Enable & Disable Wireless connection by using python - aniyanetworks - Jan-14-2019
Sorry if you find this questions very easy and basic for you. I am New in Python and trying to learn every day.
My Questions: How can I disable and enable Wi-Fi/ Wireless network by using Python?
My Goal is to, Create and GUI with 2 buttons, i will enable the Wifi and another one will disable the Wifi, where the user can click to disable and enable the Wi-Fi network.
Please help and advise. Thank you

If you know how to do it from a terminal, you can readily call the command from a python script with the subprocess module.

Hello Griboullis, Thanks for your reply.
I was using Tkinter GUI to create 2 buttons and i don't know which library or function should I use.
Hope this will help.
Thanks

Do you know how to enable or disable the wireless connection from a terminal in your OS (without python at all)?

Yes, i do have the script.
Quote:netsh interface set interface "Wi-Fi" DISABLED
Quote:netsh interface set interface "TPALANDOC" ENABLED
and it works perfectly. but i want to make it more user-friendly.
Please advise.
Thank you

Then you can use (for python >= 3.5)
import subprocess
result = subprocess.run(["netsh", "interface", "set", "interface", "Wi-Fi", "DISABLED"])
print("FAILED..." if result.returncode else "SUCCESS!")

I dont know windows well enough, but you can try to add
'runas', '/noprofile', '/user:Administrator', before 'netch'. Another solution would perhaps be to run your tkinter script as administrator.
