    Disallow users from connecting to other WiFis?


    Hi, I run an office with Windows 10 on all the PC.
    Well, except maybe three.

    Anyways, I want to allow connection to only one WiFi, which is my WiFi. How do I do this?

    This is to prevent users from connecting to their Hotspots and stealing my data.

    Thank you. :)

    This forum has been of so much help to me in the last few months. Thank you.

    You could try group policy: How to use Group Policy to white list wireless networks

    Or you could try NetSetMan Pro to pre-configure only your WiFi to be enabled.

    Alright, thank you.
    But anything without using GPEdit.msc?

    The three laptops I have came with Windows Home Edition.

    Then you better upgrade them to Windows Pro. You shouldn't be using the Home version in a corporate setting.

    My Windows 10 Pro PCs with GPEdit.msc do not have this option.

    Is there any alternative option?

    Is it because those PCs don't have a wireless card. That setting requires the system to actually have a WiFi card.

    Can try doing it with netsh. See the following link

    Wouldn't a better solution be to remove the WIFI nic cards from the workstations, and have them connect via Ethernet to the hub...assuming of course you have a hub or switch on your system. No WIFI cards in the workstation will prevent them from connecting to any WIFI hot spots. Anyway, just a thought.

    I have a USB WiFi adapter on all PCs.

    I don't have a Switch or Hub.
