=== Wireless network report ===

If you need to troubleshoot the wireless connectivity to an access point, netsh also includes a command to create a detailed report with many important details.

To create a wireless report, use these steps:

  *     Open Start.
  *     Search for Command Prompt, right-click the top result, and select the Run as administrator option.
  *     Type the following command to create a wireless adapter report and press Enter:

  netsh wlan show wlanreport

{{ :microsoft:cli:13_netsh-wlan-report-command.jpg?700 }}

  *     Type the following command to open the report and press Enter:

  C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\WlanReport\wlan-report-latest.html
  
{{ :microsoft:cli:14_wlan-report-html-file.jpg?700 }}

Once you complete the steps, the report will open with the default web browser.

The wlan reports contain a graph with details of the connectivity status, including information, such as when the connection started, when it got disconnected, errors, and more. The report also summarizes the network adapters' information configured on your system, success and failed session, disconnect reasons, and more. It is a very detailed report that can help you ping point many Wi-Fi connectivity issues.

While you can manage many wireless settings through the Settings app, the netsh command-line tool gives you more advanced tools to view, configure, and troubleshoot Wi-Fi and Ethernet connections.
