Release Notes

Release Notes

Minor Update V2.1.1.0:
   Ssid and Bssid Autocompleter didn't like that the Radio was off so fixed it.

MINOR UPDATE v2.1.0.0:
   Change to the Await function
      Changed the time out of the await function now no longer indefinitly default its 10 sec its adjustable between 1 and 60 sec
      You can Adjust the timeout at function call with -TimeoutMS 12345 when available

Added functionality to the Connect-WifiNetwork cmdlet:
Wi-Fi Reconnection Options: Now you can switch between Automatic and Manual reconnection with the -WifiReconnectionKind parameter.
Automatic is the default.
Example: Connect-WifiNetwork -ssid "WifiNetworkName" -WifiReconnectionKind Manual

Improved network filtering for specific network adapters:
You can now filter available Wi-Fi networks by a specific network adapter. Use the -DeviceName parameter for clarity.
Example: Get-WifiAvailableNetworks -DeviceName "[Your Adapter Name]"
This will return all networks available for that specific adapter.

Multi-Adapter Support:
Now supports targeting specific Wi-Fi adapters with the -Index parameter. This allows users to specify which adapter to use for connecting.

Intelligent Connection:
The cmdlet now automatically connects to available Windows profiles if they exist, saving users time.

Enhanced User Experience (UX):
Tab-completion now works for hardware names, improving ease of use.

Network Cache Update:
A new function has been added to Search-WiFiNetworks to update the cached list of available networks, ensuring that the list is up-to-date.
Hidden Network Support:

You can now connect to hidden Wi-Fi networks using the -Hidden flag. Note that when connecting to a hidden SSID, you must specify the SSID manually.
Example: Connect-WiFiNetwork -Hidden -bssid 11:22:33:44:55:66 -ssid "YourHiddenSSID"
The -BSSID can be used to specifically target access points or to choose between the 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz bands.

Remark:
The BSSID allows targeting specific access points, which can be useful for controlling network selection, especially in areas with multiple access points or dual-band routers.
