Hi<br>Assume that they are not connecting to wi-fi automatically. What if you connect manually? does it connect or not at all connected? Hope you have selected 'Connect Automatically' check box on your preferred SSID (lab wi-fi).<br><br><a href="https://filedb.experts-exchange.com/incoming/2020/10_w42/1524084/1602898263737.png" rel="ugc"><img src="https://filedb.experts-exchange.com/incoming/2020/10_w42/1524084/1602898263737.png" class="fr-fic fr-dib"></a><br>

I have lab computers that are not connecting to our wifi like it did last year and can't find the issue. &nbsp;We have laptops that are used for lab for students. &nbsp;It used to connect to our staff wireless network as soon as you open the lid and get it turned on. &nbsp;We have the staff automatically connect using GPO. &nbsp;Everything works for a while on some computers and then all of a sudden stops working. &nbsp;Didn't know if changing power settings on the wireless adapter to have it not shut off. &nbsp;Just wanting to see what anyone else has done to help with this issue.

I have lab computers that are not connecting to our wifi like it did last year and can't find the issue.  We have laptops that are used for lab for students.  It used to connect to our staff wireless network as soon as you open the lid and get it turned on.  We have the staff automatically connect using GPO.  Everything works for a while on some computers and then all of a sudden stops working.  Didn't know if changing power settings on the wireless adapter to have it not shut off.  Just wanting to see what anyone else has done to help with this issue.

How do I get laptops to connect to an SSID before having users log in?

Wireless networking is anything related to the transfer of data between two (or more) devices without the use of a physical connection, ranging from getting advice on a new Bluetooth headset to configuring sophisticated enterprise level networks.

Wireless Networking

A laptop or notebook is a portable personal computer with a clamshell form factor, suitable for mobile use. Although originally there was a distinction between laptops and notebooks, the former being bigger and heavier than the latter, there is often no longer any difference. Laptops are commonly used in a variety of settings, such as at work, in education, and for personal multimedia. A laptop combines the components, inputs, outputs and capabilities of a desktop computer, including the display screen, speakers, a keyboard, and pointing devices (such as a touchpad or trackpad) into a single unit. The device can be powered either from a rechargeable battery or by mains electricity from an AC adapter.
