The Windows 8 system does not have much difference with Win7 in the traditional desktop part, but there are still some differences in details, such as network settings.
Today, I will take you to look at the network settings commonly used in Win8. Unlike Win7, the network settings in Win8 are divided into two parts, one is to undertake the Modern UI interface, and the other is the traditional network setting interface. Network settings under the Modern interface
Under the Modern interface, the network settings are only a small part, basically used as a shortcut to open/close sharing and connect/disconnect broadband.
Slide the mouse to the upper right or lower right corner of the screen, call out the Charm bar and select "Settings". In the lower icon, we can see the "Network" icon in the first one.
Another is to connect/disconnect broadband.
Shared Network Settings
It is easier to connect and disconnect broadband connections, but only if the user has created a broadband connection, otherwise it will not be visible. It should be noted that new connections cannot be created in the Modern interface, which can only be done in traditional settings.
Traditional Network Settings Interface
Like Win7, Win8's network settings are all concentrated in the traditional settings page. There are two main paths to entering a traditional network setup. One is to enter through the control panel, and the other is to right-click on the network icon in the taskbar and select “Open Network and Sharing Center” to enter.
In the “View Network Activity" section, we can view the current network status.

Traditional Network Settings Interface
The "<;Ethernet" is The previous "local connection", no substantial change just changed the name. Click “Ethernet” We can view the network status like Win7. The pop-up window is the same as Win7, including the general options such as “Details” and “Attributes”.

<quo;Ethernet" is “local connection"> Users want to see the list of networks, you can enter through the "Change Adapter Settings" on the left, here is the same interface as XP and Win7. Click on the network icon to see that the button "Disable" and "Diagnose" will appear on the toolbar. It works the same as before.

After the broadband is built, users can create shortcuts The way to enter, of course, you can also choose to enter from the "Internet" setting of the Modern interface, which we have already introduced before.
This is the introduction of the most common part of Win8 network settings, I hope that the explanation here is more helpful to ordinary Win8 users to quickly find the entry and common settings of Win8 network settings, so that the first time after installing the new system Connect to the internet and start a new web journey.
