:
- Control Panel
- All Control Panel items
- Problem solving
Step 2
There we will click on the Connect to Internet line located in the Networks and Internet section and the following wizard will be displayed:
Step 3
Click on Next and the respective analysis will start looking for failures. As soon as it concludes we can see what type of errors are active and we will proceed to correct them.
With any of the mentioned options we will have the opportunity to correctly restore the Wi-Fi connection and enjoy browsing without errors.
