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?

 

Just upgraded to 10. On the first restart, I can not connect to wifi.


On the screen it says my name and the next button. I click next and it gives a list of wifi networks. I click on my network and it will not connect. I go stand next to the router and it will not connect. My only options are next or back, no task bars nothing. I hope that someone can help.

 

I just recieved the Windows 10 upgrade. What is a metered account?


I haven't faced that particular problem, but it may have to do with your WiFi settings.

I suggest turning off the switch that permits automatically connecting to suggested networks. There's also a setting that allows people on your contacts list to connect to your network without a password.

It seems odd that you'd be connecting to one of your neighbor's WiFi, but I can't say that it's impossible. If that is your problem, you should be able to set things up to only use your network.
