my computer is a Dell XPS 400, with upgraded RAM (4GB G.SKiLL) and an updated video card (nVidia GeForce 550Ti). Please note that I have ran several virus scans, each coming up empty, and I've got up-to-date drivers on my wireless adapter.Īlso, if it helps at all. Here's how to check your Windows 10 network profile and change it if necessary. However, sometimes your network connection may be incorrectly assigned, leading to security vulnerabilities or the inability to access some features. This is where I run into the problem with the Unidentified Network.Īlso, if you have any ideas on how to fix the Wireless problem, that would be greatly appreciated as well! Windows classifies your network connections as either public or private, with certain features and security measures exclusive to each. However, my permanent computer location is away from the wireless router, or any working phone jacks that I could plug a Wireless router into, so I purchased a Powerline Network Adapter (this one to be exact: Actiontec 500 Mbps Powerline Home Theater Network Adapter Kit PWR511K01 - Best Buy) so that I could could have wired internet on my computer. So I hooked my computer up to my wireless router via Ethernet cables and the internet seemed to work perfectly fine. The real problem that I'm trying to solve is my wifi flickers on and off in intervoles ranging from 1-15 minutes, on then off. I have my wifi connection set up as a home network.
