Automatically disable and re-enable network connection after a number of ping timeouts.


Recommended Posts

After searching this forum a solution very close to what I need was found. But I need it to disable and enable the connection after a number of timeouts (4). How do I go about this?

 

$var = Ping("8.8.8.8",250)
If @error Then
    netsh interface set interface name="Wireless Network Connection" admin=ENABLED"
    Sleep(1000)
    netsh interface set interface name="Wireless Network Connection" admin=ENABLED"
EndIf

You could do it this way:

#RequireAdmin
While 1
    $Ping = Ping("8.8.8.8")
    If $Ping > 0 Then
        $Reset = 0
    Else
        $Reset += 1
    EndIf
    If $Reset = 4 Then
        RunWait(@ComSpec & " /c netsh interface set interface name=Wi-Fi admin=disabled")
        Sleep(3000)
        RunWait(@ComSpec & " /c netsh interface set interface name=Wi-Fi admin=enabled")
        $Reset = 0
        Sleep(5000)
    EndIf
    Sleep(1000)
WEnd

This will ping 8.8.8.8 in a loop every 1 second. If it fails to ping it 4 times in a row, it disables the wifi, waits until the command has ended, waits another 3 seconds, then reenables it and waits 5 seconds after that to give your computer time to reconnect to the network.  You can play around with the sleep commands to accommodate your environment.

If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.

I hereby grant any person the right to use any code I post, that I am the original author of, on the autoitscript.com forums, unless I've specifically stated otherwise in the code or the thread post. If you do use my code all I ask, as a courtesy, is to make note of where you got it from.
