Win 10 wifi status 2

[peterpann]

How can I get the status of a wifi connection in Win 10 ? In Win 7 I highlighted the wifi connection in the list of connections, and then clicked "status". Status showed signal strength, MAC address, connection speed and packets received and sent, all of which was useful.

See Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Network and Sharing Center\Change adapter settings, there you can right-click on the relevant Adapter to access the "Status".

Right Click the Wifi icon on the task bar, Choose Network and Sharing Center. Then choose Change Adapter Settings from the left side column.

Then right click the Wifi Adapter, and choose Status.

Unknown has caused an Unknown Error on Unknown and must be shutdown to prevent damage to Unknown.

Thanks linney and vacunita, and I can pin Control Panel\Network and Internet\"Network and Sharing Center" to the Win 10 taskbar so that it is almost as convenient as in Win 7.

You're welcome.

And here I thought the answer was to put your left finger to your nose, right finger in the middle of the right edge of the screen, swipe it counter-clockwise 270 degrees and tap 3 times until "charms" appear, then drag the crescent-moon charm...

Sorry, I was thinking of Windows 8.x I guess.

Egad, why can't Microsoft just get rid of the crap?
