Showing Wi-Fi SSIDs

by Jul 27, 2020

In the previous tip we illustrated how you can dump all Wi-Fi profile names using netsh.exe. Typically, profile names and SSIDs are identical. However, if you are interested in the true Wi-Fi SSID names, you can query these directly by dumping individual profiles and using a wildcard for the profile name:

 
PS> netsh wlan show profile name="*" key=clear |
 Where-Object { $_ -match "SSID name\s*:\s(.*)$"} |
 ForEach-Object { $matches[1].Replace('"','') }
