It is quite common that users tend to look for the way in which they can have greater control over the different types and network connections that exist, to which they are connected. In this way, they also have a record of the Wi-Fi networks they have configured and which they have used.
In order to do this, it is necessary to use multiple tools, which will help us to carry out this task. In this post, we are going to explain to you, the correct way with which you can generate a detailed report, on all those network connections that have been used within Windows 10.
Reporting on network connections
Windows 10 is a platform which allows us to create a report on the network connections to which we have previously connected. In order to do this, we simply have to follow a series of steps, which we will explain later.
As you can see, these reports are quite complete and provide all curious people with greater control and knowledge of all the networks that have been connected.
Get started with generating Wi-Fi report in Windows
To start generating a Wi-Fi report within Windows, we just have to start opening the “Command Prompt”. Once opened, we run it as administrator and proceed to start the command “netsh WLAN show WLAN report”.
Once this command has been executed, we must wait a few seconds so that the process that has started reaches its end. However, it shouldn’t take long.
Once this process has completed, we can see that on the main screen, a message will appear which will give you the correct signal about the completion of the process. Said message will also explain to you that the process, in addition to having finished, has created a special report in which we will also be shown a correct route in order to open it.
It is important that you know that the file that is created here is an HTML file which will collect all the information of the system and will detail it to you. Access said path to be able to open it and run it using any of your available browsers since it will open as if it were a web page.
There we can see a large amount of information which will show us all the details about the data that are reflected on the network card, the system we use and also relevant information about the installed drivers.
What to the importance of maintaining security?
Although this may seem like an obvious issue, it is important to highlight the importance and need to keep these items safe and up-to-date.
The attacks that we can receive are many and they can come from where you least expect it. Likewise, it is possible that these threats begin to affect much more significantly the way we navigate or use our web tools.
For this reason, it is necessary that when generating our passwords, we do so in such a way that they are strong and complex, using an alpha-numeric configuration and inserting them with other special symbols.
In this way, we will be able to prevent some intruders from entering our networks and our devices are not affected.
It is also important that all those applications and elements whose main function is on downloading are updated and kept under surveillance. To do this, you must configure pop-up alerts and downloads on illegal or suspicious sites. It is also vitally important that we keep the latest patches and updates that exist on all our applications installed and updated, especially on those that involve the security of our equipment.
