![]() ![]() I also noticed my Android phone hasn't connected automatically. However, this still begs the question: why did this computer tell me the wifi network was public? I am terribly sorry if it's against the rules that I just made my own thread mosly redundant. I only realize this because some time ago, I did something like changing the system language, or the way time is displayed (AM/PM vs 24hs) on 1 laptop and the other laptop automatically followed suit, which I was first surprised by, and then manually switched it back for the other laptop. I just realized that this may have happened, because I use 2 laptops with the same Microsoft account, and the other laptop was (I think) manually connected to this network on the day of installation, weeks ago. Thanks in advance for your time and effort. (which is what I just did, with my own laptop that is). I do not want people to be able to connect to my network without a password Please tell me how this was able to happen, and, The computer also stated (hovering over the network icon in the task bar) that the network was Public, it's not supposed to be this way, I changed a setting and now it says it's ''Protected'' instead. Instead, my question is (sorry if I am repetitive here), why the heck did this computer automatically connect to a password-protected network? ![]() I did find some advanced forum threads about ''roaming sensitivity'' but it seems like a risky thing to mess around with the context of my question. Even if it was, I do not trust that just ticking some box on this PC for a wifi connection will prevent other devices in the future from doing the same. I cannot find any useful results on Google - everything points to tutorials to turn off automatic connecting for a wifi network in particular, but that's not precisely my question. I just moved into a new condo, and my main working laptop automatically connected to my router that I let a network/cable company install a few weeks ago. ![]()
