Windows 10 home Persistent Static Wifi

[murray654]

Hi,

I am using windows 10 home. I have devices on 2 networks I need to monitor. The private network is on the Ethernet port configured using dhcp.

I also need to monitor devices on the public wifi network. I set up a static ip on that network and connect to it via wifi. I just leave the gateway and dns blank.

However whenever the system reboots windows leaves the wifi disconnected. Even if the AP reboots, Windows does not reconnect to the wifi.

Is there a way to force windows to reconnect to wifi after a reboot / disconnection?

Settings > Network & Internet > WiFi > Manage known networks > select the network > Properties > flick the switch for "Connect automatically when in range" to green.

That switch is already on. Mine is turquoise.
