I want to build something like a network scanner, so that I see in my application on which AccessPoint I'm on and what parameters this net has. Some interesting point would be ESSID, signal strength, noise, channel. Are theses properties device independent or do I have to interface each device independently? ...
I am currently developing an app targeted for the HP IPAQ 210. Part of this app requires the WLAN radio to be enabled/powered on to connect to a pre-configured access point. I'm currently using the IPAQ SDK (via P/Invoke) to enable the WLAN radio, but I'm having trouble reliably determining when the radio has established a connection w...
I assume that the iPhone Wi-Fi hardware is able to switch between channels, since my WLAN router shows me channel 1 to 13. So that WLAN spectrum must be devided up into those, I think. I would like to observe the signal strength from a specific channel within my app. Is there a way to get this data? ...
I have been working on this for a few days and this is doing my head in: Our application is built using the .NET Compact Framework 2.0 and running on Windows Mobile 5 & 6 devices. We can set the WLAN connection of the device programmatically using the Wireless Zero Config functions (described here: msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms89...
Hi All, Can I use the native WIFI API's (WLAN) for quering about a USB Data card which i have connected to my PC? If yes, can i get a sample code? Thanks in Advance. Best Regards, Suren ...
Hi I am using WLAN Api i.e WlanGetAvailableNetworkList() for signal strength of wireless lan modem/USB datacard.If somebody have some sample code example or some information pls send me. ...
Windows 7 has a (neat?) new feature called a 'virtual wireless adapter'. Read about it here: http://www.istartedsomething.com/20090516/windows-7-native-virtual-wifi-technology-microsoft-research/ I have an application that directly controls the windows wifi interface card using the Native Wifi API ( http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/li...
I tried to get information about available networks using WMI. Unfortunately I always get an empty list. I tried it both via VBScript (using http://www.scriptinternals.com/new/us/support/Internal/WMI%5FMSNdis%5F80211%5FBSSIList.htm) and with Jacob package for Java. It seems that winmgmts://localhost/root/WMI / MSNdis_80211_BSSIList and ...
Many scientists have published papers documenting how devices connected via WLAN can be tracked by measuring its Signal Strength, Time Of Arrival, Round Trip Time, etc. Any idea how I can access these values in Windows using any .NET API? Or do you know of software SDKs already available for location tracking? ...
Lets say I have my C# app installed on 2 laptops connected to a WiFi Wireless Local Area Network. How can these apps send messages to each other? What method or library can I use? I heard of using sockets but I have no idea how to work with these. ...
In my office building we have laptops on multiple floors all running a WCF Service. When WCF services communicate with each other, will a message for an out-of-range device automatically reach it by multi-hopping? Does WCF/the WLAN device driver handle this? Or do I have to detect if a device is not contactable/out-of-range and implement...
I have 2 windows PC's connected over an ad-hoc wlan network. Using this existing connection can I communicate between these pc's via sockets? Can I open a server socket on one pc and make the other pc a client and connect to the other pc and then send and receive data over this connection? Do I need a specific api for this or can I just ...
I want to get the status (only once) of the cell connection and the network connection. I don't want the overhead of actually making the network request as my app is not going to use services. Basically I just want to know what the two icons in the uper left are saying. All possible states for cell/network are: cell/3g cell/edge cel...
I am getting encrypted value for the "Key Material" tag only in vista...After some googling i found that "CryptUnprotectData" method can be used to decript it..But i dont find any way to implement and get the decrypted value... If any one have suggestions to use it please help me out ...
How can I retrieve the signal strength of nearby wireless LAN networks on Windows using Python? I would like to either show or graph the values. ...
In my university there's a certain wlan network open for the students and employees. To use it, however, one must first log in via a website using your own username and password. This can also be done by submitting a http request with the right POST-data to the same website. I already have a shell script that does this but I'm still curi...
I have a Mac software client that sets up a Mac for a new internet connection via a DSL modem. Some devices have a WiFi access point and so the software sets up the user's Mac so it can connect to it wirelessly as well. This all works fine on Mac OS X 10.4.x to 10.6.x (the latter via CoreWLAN framework now). Once. The problem is that t...
Hi, I'm developing an application using Visual Studios 2010 C# running on a Windows 7 Professional machine. In my application, I am trying to read the RSSI of a WLAN AP on a specific WiFi channel, regardless if my WLAN radio / bridge is connected to an AP or not. I've search different forums and tried implementing sample codes that I f...
Hi programmers, does anybody of you know some code snippets on opening an CFSOCKET and sending a two byte sequence via TCP/IP to a WLAN module, which is programmed to serialnet, listening on PORT 5100, the IP-address of the modul is: 192.168.100.1. I try to get those two bytes out of a UART of the WLAN module. I have bought "pTerm" and...
Is it possible to easily resolve all Apple OSX devices connected to a single LAN network (the same switch / hub is enough)? I know OSX provides Bonjour service and you can easily query other Macs connected to the network. But I am not sure whether iPhone / iPods provide similar identification. The identification should be device id - in...
