I decided to write about possible solutions for another problem with connecting to Wi-Fi in Windows 10. This is an error "Unable to connect to this network". When we select the network you need in the list, click connecting, it seems to be connected, but the inscription appears "cannot connect to this network". In Windows 10 it looks like this:

This error may appear because of anything: some kind of failure in the system itself, or on the router, change the parameters Wi-Fi network (password, encryption type), etc. By the way, the most popular reason is just changing the Wi-Fi network password.

Opening sites in the browser, user, especially after reinstalling or windows updatesmay encounter an error "Unable to connect to a proxy server", which is issued at all without exceptions on the network. A similar problem can be overtake when using any browser: Google Chrome., Opera, Mozilla Firefox., Yandex browser and so on. The fact is that it is associated with the wrong settings of Windows itself or other problems, that is, it does not matter through which of the browsers is to connect to Internet resources. As part of this article, we will look at what to do if the error occurs "cannot be connected to the proxy server".

Why not be able to connect to the proxy server

Most often, the error under consideration occurs due to changes in the operating system settings Windows Parameters Connections S. automatic mode For an option using a proxy server. This setting It may be set by default in some Windows builds (unofficial), as well as it can be included after the operating system is updated for any other reasons. A variant is also possible when the settings on the computer changes the virus, but it is quite rare.

What if you can not connect to the proxy server

If you do not turn out to be connected to the proxy server, you can fix the problem through windows settings. This is done as follows:


After that, you need to restart the computer, and the connection error towards the proxy server no longer have to disturb you.

It is worth noting that you can switch to the settings of the local network parameters not only through the "control panel", but also from the browser. On the example of Google Chrome it looks like this:


Note: If you use the extension in Google Chrome, which sets the proxy server automatically, for example, Frigate, then go to change the settings from the browser will not work.

Similar ways to change the connection settings can be configured in any browser.

What if you can not connect to the proxy server due to the virus

Above is described above standard method Solving the problem when you cannot connect to the proxy server due to incorrect system settings. But there is a place when viral applications Indoor changes the connection parameters, while some of them do after restarting the computer, while others directly during PC operation.

If the connection problems fails to be solved by the method described above, you need to check the computer to viruses. You can use to check free antivirusFor example: Zemana Antimalware, Hitmanpro, Microsoft Malicious Software Removal Tool., Spybot Search. & Destroy, Avast and others. Before checking a computer, antiviruses are recommended to check the list of applications installed in recent times and remove all unknown. It is also necessary to check the list of extensions in the browser, which is used most often.

To avoid computer infection with viruses, it is recommended to install applications only from official developers sites or from other proven sources. Must be sure to pay attention to the terms of the User Agreement, which may include items related to the installation of "partner applications", which increases the risk of infection with viruses.

When I wrote this article, I promised to tell about how to get rid of a similar mistakes in the operating room windows system 8, or Windows 8.1. Error "Network parameters stored on this computer do not meet the requirements of this network", which appears on Windows 7, looks like a little differently on the eight. It sounds like this: "Can't connect to this network," and looks like this:

Since the mistake itself and its solution is different, then for Windows 8 I decided to write a separate article. In which I will tell and show how to get rid of the error "cannot connect to this network", which appears when you try to connect to Wi-Fi, or when you automatically connect.

I certainly do not know everyone possible causesFor which this problem appears (they probably do not even know the Windows developers themselves), but one reason I know for sure. And it is the same as on Windows 7.

As a rule, this error appears after changing settings wireless networkTo which the computer has already been connected. Now I will explain a little more in detail what you understand what the problem is. We have a computer that works on operating system Windows 8, or 8.1. It is connected to some Wi-Fi network and works successfully (of course, if there is no "limited" error). And the next time you turn on the computer, you see the inscription "Check the requirements of the network" and then the error fails to connect to this network.

Most likely, someone, or you yourself changed the wireless settings on the router. Password, encryption type, security, etc. Settings to this Wi-Fi network, which have been saved on the computer, are simply not coincided with those set on the router. That's a mistake.

Solution: Unable to connect to this network.

You just need to forget this network and set the connection again. In Windows 8, this is done very simple.

Click on the network icon on the notification panel. On the right, the panel will open on the right, right-click on the network to which the eight does not want to connect. Select "Forget this network".


Open the list again network available, click on our network and choose Connect.


Indicate the password from the network and click Further. If you changed the password, you must specify the new one. If you changed the password and forgot it, then try to remember. Or make sure the password correctly.


Everything is working. Status is connected, no errors.


If some problems arose during the re-connection process, then see another article with possible errors When connected to Wi-Fi on Windows 8.

If something does not work, write in the comments, I will try to help. If you know other solutions (or causes) of this problem, you can share in the comments, we will be grateful!

Fairly common problem among windows userswhen the computer cannot connect to wi-Fi network. A few reasons may be associated with this problem. And in this article we will try to affect them all.

The reasons for which the computer cannot connect to the wireless network is enough. Below we will look at the most common causes in descending order.

[b] Cause 1: Incorrect key input from a wireless network

Strangely enough, but users have problems with connecting to Wi-Fi precisely because of the wrong password input.

If you do not remember exactly what your wi-fi password looks like, then this information can be obtained by contacting the router parameters. To do this, launch any browser and in address line Enter [b] 192.168.1.1 (less often [b] 192.168.0.1 ) And press the ENTER key. Enter the login password to enter the router parameters (standard is used as login and password [b] "Admin"), and then go to the [b] section "Wireless Network" - "Security Key" (The name may differ) and view the information about the current password from Wi-Fi.

By entering a password, pay attention to the keyboard layout, as well as the Activity of the CAPS LOCK key.

[b] Reason 2: Router hung

If a previously computer Quietly performed connection to the wireless network, and then sharply the connection was gone, try moving the router. To do this, turn it off for a couple of minutes, turn on and wait for the full download. After that, check the ability to connect to Wi-Fi.

[b] Cause 3: "Glitch" in wi-Fi work adapter

Try turning off and enable Wi-Fi adapter. If you are the owner of the laptop, then for it, as a rule, the combination of the [B] keys corresponds to Fn + F2..

To do this, go to the official website of the laptop manufacturer and download required drivers It is for your model of the device. Make the installation of drivers on the laptop, and then run it to reboot.

[b] n rECINCH 4: In the router settings, there is a limit on the number of connected devices

You, again, you need to check the router settings to make sure that the digit is set to a sufficient number of connected devices in the settings.

By logging in to the router settings, go to [b] "Wireless network" And check the required item. If necessary, expand the number of connected devices and save the settings.

[b] Cause 5: The MAC addresses filter is set in the router settings

It can be assumed that for any reason the MAC address of your device was blacklisted, due to which the connection to W-Fi will be blocked. Often such a problem occurs when hacking a router.

Go to the router settings and select [B] "Filter MAC addresses" or [b] "Mac-Filtering" And check if there are some devices there. If they are there, they can be removed from the list. We will also be able to change the security key of the wireless network, as well as the password to enter the router settings.
