craigathus Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 Hi all So this is how I connect to the Internet with my desk top PC at the moment. I'm guessing these WIFI USB dongles are all pretty much the same so my question is... Should I remove this adapter from the USB port after disconnecting from my WIFI network ? If I don't physically remove it from my PC via Windows "Safely Remove Hardware" it keeps on searching for a WIFI network. Or is it normal to just leave it plugged in all the time even during shut down and start ups of my PC ? http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner/builds http://www.piriform.com/docs http://www.postimage.org/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators mta Posted March 19, 2017 Moderators Share Posted March 19, 2017 Wifi adapters don't need to be 'safely removed' as there is no queuing of info to/from them that could be lost if the adapter was yanked out before any such queue was flushed out. once you tell it to connect to a network and tick the 'auto connect' box, it should just work. it should keep trying to find your network. they tend to just stay plugged in. don't know any situation where I've seen them pulled out - unless you want to kill the connection quickly. Backup now & backup often.It's your digital life - protect it with a backup.Three things are certain; Birth, Death and loss of data. You control the last.
