In windows 7, how to check from command-line if the wifi hardware switch is on or off ?
I will show you what happens when you toggle the hardware switch so that you may understand what exactly I am looking for.
Click on Start > Run > mblctr
. This will launch the windows mobility center.
When the hardware switch is ON , the turn wireless off(or on)
button will be clickable
Similarly, when the hardware switch is OFF, the turn wireless on(or off)
button is greyed out.
Here is one of my videos where you can see the simulation
I have referred to this question , but the person is asking how to switch it from on to off. I just want to know how to check the status.
I have also seen checked out commands like netsh interface show interface
but this shows whether the adapter is disabled or enabled.
Please help.
inferential
method rather than a direct method of finding out the status of the switch. In my case when I push the switchOFF
my wireless saysNot Connected
AND my bluetooth network isOFF
. So when these two conditions are met, you can infer that the switch is inOFF
