wifi-list-windows

Like mafintosh/wifi-list, but for Windows

Example

var wifiList = require('wifi-list-windows')

wifiList(function (err, networks) {
	if (err) throw err
	console.log(networks)
})

Running the above will list nearby wifi networks.

API

var wifiList = require('wifi-list-windows')

wifiList(cb)

Looks up the list of networks. Calls cb(err, networks) when it's ready.

• err (null|Error) If an error occurs, networks will be undefined, and err will be an Error object.
• networks (array of objects|undefined) If no error occurs, networks will be an array of objects with the following properties. Note that the array might be empty, meaning it detected no networks.
  • ssid (string) The SSID/network name.
  • networkType (string) E.g. "Infrastructure", "Adhoc"
  • authentication (string) E.g. "Open", "WPA2-Personal"
  • encryption (string)
  • bssid (string) Hex string, e.g. "15:9e:f2:29:33:e5"
  • channel (number) Integer between 1 and 14
  • signal (number) Floating point number between 0 and 1 that indicates the strength of the signal. Closer to 0 is a weaker signal. Closer to 1 is a stronger signal.
  • radioType (string) E.g. "802.11n"
  • basicRatesMbps (string) I don't know what this means. If you do, please make a PR that fixes this line!
  • otherRatesMbps (string) I don't know what this means. If you do, please make a PR that fixes this line!
