How to change settings automatically on your office Wi-Fi

Use KeyRoutines' Wi-Fi network joined or left trigger for your office network. An If with On Wi-Fi network decides: at the office, Mute or unmute silences the speakers and Open app starts work apps; elsewhere, sound comes back and Close app closes them.

Steps

  1. 1

    Watch the network

    Add Wi-Fi network joined or left, set to joined, with your office network's name exactly as Windows shows it.

  2. 2

    Add the way home

    Add the same trigger set to left, so the routine runs when you leave the office network.

  3. 3

    At the office

    Add an If with On Wi-Fi network for the office: Mute or unmute mutes the master output and Open app starts Teams and Outlook.

  4. 4

    Elsewhere

    In the Else branch, unmute and Close app the work apps if you like.

Tips

  • Recent Windows 11 versions only tell desktop apps Wi-Fi names when location access is on; KeyRoutines shows the trigger as Waiting until it is.

Questions

Can it use a VPN instead?
Yes. KeyRoutines has a VPN connected or disconnected trigger and a VPN connected condition.
Does it work on Ethernet?
Wi-Fi triggers need Wi-Fi. On a wired desk, use Host reachable to check for a server only your office network can see.
