How to connect to Wi-Fi in powershell, knowing the SSID and password?

Question

How to connect to Wi-Fi in PowerShell in the same way as through the GUI, but using code? what commands do i use? I know the SSID and password.

EDIT: I never connected to it, so this is new wifi.

Answer 1

netsh wlan connect ssid=YOURSSID name=PROFILENAME

it should be...

EDIT: try this, it just worked for me :)

netsh wlan connect ssid="YOURSSID" key="YOURPW"

Answer 2

This is not Powershell, but it works in every version 10 (currently 1903). I have a package and XML on a flash drive with which I run it. With it, I do not need to remember or write down the password / key in the XML file.

Batch file:

Netsh WLAN delete profile "SSID"
Netsh WLAN add profile filename=".\WhateverYouWantToCallIt.XML"
Netsh WLAN connect name="$NAME"
