Advanced WiFi-Manager is a developer tool that allows you to manage wireless networks and settings in Windows 2000, 2003, XP and Vista using one set of API functions.
Features: Advanced WiFi-Manager is a development kit for developers who need to manage wireless networks. It does not depend on what service pack or a hot-fix is installed or not. It uses one set of API functions for working with Windows 2000, XP or Vista. There`s a COM interface too available so that that lets you control WiFi settings from VB or VB.NET and C#. Windows have several means of accessing and managing wireless networks such as Wireless zero configuration (AZC) API or direct NDIS calls or Native WiFi API and this kit can use any and all of that. Windows x64 versions are also supported. It does that for enumerating WiFi adapters, listing available networks, functions for working with network profiles and so on.
The API not only enumerates WiFi adapters but it can get and set their properties as well. Enumeration of available networks also includes getting their properties functionality. It can work with open, shared, WPA, WPA-PSK, WPA2, WPA2-PSJK authentication as well as WEP, TKIP and AES data encryption. Connect/disconnect with wireless networks is available too. Functionalities in creating wireless profiles include create, load, save and change network profiles. For XP SP2 and Vista environments profiles can be saved/ stored in XML format based on Vista native WiFi specs. Whether you are working with Windows firewall or with general network adapters functionalities are available to make your job easier. Operational functions such as pinging, setting, getting IP addresses of adapters etc makes working easy.
It can work with any language that supports DLL or COM objects. It supports Unicode and sample source code for interfacing in several languages are provided.
Overall: A very comprehensive toolkit for implementing wireless network support. Comprehensive API documentation.
