I want to make a tool for cmd where you specify a password and said and it connects you to the WiFi network. I am aware of the netsh wlan connect command but it use saved wifis
Thanks in advance

*edit
Found it was too hard with cmd so I opened up to any other language, any help is appreciated.
*edit2
Found it can be done in batch by writing a custom XML file with the key and ssid, then importing the ssid with the command netsh wlan add profile <path to xml>. Then connect to the imported XML with netsh wlan connect (xml name)
I don't want to answer this officially because I might be wrong
I am unable to connect to Wi-Fi using command prompt. I want to connect to Wi-Fi using command prompt as per my requirement. I can't use GUI controls or any other third party tools for this purpose
Here is what I am doing:
I am adding the wi-fi profile using command:
netsh wlan add profile filename="PATH_TO_FILE.XML" interface="Wi-Fi"
Wi-Fi profile file looks like:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<WLANProfile xmlns="http://www.microsoft.com/networking/WLAN/profile/v1">
<name>WiFi-ProfileName</name>
<SSIDConfig>
<SSID>
<hex>12346692D57617477617331</hex>
<name>WiFi-SSID</name>
</SSID>
<nonBroadcast>true</nonBroadcast>
</SSIDConfig>
<connectionType>ESS</connectionType>
<connectionMode>auto</connectionMode>
<MSM>
<security>
<authEncryption>
<authentication>WPA2PSK</authentication>
<encryption>AES</encryption>
<useOneX>false</useOneX>
</authEncryption>
<sharedKey>
<keyType>passPhrase</keyType>
<protected>true</protected>
<keyMaterial>KEY_IS_REMOVED_TO_SHOW_THE_FILE_OF_THE_CONTENT_HERE</keyMaterial>
</sharedKey>
</security>
</MSM>
</WLANProfile>
To connect to Wi-Fi network using I am using command:
netsh wlan connect ssid="WiFi-SSID" name="WiFi-ProfileName" interface="Wi-Fi"
After running this command, command prompt is showing a message that Connection request was completed successfully, but machine is not connecting the Wi-Fi at all.
Am I missing some setting to set any kind of permission or its something else?
When I make wifi hot spot through Virtual router on laptop, Its work fine but when I go through my Desktop it syas "Group & resources are not in correct state". I using n 150 micro adapter in my destop PC. Does Virtual router not support to external wifi adapter. Please help me to solve this.
Open an elevated Command Prompt window
Run:
netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow
I am converting my latop to a wifi hotspot I tried as shown in image
Need help what am I doing wrong? My mobile is not having any internet access?
I had once used my laptop as Wifi hotspot by creating a network using the wlan command and then sharing my regular wired internet connection to this network.
You can get the step-by-step instructions from this link.
Reason: I think, problem is your driver or your command.
Soluntion:
You can do step over step:
Check drivers
netsh wlan show drivers
Create wifi
netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow ssid=wifi-windows key=12345678
Start wifi
netsh wlan start hostednetwork
Stop wifi
netsh wlan stop hostednetwork
Delete
netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=disallow ssid=wifi-windows key=12345678
Then you can create shortcut.

I disabled and re-enabled it many times. Still no clue whats goin wrong I always get the error saying
"C:\Windows\system32>netsh wlan start hostednetwork
The hosted network couldn't be started.
A device attached to the system is not functioning."
The commands before that are running perfectly. The virtual adapter and everything is also enabled.
netsh wlan show hostednetwork
C:\Windows\system32> netsh wlan show hostednetwork
Hosted network settings
Mode : Allowed
SSID name : "Lathiyas"
Max number of clients : 100
Authentication : WPA2-Personal
Cipher : CCMP
Hosted network status
Status : Not started
Then tried stopping the hostednetwork and tried again still the same error. I think there is some problem with the drivers. Dell N5010 Windows 7-32bit system. Please help.
First of all go to the device manager now go to View>>select Show hidden devices....Then go to network adapters and find out Microsoft Hosted network Virual Adapter ....Press right click and enable the option....
Then go to command prompt with administrative privileges and enter the following commands:
netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow
netsh wlan start hostednetwork
Your Hostednetwork will work without any problems.
At first simply uninstall wifi drivers and softwares
just keep wifi drivers
+
from device manager....network adapters...remove all virtual connections
then
Press the Windows + R key combination to bring up a run box, type ncpa.cpl and hit enter.
netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow ssid=”How-To Geek” key=”Pa$$w0rd”
netsh wlan start hostednetwork
netsh wlan show hostednetwork
its working for me and on others PC.
Same issue.
I solved the problem first activating (right click mouse and select activate) from control panel (network connections) and later changing to set mode to allow (by netsh command), to finally starting the hostednetwork with other netsh command, that is:
1.- Activate (Network Connections) by right click
2.- netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow
3.- netsh wlan start hosted network
Good luck mate !!!
If none of the above solution worked for you, locate the Wifi adapter from "Control Panel\Network and Internet\Network Connections", right click on it, and select "Diagnose", then follow the given instructions on the screen. It worked for me.
netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow ssid=dhiraj key=7870049877
If you have a wifi button or switch on your laptop make sure it is turned on! Then use the netsh commands that other people have stated
This was a real issue for me, and quite a sneaky problem to try and remedy...
The problem I had was that a module that was installed on my WiFi adapter was conflicting with the Microsoft Virtual Adapter (or whatever it's actually called).
To fix it:
Hold the Windows Key + Push R
Type: ncpa.cpl in to the box, and hit OK.
Identify the network adapter you want to use for the hostednetwork, right-click it, and select Properties.
You'll see a big box in the middle of the properties window, under the heading The connection uses the following items:. Look down the list for anything that seems out of the ordinary, and uncheck it. Hit OK.
Try running the netsh wlan start hostednetwork command again.
Repeat steps 4 and 5 as necessary.
In my case my adapter was running a module called SoftEther Lightweight Network Protocol, which I believe is used to help connect to VPN Gate VPN servers via the SoftEther software.
If literally nothing else works, then I'd suspect something similar to the problem I encountered, namely that a module on your network adapter is interfering with the hostednetwork aspect of your driver.
