Generate a report on the usage history of Wifi and WLAN on Windows 10
To generate a report on Wifi and WLAN usage history on Windows 10, you need the assistance of a command-line tool. This tool will save the report in HTML format on Windows 10, summarizing Wifi usage over the past 3 days.
What you need are the network connection name, session start time, session end time, session duration, and any error records that may have occurred.
The main content of the report is a summary chart of Wifi, displaying Wifi connection sessions, but not limited to a single connection. The report presents specific details you may need to analyze network performance on the system.
First, open Command Prompt with Admin rights. To do this, type cmd in the Search box, then right-click on it in the search results list and choose Run as Administrator.
In the Command Prompt window, enter the following command and press Enter to have the system generate the report in HTML format:
netsh wlan show wlanreport
The report is saved in the following path within File Explorer:
%ProgramData%\Microsoft\Windows\WlanReport\wlan-report-latest.html
By default, the ProgramData folder is hidden. To access it, activate folder visibility by clicking the View tab and checking Hidden items.
Refer to additional articles on hiding and revealing folders and files in Windows 7, 8, 8.1 on Mytour's computer for implementation details.
Click on the HTML report file to open it in your browser.
Now you can review Wifi usage details over the past 3 days on your device. The red circle icon indicates errors; click on the icon for more information about the errors.
By creating a report on the usage history of Wifi and WLAN on Windows 10, you can explore detailed information about Wifi and WLAN usage, Wifi connection sessions, user details, network card specifics, and much more. If you notice any unusual Wifi usage patterns, you can enhance the security of your network system by changing your Wifi password.
