Windows WIFI Troubleshooting Tip
Since WIFI is pretty well everywhere, I find clients asking me to help out clients with wireless troubleshooting with no specialized tools. It is quite common for my clients to throw me into a problem.
I get a kick out of showing people how you can use Windows command prompt to start troubleshooting WIFI issues. Many of my clients are already familiar with ping, ipconfig, tracert, etc, but never used the “netsh wlan” commands.
I am not suggesting this tip will replace any of your WIFI troubleshooting tools, but will instead compliment any existing tools and give you an appreciation of your tools.
