Thank you all for attempting to help me with this minor problem.
PiecingMeBackTogether gave me the link to rectify my issue.
Now my system automatically connects👍️😃

@EugenieLaBorgia Proved to be a total failure.
Pigeons are only good for supplying Squabs for my evening meal.

Yes. I use why-fly, too. I tie a little message around the pigeon's leg, feed him a snippet of grain and off he goes! Swallows, skylarks, starlings and willow warblers are at my disposal but they like to show off too much and the message can take longer to deliver.

You must live by a lot of WiFi connections, can you set yours as connect automatically my tablet always makes me connect manually so I feel your pain.

@hami1091 There is a box to click that says "Connect Automatically" But never does🤷‍♂️

@hami1091 I went through the steps in this video, given me by PiecingMeBackTogether and managed to work it out after 1/2 hour?
You could give it a go as well?

@Gusman Thank you I'll look into it.

Could be your wireless card in the laptop. Some of them just do that. Could be a bug in the firmware for it. Could be the operating system. Could be a setting somewhere. I've seen all of these happen.

Gusman · 61-69, M

@SW-User Sure. I'm too geriatric to attempt anything technical.
All my parameters seem to be set for auto connect. Simply does not seem to want to work

@Gusman Might just not work then.

@PiecingBabyFaceTogether All I needed to do was input my security system number and it worked.
Though I did have to google, "How do I find my Security System Number"🙂

PiecingBabyFaceTogether · 31-35, M

@Gusman Honestly I don't even know what's that lol I thought the guy just put his wifi password. But it's good that the issue is now gone.

Gusman · 61-69, M

@PiecingBabyFaceTogether Security Number is different to WiFi Password.
All good now.

It should connect automatically but if nothing is working Just write a batch file to manually connect to that specific wifi network and put that file in startup.

Gusman · 61-69, M

@jakewilde Thanks for the advice but that stuff goes over my head😁

Set up automatic contact with your wifi on all your devices

Mine does automatically like it should

You can set priority.

Gusman · 61-69, M

@midnightsun I click on Connect automatically but I still need to connect manually🤷‍♂️
