OS: Vista enterprise

When i switch between my home and office network, i always face issues with getting connected to the network. Almost always I have to use the diagnostic service in ‘Network and sharing center’ and the problem gets solved when i use the reset network adapter option.

This takes a lot of time (3-4 min) and so i was trying to find either a command or a powershell script/cmdlet which i can use directly to reset the network adapter and save myself these 5 mins every time i have to switch between the networks. Any pointers?

  1. You can use WMI from within PowerShell to accomplish this. Assuming there is a network adapter who’s device name has Wireless in it, the series of commands might look something like the following:

    $adaptor = Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_NetworkAdapter | Where-Object {$_.Name -like '*Wireless*'} $adaptor.Disable() $adaptor.Enable()

    Remember, if you’re running this with Window’s Vista, you may need to run the PowerShell as Administrator.
