To switch from an Ethernet connection to a WiFi connection, you'll need to change the network settings on your device. Here's how:
1. Connect to the WiFi Network:
- On your computer: Click the WiFi icon in the taskbar, select your WiFi network, and enter the password if prompted.
- On your smartphone or tablet: Open the settings app, select WiFi, and choose your network from the list.
2. Disconnect from the Ethernet Connection:
- On your computer: Unplug the Ethernet cable from your device.
- On your smartphone or tablet: This step is usually not necessary as most devices automatically switch to WiFi when available.
3. Verify Connection:
- Open a web browser or app to ensure you have a stable internet connection.
Note: If you are using a wired connection for a specific purpose, like gaming or streaming, you may need to adjust your network settings to prioritize your WiFi connection.
Example:
Let's say you're using a wired connection for online gaming and want to switch to WiFi for a more flexible setup. You would follow the steps above and then adjust your game's settings to prioritize your WiFi connection.
Important: Make sure your WiFi network is strong and stable before switching from Ethernet.
