Win 8 Wi-Fi Access

Is there a way with Win 8 to prohibit access to the wireless networks under a certain login? I ask this because my apartment complex has a few computers that need this blocked because it's always saying that it has limited access, but if I do a disconnect and a re-connect, then it's fine. So, I think someone is messing with the networks. There is an admin account and also a login without a password that gets auto login. Also, this is in an area that's accessible by everyone in the complex, but the office staff can't see and watch them. Thanks in advance.

I think there's a setting for whether WiFi network connection definitions are system-wide or per-user.

As noted by nwrickert you can add profiles for all users or the current user. Its buried in the netsh wlan commands.

It was quite easy to do in Windows 7 but that GUI functionality has been removed in Windows 8. So having never done this in Windows 8 as always YMMV...

Good luck...

Ok, I just looked at that link and it really confused me. Can anyone tell me how to do this or give me examples of how to do this? Thanks.

I would post a netsh command question like this to the MSFT TechNet Win 8 IT Pro Networking forum...
