Change Wireless Connection on a Schedule

Question

How can I change my wireless network connection to another connection on a schedule in Windows 7?

Answer 1

If you have the wireless connection saved, you can use the netsh wlan connect command and the Task Scheduler.

Click the Start button and type Task Scheduler, then press Enter or select the Task Scheduler from the list.

Click the Task Scheduler Library in the left sidebar and click Create Task in the right sidebar.

Set your triggers to the schedule you want. In the Actions tab, click New.

In the New Action dialog, use the options below:

• Action: Start a program
• Program/script: netsh
• Add arguments (optional): WLAN CONNECT "Network" where "Network" is the name of your network.

Note that the name of your network must match exactly, including capitalization. Ex: "wifi" is not the same as "WiFi". The quotation marks are only necessary if your network name has spaces in it.
