How to connect to a wifi in powershell knowing the SSID and password?

Question

How can I connect to a wifi in powershell just like through GUI but by using code? what commands do I use? I know the SSID and the password.

EDIT: I have never connected to it before so it is a new wifi.

Answer 1

netsh wlan connect ssid=YOURSSID name=PROFILENAME

this should be it...

EDIT: Try this, just worked for me :)

netsh wlan connect ssid="YOURSSID" key="YOURPW"

Answer 2

This isn't Powershell, but it works in every version of 10 so far (currently on 1903). I have the batch and XML on a flash drive that I run it from. With it in the xml file, I don't have to remember or write down the password/key.

Batch file:

Netsh WLAN delete profile "SSID"
Netsh WLAN add profile filename=".\WhateverYouWantToCallIt.XML"
Netsh WLAN connect name="$NAME"

WhateverYouWantToCallIt.XML file:
