Answer 1

Hello, I'm Quinn and here to help!

You can easily change it through your taskbar:

1. Click the Wi-Fi icon on the taskbar (bottom right)
2. Click the arrow (>) next to Wi-Fi.
3. Select the network you want.
4. Click Connect and enter the password if needed.
5. If the device is still connecting you on the wrong network, you can select that network and click Forget.

If this isn't what you meant, could you please elaborate further? Thank you.

To change which network a Windows 11 PC is connected to, first disconnect from the current network (if needed) and then connect to a different one.

For Wi‑Fi networks:

1. Select the Network, Sound, or Battery icon on the taskbar to open Quick Settings.
2. On the Wi‑Fi quick setting, select Manage Wi‑Fi connections.
3. In the list of available Wi‑Fi networks, choose the network to use and select Connect.
4. Enter the network password if prompted, then select Next.

If the desired Wi‑Fi network is not listed, select the Refresh network list button in the lower-right of the Wi‑Fi list to rescan.

To change the network profile (public or private) after connecting:

1. Open Settings > Network & internet.
2. For Wi‑Fi, select Wi‑Fi, then select the connected Wi‑Fi network.
3. Under Network profile type, choose Public (Recommended) or Private.

If airplane mode is on and blocking wireless connections, turn it off:

1. Select the Network, Volume, or Battery icon on the taskbar.
2. Toggle Airplane mode off.
