Solution 2
Same as PeeHaa
Usage: connect [name=]<string> [[ssid=]<string>] [[interface=]<string>]
but Scott Hanselman provides good information on most netsh wlan commands.
D:\>netsh wlan
The following commands are available:
Commands in this context:
? - Displays a list of commands.
add - Adds a configuration entry to a table.
connect - Connects to a wireless network.
delete - Deletes a configuration entry from a table.
disconnect - Disconnects from a wireless network.
dump - Displays a configuration script.
export - Saves WLAN profiles to XML files.
help - Displays a list of commands.
refresh - Refresh hosted network settings.
reportissues - Generate WLAN smart trace report.
set - Sets configuration information.
show - Displays information.
start - Start hosted network.
stop - Stop hosted network.
To view help for a command, type the command, followed by a space, and then
type ?.
Solution 3
To disconnect from a wireless network
netsh wlan disconnect interface="wireless adapter name"
To connect to a wireless network
netsh wlan connect name="wireless network profile name" ssid="As you known" interface="wireless adapter name"
You can get profile name, interface name by
netsh wlan show interface/profile
You will need to create a profile for the wireless network first which you can do in "Wireless network management" under "Network and sharing center" in Control panel.

I searched a lot related to
netsh
andipconfig /renew
andipconfig /release
.My idea is to write a batch file that would automatically connect to a particular wireless local area network using a network interface .
I tried using
ipconfig /renew release
... but it cannot be used as my intention is to keep the media in a disconnected state before running the batch file ..any suggestions ?
Edit:
Narrowed it down to
connect name=Profile2 ssid=SSID2 interface="Wireless Network Connection"
Where do i find the "name" in network and sharing center?

Admin almost 13 yearsHi Peehaa thanks for quick reply :) ... I tried that too .. the same poster says that the method has been lost and has been downgraded ...

PeeHaa almost 13 years@HelloWorld_Always: The poster says the reason the method got lost is because he downgraded his OS from Vista -> XP. So I don't know what clients you want to support with the batch file, but I you use >= Vista you should be ok. What error did you get when trying the method or are you on XP?
