Recommended Posts

In earlier versions of windows that was easy to manage wireless networks but there is no such option in windows 8 control panel and this feature is being removed now in windows 8 to mange wireless networks. There are some CMD commands available to manage wireless networks profiles bt the aren't so helpful.

netsh wlan show profiles

To see stored wireless profiles, type:

" netsh wlan show profiles"

To see the stored key (WPA/WEP/etc) of a specific profile:

netsh wlan show profiles name=[profile name] key=clear

You'll find the key content under security settings.

To delete a stored profile:

netsh wlan delete profile name=[profile name]

One of my problem:

I've created 3 wireless profiles their names " TP-LINK1 TP-LINK1 2 TP-LINK1 2 3"

For example: I want to delete two profiles of them so i'll use this command " netsh wlan delete profile name=TP-LINK1" this command will successfully delete TP-LINK1

now with the same command when I tried to delete the second one "TP-LINK1 2" it failed to delete reason there is space between "1 2'

my problem is!!! this delete command doesn't delete profiles which have space between them

TP-LINK1 = deleted cause no space

TP-LINK1 2 = failed to delete cause space between TP-LINK1 and 2

To delete the 2nd profile use the following command:-

netsh wlan delete profile name="TP-LINK1 2"

To delete the 3rd profile use the following command:-

netsh wlan delete profile name="TP-LINK1 2 3"

And how to use this one please with detail " netsh wlan show profiles name=[profile name] key=clear"

That command will merely display that security key for the associated profile that's out of range of the network.
