Seeking a good reference or individual to explain clearly how to setup and troubleshoot a wireless home network on a Windows 8.1 PC. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
My system has an external broadband gateway (Motorola Assis?) attached to my laptop PC by an Ethernet cable with internet access which works just fine. &nbsp;However, the network (#4) does not display an internet connection on the Network and Shared access page. &nbsp;There are a Bluetooth and an Intel wireless network adapter installed on the PC but not connected to anything. &nbsp;My wireless devices are not being discovered. &nbsp; <br />
<br />
Please advise where to start to resolve this situation<br />
<br />
Thank You<br />

Windows 8.1 Networking

The Windows operating systems have distinct methodologies for designing and implementing networks, and have specific systems to accomplish various networking processes, such as Exchange for email, Sharepoint for shared files and programs, and IIS for delivery of web pages. Microsoft also produces server technologies for networked database use, security and virtualization.

Windows Networking

Windows 8 is a personal computer operating system developed by Microsoft as part of the Windows NT family of operating systems, with an emphasis on improving its user experience on tablets. In particular, these changes included a touch-optimized Windows shell based on Microsoft's "Metro" design language, the Start screen, a new platform for developing apps with an emphasis on touchscreen input, integration with online services, support for USB 3.0, Advanced Format hard drives, near field communications, and cloud computing. Additional security features were introduced, such as built-in antivirus software, integration with Microsoft SmartScreen phishing filtering service and support for UEFI Secure Boot on supported devices with UEFI firmware.
