  1. Wi-Fi networks deleted by command prompt


    Hi folksI have Wi-Fi connectivity issues. I thought it was due to the fact that all my neighbours Wi-Fi networks keep getting automatically ticked despite me never having ticked them. I deleted or blocked not sure which all the visible Wi-Fi connections using command prompt as I read this was an option to resolve my problem but it also got rid of my own WiFi network which I expected but also thought retrieving that one would be easy. I cannot see it when I click on the globe Wi-Fi icon, I just want to get it back, even if all the neighbours networks show up auto ticked again.

    :)

  2. Connect to a Wi-Fi network using Command Prompt

    > I have a perfectly working Wi-Fi USB Adapter with latest driver installed. I can connect to any Wi-Fi network using the Windows GUI i.e. clicking on "Network" icon on the "Task Bar" & selecting a Wi-Fi network.

    > But I want to connect to a Wi-Fi network using the "Command Prompt". I have tried almost all the "netsh wlan" commands while running the Command Prompt with Administrative Privilege.

    > So here is a scenario, I have 3 available Wi-Fi networks (SSIDs) & i want to connect to only one of them. None of these Wi-Fi networks have never been saved or connected to before my PC ever. So my assumption is that there are no Saved Profiles.

    > FYI; I know the SSID, Password, MAC Address etc of each & every one of these available Wi-Fi networks as they are all my own.

    >> Please tell me a simple command to connect to a specific Wi-Fi network from a number of available ones.

  3. Connect to a Wi-Fi network using Command Prompt

    Thank you so much for replying to quick. Any way after entering "netsh wlan export hostednetworkprofile", I got this output, "Profile to connect to the hosted network is saved successfully in file "TestWiFi.xml".". Then using the "netsh wlan
    connect TestWiFi
    " connected me to the desired Wi-Fi netowrk with this output, "Connection request was completed successfully.".

    But I also found that simply connecting to a Wi-Fi netowrk creates a profile, so even if I skip the "netsh wlan export hostednetworkprofile", I can simply connect to the saved Wi-Fi network by using the "netsh wlan connect TestWiFi" command
    or "netsh wlan connect ssid=TestWiFi name=TestWiFi" or "netsh wlan connect name=TestWiFi".

    But can anyone please tell me how to connect to a Wi-Fi network which was never connected to a PC using command prompt. I have the SSID & password, so how can I connect to this network via command prompt? ​​​​​​​

    USB Wi-Fi not working on Windows 10 after it has been working perfectly

    My USB Wi-Fi does not work any more

    Please do the following:

    1. Reinstall any drivers required for your USB Wi-Fi.

      You can skip this step if no special drivers are needed.
    2. Delete the Wi-Fi Network Profile. See below for instructions.
    3. Create a new Wi-Fi connection.

    How do I delete a Wi-Fi Network Profile on Windows 10?
