Properties
| NetworkAdapter |
Important Location consent is now required for Wi-Fi BSSID access. For details on how this affects apps using Wi-Fi or location APIs, see Changes to API behavior for Wi-Fi access and location. Gets information about a Wi-Fi adapter. |
| NetworkReport |
Important Location consent is now required for Wi-Fi BSSID access. For details on how this affects apps using Wi-Fi or location APIs, see Changes to API behavior for Wi-Fi access and location. Gets a list of available networks populated by the last Wi-Fi scan on this WiFiNetworkAdapter. |
Methods
| ConnectAsync(WiFiAvailableNetwork, WiFiReconnectionKind, PasswordCredential, String, WiFiConnectionMethod) |
Important Location consent is now required for Wi-Fi BSSID access. For details on how this affects apps using Wi-Fi or location APIs, see Changes to API behavior for Wi-Fi access and location. Connect this Wi-Fi device to a hidden network, with the given passphrase, connection method, and reconnection policy. |
| ConnectAsync(WiFiAvailableNetwork, WiFiReconnectionKind, PasswordCredential, String) |
Important Location consent is now required for Wi-Fi BSSID access. For details on how this affects apps using Wi-Fi or location APIs, see Changes to API behavior for Wi-Fi access and location. Connect this Wi-Fi device to a hidden network, with the given passphrase and reconnection policy. |
| ConnectAsync(WiFiAvailableNetwork, WiFiReconnectionKind, PasswordCredential) |
Important Location consent is now required for Wi-Fi BSSID access. For details on how this affects apps using Wi-Fi or location APIs, see Changes to API behavior for Wi-Fi access and location. Connect this Wi-Fi device to the specified network, with the specified passphrase and reconnection policy. |
| ConnectAsync(WiFiAvailableNetwork, WiFiReconnectionKind) |
Important Location consent is now required for Wi-Fi BSSID access. For details on how this affects apps using Wi-Fi or location APIs, see Changes to API behavior for Wi-Fi access and location. Connect this Wi-Fi device to the specified network, with the specified reconnection policy. |
| Disconnect() |
Important Location consent is now required for Wi-Fi BSSID access. For details on how this affects apps using Wi-Fi or location APIs, see Changes to API behavior for Wi-Fi access and location. Disconnects any active Wi-Fi connection through this adapter. |
| FindAllAdaptersAsync() |
Important Location consent is now required for Wi-Fi BSSID access. For details on how this affects apps using Wi-Fi or location APIs, see Changes to API behavior for Wi-Fi access and location. A static method that initiates an asynchronous operation to enumerate all Wi-Fi adapters in the system. Note that if you do not specify that your app has the wiFiControl capability in your app manifest, this method fails. |
| FromIdAsync(String) |
Important Location consent is now required for Wi-Fi BSSID access. For details on how this affects apps using Wi-Fi or location APIs, see Changes to API behavior for Wi-Fi access and location. A static method that initiates an asynchronous operation to get a WiFiAdapter object. Note that if you do not specify that your app has the wiFiControl capability in your app manifest, this method fails. |
| GetDeviceSelector() |
Important Location consent is now required for Wi-Fi BSSID access. For details on how this affects apps using Wi-Fi or location APIs, see Changes to API behavior for Wi-Fi access and location. A static method that returns an Advanced Query Syntax (AQS) string to be used to enumerate Wi-Fi adapters using Windows.Devices.Enumeration.DeviceInformation.FindAllAsync and related methods. |
| GetWpsConfigurationAsync(WiFiAvailableNetwork) |
Important Location consent is now required for Wi-Fi BSSID access. For details on how this affects apps using Wi-Fi or location APIs, see Changes to API behavior for Wi-Fi access and location. Performs WPS discovery to query the WPS methods supported by the network. |
| RequestAccessAsync() |
Important Location consent is now required for Wi-Fi BSSID access. For details on how this affects apps using Wi-Fi or location APIs, see Changes to API behavior for Wi-Fi access and location. A static method for determining whether the current user can access any of the Wi-Fi adapters on this device. Note that if you do not specify that your app has the wiFiControl capability in your app manifest, this method always returns DeniedBySystem. Always returns DeniedBySystem on Xbox. |
| ScanAsync() |
Important Location consent is now required for Wi-Fi BSSID access. For details on how this affects apps using Wi-Fi or location APIs, see Changes to API behavior for Wi-Fi access and location. Directs this adapter to initiate an asynchronous network scan. |
Events
| AvailableNetworksChanged |
Important Location consent is now required for Wi-Fi BSSID access. For details on how this affects apps using Wi-Fi or location APIs, see Changes to API behavior for Wi-Fi access and location. Event raised when a scan completes on this Wi-Fi adapter. This event cannot be raised from a background task. |
