Get-WiFiProfile and Get-WifiAvailableNetwork return a ProfileName. I'd like to understand how this corresponds to other similar names. I have attached a screenshot to illustrate my questions.

1. Is ProfileName the same as the name in the Windows Settings->Wi-Fi dialog list?
2. Will ProfileName always exactly match the WiFi network's SSID as reported by Get-WifiAvailableNetwork, assuming the WiFi network is available?
3. How can I correlate a network in Get-WiFiAvailableNetwork with an active connection? In the screenshot below, how do I know whether WiFi profile lep22pard or gal47lows is active on InterfaceIndex 9? In this case lep22pard is on 5 GHz and gal47lows is on 2.4 GHz from the same AP.

Originally I thought the WiFi ProfileName corresponded to the Windows network name in Get-NetConnectionProfile and the control panel, but I see that is not always the case, as with "leppard 2" in the screenshot.

Using command:

Remove-WiFiProfile -ProfileName <SSID>

Return code: -37104

I'm experiencing a similar issue that was described in #31 but I'm not having any WMI issues. Is this a bug? I appreciate any help!

$WiFiAdapterName = 'Wi-Fi' in private function Get-WiFiInterfaceGuid doesn't work for non English Windows locales, because the name of WiFi adapter is another.

Would it be possible make a command0 that showed which wifi-network you were connected to? Something like Get-WifiConnectedProfile or Get-WifiConnection?

I have a computer returning the the message in the title. There is a wireless card in it and it works. netsh wlan show interfaces returns it, screenshots attached

Looking to retrieve a value based on whether a WifiProfile was successfully removed or their was an error. For instance if the Profile did not exist I want to have it return an error. I'm not seeing any way in the documentation to access this information currently.

Example would be:

try { Remove-WifiProfile -ProfileName $WifiProfile } catch { Write-Host ("Profile does not exist. Please enter Wifi Profile again.") $WifiProfile = Read-Host ("Wifi Profile") }

Add the WlanScan function to scan (search) for WiFi networks

Why is https://github.com/jcwalker/WiFiProfileManagement/blob/dev/Public/Set-WiFiProfile.ps1#L18 limited to "PEAP"(aka MSCHAPv2) or "TLS".? I'm curious if this is a Powershell limitation or just a feature not yet considered for this project.

I've got a few machines that have default WiFi adapters not called 'Wi-Fi' which can't be renamed (no idea why).

I can put together a PR to change this modules behavior so that anytime it currently relies on defaulting to WiFiAdapterName='WiFi' it instead enumerates and uses all WiFi adapters. This would mean the exported functions would "just work" with non standard adapter names and multiple adapters without having to remember to pass the WiFiAdapterName parameter.

The https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms706716(v=vs.85).aspx API should provide what I need.

If I put a PR together to do this would it be accepted (in principal)?

Thanks

my network adapter was renamed from the default to wlan0.

Thank you for making all these P.S. available, but I realized when creating new profiles, setting new profiles I do not see possible to add the user and the user password that will connect to the wi-fi.

I just wanted to send you a note. You can close this issue.

I updated to PowerShell 5.0. But Get-NetAdapter only appears on Windows 8 and later.

Is there any way of specifying the authentication mode as 'User or computer authentication'?
