Everyone knows that the interface for wireless profiles in Windows 8 & Windows 10 have been frustratingly dumbed down.
Let’s say you wanted to:
- Change the priority of the wireless networks that Windows automatically connected to
- View the WiFi password / key for a previously configured
Unless you like using command line tools like ‘netsh’, this is a little frustrating.
The good news is that there’s a 3rd party graphical tool out there called “WiFi Profile Manager” that provides a graphical view of:
- WiFi Profiles / SSID names
- Network connection order
- Security type
- Password / Wifi key
By right mouse clicking on a profile you can change the connection order, view the configured WiFi key/password, remove the profile, and set the network as the “default”.
It’s free so if this is something that you’d like to try, download the tool from below:
