Updating your network settings in the Control Panel is a simple process that can easily be done in a few easy steps.
First, you will need to open the Control Panel window. On a Windows 10 machine, this is typically done by clicking on the “Start” button and typing in “Control Panel” in the search bar. Click on the Control Panel window that appears.
Alternatively, you can open the Control Panel by right-clicking on the Start button and selecting the “Control Panel” option.
Once the Control Panel window is open, locate the “Network and Internet” section. This section may also appear as “Internet and Networking” depending on the version of Windows you are using. Here you can find various options such as “View network status and tasks” or “Change adapter settings”.
If you select “Change adapter settings”, a new window will appear with a list of the installed network adapters in your system. Click on the adapter for which you want to update the settings.
Once you have selected the adapter, right-click on it and select “Properties” from the pop-up menu. A new window will then appear with various tabs, including “Advanced” and “Networking”.
In the “Networking” tab, you can find the options to edit your network settings, such as IPv4 and IPv6 address, DNS server address, and other related parameters. If you are unsure of what settings to change, refer to your router setup guide or contact your internet service provider customer support representative.
It is important to remember that when updating any network setting, you should always save the changes before exiting. To save the changes, click the “OK” button.
You have now successfully updated your network settings in the Control Panel. Keep in mind that if you are not familiar with network configuration settings, it is best to consult with an experienced computer technician or IT professional.
