# What is WLAN autoconfig service??
WLAN AutoConfig service is built-in tool in Windows 7 that can be used to detect and connect to wireless network, of course you need to have wireless adapter installed on computer. This built-in wireless network connection tool is the same as what you use in Windows Vista, and is similar to wireless zero configuration tool in Windows XP. By default, this service is not enabled in a pc.....

# WLAN AutoConfig service not running...

If you do not activate this service, you need to use the other wireless utility which is provided by wireless adapter manufacturer in order to connect to wireless network. Personally I prefer to use this built-in wireless network connection tool as I don’t have to learn about different wireless utilities for different wireless adapters.

To start this service:
Three methods -
1) Services.msc
Step 1- Type services.msc on Search.
Step 2- Click Services when shows in Search.
Step 3- Right Click WLAN AutoConfig from the list of services listed. You may check the bottom of the list for it.
Step 4-
Click Start to run WLAN AutoConfig(WLANSVC Service)

Once you start WLAN AutoConfig(WLANSVC Service) on your computer, it will start discover available WiFi networks at your area.

2) CMD
CMD stands for Command Prompt....
There is a DOS command to activate this service. However, we must have administrative right to run this command because the DOS prompt must be run as administrator. Here we try command prompt method to run it on Windows computer (Vista and above) for a particular wireless interface.
Step 1- Run CMD as an administrator... (To run any program right click it and click on RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR..) Same for CMD....
Step 2- Type netsh and press enter.
Step 3- Type wlan and press enter.
Step 4- Start Wlansvc for a Wireless Interface.

This is the DOS Prompt command to start Wireless service on your Windows 8, 7 and Vista computer.
