Microsoft has introduced new changes in Windows 8 that are designed to improve the way mobile broadband and wireless networks are managed. These new changes make it much easier for users to switch between networks and services and access the things that matter most (get work done, browse the web, and socialize) faster and with less effort.

How to manage a wireless network. Windows 8 and Windows 8.1
In a new article on the Building Windows 8 website, the software giant explains that users expect the same connectivity experience on their PCs as they do on smartphones – to easily be connected and ready to go wherever they are, whenever they want.
Windows 8 simplifies many aspects of how users manage and connect different networks with a redesigned wireless networking stack. For example, when you connect new broadband hardware (such as a mobile broadband dongle or embedded module and SIM card), you don't need to install any third-party software or device drivers to connect. Windows 8 is designed so that all configuration is done "in-box," so all you have to do is plug in the device and you're connected in a few seconds. The driver always stays up to date with Windows Update to ensure a reliable experience.
Windows 8 will consolidate the user experience and to avoid confusion, there will be only one place and one interface to manage all your network connections and radios. The new Windows Network settings will allow you to turn radios (wireless, mobile or Bluetooth) on and off, as well as the ability to disable all radios with the new "Airplane Mode". And all this without any additional software.
