You can also see if each network is secured with a password or open for anyone to join. Instead of the green bars that Windows 7 used, signal strength is indicated by the number of radio waves in the icon next to each network’s name.
When you click the Network icon, you should see a list of nearby wireless networks. Click the small upward-pointing arrow on the taskbar, find the Network icon and drag it back out to the Notifications area.
If you do not see the icon, it may be in the Hidden Icons area. One way to see the list is to click the Network icon in the Notifications area on the right side of the Windows 10 taskbar the wireless version looks like radio waves fanning outward. Windows 10 has its own version of the wireless networks list, and it can be opened from the Notifications area of the taskbar.
Windows 7 made it simple to see all the available wireless networks around me by clicking the little signal-strength icon in the taskbar, but I can’t find the same feature in Windows 10.
