Setting up your Wireless connection as a metered connection

Tags windows10

A metered connection is an Internet connection that has a data limit associated with it. Cellular data connections are set as metered by default. Wi-Fi and Ethernet network connections can be set to metered but aren't by default. Some apps might work differently on a metered connection to help reduce your data usage. Also, some updates for Windows won't be installed automatically.

To set a Wi-Fi network connection as metered:

  • Select Start  > Settings  > Network & Internet > Wi-Fi  > Manage known networks.

  • Select the Wi-Fi network > Properties > turn on Set as metered connection.
