EUI-WiFi Manual Configuration for MS Windows
The below guide can be followed if MS Windows' automatic configuration fails.
It has been tested on MS Windows 10 Professional and is based on Windows' default wireless configuration tool (Wireless Zero Configuration).
Screenshots are taken from MS Windows 7 thus may slightly differ from other Windows versions.

You must have full Administrator rights on Windows;
-
Proper drivers for your wireless network card must already be installed. Windows has a huge list of built-in drivers but if there is none suitable for your card, you should refer to your card vendor's Web site and download the proper one. Advice on installing and setting up your network card can be provided by Portable Device Support;
-
Latest Update for Root Certificates must be installed (check Windows Update for more info);
- Your network card must be enabled and turned on (depending on the make, either via hardware or software switch).

Go to any area at the EUI covered by WiFi;
