Script to automatically refresh my WiFi connection

Hello @spapakons,

That said, is there a script I can run to automatically refresh my WiFi connection?

Is there any script I could run to do that for me? Disconnect temporarily (even for 1 sec) and then reconnect automatically so I will be able to connect remotely again?

Here is something that I wrote for ME [ but it might help you ] that does this for Wi-Fi whenever I need to Disable and then Enable it.

First though, you will need to find out what the actual Wi-Fi Name is.

To do that, in a CMD prompt, Copy & Paste the following command and press Enter . . .

Code:

PowerShell "Get-NetAdapter -Name * | Select Name, InterfaceDescription, Status | Format-Table -AutoSize | Out-String -Width 1000"

Then change Wi-Fi in set "Name=Wi-Fi" in the below Script to that of the Name specified in the above output and save it as a .bat file. This will work if you have more than ONE Wi-Fi adapter as you are hardcoding the Name into the Script . . .

Code:

@echo off
if not "%1"=="max" start /max cmd /c %0 max & Exit/b

set "Name=Wi-Fi"

:Check_Network_Status

echo. & echo  Processing [ Current Network Status ] . . .

              wmic nic get name, index
              netsh interface show interface
              ipconfig /all
echo. & echo  ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
echo. & echo  Processing Complete.
echo. & echo ^>Press ANY key to return to the Options . . . & pause >nul & cls & goto :Options

:Reset_Wi-Fi

echo. & echo  Processing [ Resetting Network Adapter ] . . .
echo. & echo  ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
              netsh interface set interface "%Name%" disable >nul
              netsh interface set interface "%Name%" enable & timeout /t 3 /nobreak >nul
        echo  Current Network Adapter Status:
              netsh interface show interface
        echo  ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
echo. & echo  Processing Complete.
echo. & echo ^>Press ANY key to EXIT . . . & pause >nul & Exit

I hope this helps.

I have a script.
- It disables then re-enables the WiFi adapter
- It automatically detects the WiFi adapter name then uses that in the relevant commands.
- It assumes that there is only one WiFi adapter. This avoids having to include checks of multiple adapters being detected.
- I run it from an Admin shortcut set to run minimised.
- The two netsh commands are the ones that necessitate the Admin permission.
- I do not need any delay between the disable & re-enable commands but I added a remarked out one for you to experiment with.
- There is no user interaction because none is required.
- I have been using this script for at least six years on multiple computers without any glitches occurring.

DisableEnableWiFiCard.bat

Code:

:: This script will enable-disable the last-found WiFi adapter name so is really only suitable for single-WiFi-adapter computers 
:: Written by Denis, Try3
:: The WiFi switch, if one exists, must be turned on
:: I always run this using an Admin shortcut set to run minimised so I don't bother suppressing with @echo off

prompt $g

Set /a Found=0
set FindString=Name
Set UseExpresssion=netsh wlan show interfaces 
for /F "tokens=*" %%X IN ('%UseExpresssion%  ^|   find /i "%FindString%"') do Call :Interfaces "%%X"
GoTo EndGetWiFi

:Interfaces
:: Detect the WiFi adapter name
Set ThisLine=%~1
Set AdapterName=%ThisLine:*: =%
GoTo :EOF

:EndGetWiFi
:: Do the disabling-enabling
netsh interface set interface "%AdapterName%" disabled
     :: If you need a delay between disabling and re-enabling then this is where you'd put it
     :: Sample delay 1 second
     :: TIMEOUT /T 1 >nul
netsh interface set interface "%AdapterName%" enabled
::Pause to check outcome during testing

All the best,
Denis

Hello @spapakons,

Was the code that Denis and I gave you any good?
