How do I make my internet connection automatic?

Thanks to modern Wi-Fi technologies, Internet users are gradually starting to get out of the habit of manually connecting to the Internet. But it so happens that there is no way to use a router, and I really want to keep the usual comfort - in terms of the constancy of access to online. How do I make the internet connection automatic using the available Windows tools?

The specificity of the problem under consideration is that the standard elements of the Windows interface allow the user to connect to the Network only manually. However, there are tools in the operating system management framework that still allow for automatic connection. Among them:

Let's consider the specifics of using each in more detail. The following instructions are fully applicable for Windows 8.1. But in general, the steps of the corresponding algorithm are also relevant for Windows 7, Vista and even XP.

Automatic connection to the Internet through the scheduler

So, the first way is to use the task scheduler. Before using the corresponding program, you must make sure that the name of the Internet connection is in English. Windows OS allows Russian - but the considered autorun algorithm requires exactly English, otherwise the method will not work.

In the example below, the connection is referred to as RDS. In this case, a connection to the Internet via the PPPoE protocol is assumed (most often used in ADSL modems).

Another required action - you need to open the properties of the selected connection (right-click on its icon and select the appropriate item), then go to "Parameters" and uncheck the boxes opposite items:

  • "Display connection progress";
  • "Include Login Domain";
  • "Request name, password, certificate".

If, of course, they are there, it happens that they have already been removed. This procedure is carried out by us, since the login and password will be entered through other interfaces, and in order to avoid errors in the system, it is undesirable for the corresponding function to be duplicated. In turn, displaying the connection progress in this case is an unnecessary procedure, including the domain is optional.

The next step is to work with the task scheduler. It can be launched in two ways:

  • by opening the "Control Panel", selecting the "System and Security" group, then - "Administration", then - "Scheduler";
  • by pressing the Win key combination (with the Microsoft flag) and R, and after that - by entering taskschd.msc in the line of the window that opens.

After starting the task scheduler, select the "Action" item in its menu, then - "Create a simple task". The wizard's interface should open. Opposite the "Name" and "Description" items, you can enter any phrases, but for convenience it is recommended to associate them with an Internet connection.

Click "Next" and go to the "Trigger" tab. In the corresponding window, you need to place a round "radio button" opposite the item "When starting the computer". Setting this option is one of the key steps in the algorithm, through which the PC is automatically configured to connect to the Internet. The online connection, therefore, will occur immediately after Windows boots.

However, we still have to work on the settings. By clicking "Next", we will be taken to the "Action" tab. In it, you must set the "radio button" opposite the item "Run the program". Click "Next" again.

After that, an interface will open, in which there will be a line for entering the address of the location of the executable file of the required program. In this case, it will look like this: C: \ Windows \ System32 \ rasdial.exe. We thus enter the address of a small system utility that is responsible for connecting the computer to networks.

In order to make the connection to the Internet automatic, you must also enter some data in the field opposite the item "Add arguments". Namely:

  • the name of the Internet connection (the same, in English);
  • username;
  • password.

The "arguments" can look like in the picture:

In this case, beeline is the name of the connection, login is the login provided by the provider, password is password, which is also issued by the Internet provider.

Click "Next", after which the last tab of the Wizard interface will open. In it, you will need to check the box next to the item about opening the "Properties" window for the current task after clicking "Finish". We click on the corresponding button. The connection properties window will open. On the "General" tab, you must set the "radio button" opposite the item allowing the execution of the program for all users. Next, we put a checkmark that fixes the permission for the computer to run the utility with the highest rights.

Click OK. After that, Windows will probably ask you to enter the administrator password - we do this if necessary.

Now, immediately after loading the operating system, the Internet connection will be established automatically. In order to deactivate it, you need to enter the Windows Scheduler and delete the corresponding task.

Automatic connection to the Internet via autorun

Let's consider how to make an automatic connection to the Internet via autorun. The main difficulty of the corresponding algorithm is that it is impossible to assign the automatic loading of the rasdial.exe file, which we mentioned above, through the standard Windows interfaces. We'll have to create a special file of the BAT type and "pass out" it Windows as a system one.

​​

In principle, this is not difficult to do. You need to open the Notepad program, and then place the following lines in the text field:

cd% systemroot% \ system32

start rasdial beeline login password

Thus, after the words start rasdial, we fix - as in the case of the scheduler - the connection name, username and password, in the same way separated by a space.

After that, save the file as beeline_autostart.bat. In some cases, Windows may write it to disk as beeline_autostart.bat.txt. This is not the correct format, the considered method of connecting to the Internet will not work with it.

To be able to write the correct extension in the file name, you need to open "Computer", select the menu item "View", then - "Options", then - "Change the parameters of folders and search". Go to the "View" tab and uncheck the box next to the item that the system needs to hide extensions.

After that, it will be possible to write a file with the BAT extension to the disk. It needs to be copied from where it was saved to the C: \ ProgramData \ Microsoft \ Windows \ StartMenu \ Programs \ StartUp folder. After that, each time the computer is turned on, it will automatically connect to the Internet, as in the first scenario.
