    Independent DHCP or manual settings per wireless connection?


    Hello!

    We have a weird access point at work that cannot automatically configure the wireless connection (via DHCP) and only works by manually configuring the IP, gateway and DNS server. The problem is that when I move my laptop to home I must remember to change the settings to auto (DHCP) to connect to my home network. This is not really convenient. I know that Android OS can store independent settings for each SSID. For example I can set my phone to connect at work with manual settings while all the other connections use automatic settings (DHCP) by default. This is not the case with Windows 10, it is either auto or manual for all SSIDs. Is there any way to change connection settings only for a specific network, not globally? Any third party utility that can do that?

    Thank you in advance

    :)

    Is it possible to set up a new manual wifi connection from the command line?

    I'm trying to work out a solution to set up ad-hock wifi connections in Windows 8.1 based on the suggestions in a post on Micsrosoft's answers site. Is there any way to do the first few steps:

    • go to "Network and Sharing Center"
    • click "Set up a new connection or network"
    • double click "Manually connect to a wireless network"
    • enter the SSID of the ad-hoc network (as shown by "netsh wlan show networks") into the "Network name" field
    • configure security settings accordingly
    • uncheck "Start this connection automatically" (important)

    ...without using the windows dialogs?
