If you have Windows 10, 7 or 8.1, the first thing to do is open your Start menu and click on Settings.
From there, go to Network & Internet > Wi-Fi and click on the name of your device. When you’re in range of an active signal, it will be listed here along with other details about your connection such as its speed and MAC address (which is unique).
If you see Change network properties at the bottom of this window, that means you’re connected but don’t have access to the internet yet! Clicking this button will bring up several tabs where we can change some settings: Security Protocols defines how data is sent over a wireless connection; Advanced Mac Filtering lets us permit or deny access based on which devices are trying to connect; Advanced Diagnostics helps diagnose problems with connectivity when everything else fails – usually only available if called upon by customer support after troubleshooting steps were taken first (and only applicable for Windows 10 versions).
