How Do I Show Available Networks on Windows?

Published in Computer & Technology 1 min read

You can easily view available Wi-Fi networks on your Windows computer by following these steps:

  1. Click the Wi-Fi icon: Look for the Wi-Fi icon in the taskbar, usually located in the bottom-right corner of your screen. It might resemble an antenna or a wireless signal.
  2. Click "Show available networks": Once you click the Wi-Fi icon, a menu will appear. Look for the option "Show available networks" or a similar wording and click on it.
  3. View the list: A list of available Wi-Fi networks in your vicinity will be displayed.

Here are some additional tips:

  • If you don't see the Wi-Fi icon, ensure your wireless adapter is enabled. You can check this in the "Network and Sharing Center" settings.
  • If the list of networks is empty, ensure your Wi-Fi adapter is properly connected and functioning.
  • The list might also show hidden networks, but you'll need the network password to connect.

Remember: The exact location and wording of the options may vary slightly depending on your Windows version.
