Hello guys I need help with a problem.
If anyone knows a program able to timely enable / disable the wifi connections on windows 7, so i can install on my windows 7 and set the timer to turn on/off the wifi cards. I google-ing 3 weeks ago and all i find is crap. It turns out like "my wifi keeps dropping or i loosing wifi" etc, etc,

I looking for a standalone program i can set times per wifi cards to turn the radio off eg, 8pm and turn it back on at 6am. I do not need a vb script or ps script , my windows is modified and remote support and all other scripting has been cut out for good reason. Anyone knows a program that can do it? Something like the programs for timed shutdown PC? Just for wireless cards. My laptops are on for 24/7 but don't want manually disconnect wifi every time, ans also i don't want to leave them online unattended. Installing DDVRT on the router is a no go , my flatmates will kill me if i turning the router on off . LOL

thanks

Why not just make a shortcut on the desktop for the wifi adapter and enable/disable with a couple of mouse clicks? You have a very specific need as you've found out...your options are greatly limited. Might be a good time to learn coding and make the program, be the guy that learns to make a good and lightweight solution.

I can't seem to find a program dedicated for this, but I'm sure someone could make one that enables/disables wifi/airplane mode at set times.

I know you're not into scripting, but you might check this out: http://superuser.com/questions/403620/enable-disable-a-network-adapter-with-a-keyboard-shortcut

+1 to Family Security for Essentials...that might be the best bet.

Thanks but is not possible. Will not install all these ms programs. Do not trust them and i not using flash or activex or any other frameworks like .net, vb, powershell. My windows is modified for my needs. Only using native programs not related to any framework.

Thanks anyway.

Cannot install family security because is not an option for me. My windows missing frameworks to make it work. As you would say i using a crippled windows for a good reason. I could call dll forms and functions from cmd script i know my ways around in Command Prompt . I just looking for a way to do it automatically by program .

My windows is only 1.2GB and missing all nonessential bloatware. Including windows update, firewall, winsxs, MS Anti spyware, UAC and lot more.

Thanks.

Couldn't you go under router settings and config each ip/mac address for certain time periods of broadcasting? Then you can leave everything on, roommates are happy and you get the time table you need for downloads? What router do you have?

look at your keyboard for a Antenna Tower with wave forms by it, if there is such and it matches the color code of your FN key press FN then the key with the Antenna on it, that will turn it on or off

Benchmark Scores I dont have time for that.
if its a laptop alot of them have software control panels that do this. I know for example toshibas do. BUT in toshibas case you do not need to install the control panel. It is a simple .exe that is a few kb. If you download the software for the laptops your using you might see something similar. Then you could just setup a timer via batch or power shell to execute the .exe to turn it on and off for you.


just an idea.

Using Alienware M17X-R2s there are no keys, only the media buttons and the wifi switch useless without the alien OSD which requires dot net to be installed what i don't have. and will not install its useless.

Thanks

Why won't you install.net framework? It's needed for lots of stuff these days.

If you're using Catalyst Control Center for your HD 5870, you're already running .NET Framework 4.0. I also see you're running Windows Server 2008 R2 which requires .NET Framework 2.0 to function (3.0 and 3.5.1 are optional). If you're using any version of Windows newer than XP (which is end-of-life), you're using at least .NET Framework 2.0.

Windows Update is not "bloatware." It is Microsoft's system for fixing exploits and pushing out other updates (all of which are optional by the way).

WinSXS (aka Windows Side-By-Side) is also intrinsic to the design of Windows NT 6.#. When system files are updated, WinSXS doesn't overwrite the old one. It keeps it to allow falling back to a known-to-be-good configuration (makes the Windows OS itself extremely resilient to unauthorized modifications).

UAC is another thing that can't be disabled because it is also intrinsic to the design of Windows NT 6.#. You can disable the prompts but the user access layer is still very much alive and kicking. Disabling the UAC prompts actually makes your computer substantially less secure by allowing virtually everything to run unimpeded.


Now...all that paranoia and misinformation is out of the way, see DevCon which will require the Windows Driver Kit which requires Visual Studio which requires .NET Framework 4.5.1. I think you're out of luck because Microsoft has been deliberately moving towards .NET to simplify OS/software interactions. In short, you're shooting yourself in the foot and I strongly recommend not doing that.

Btw i am IT technician, could use netshell for it, but is still a few click. Think i try do something in autoit. I am expert with windows 7 and linux. Have CompTia A+ N+ L+, also have MS 70-680,681,683,684,686,687,688 cert. I worked in oem distribution before and did a few corporate image deploying as well. My question was if anyone heard of a program designed for the sole purpose? Looks not.

Thanks,

I'm Linus Torvalds and even I think think this is BS.

With that out of the way, do what the good Ford and eidairaman say.

I really don't understand people like this. If you have a high-end system, you don't need to disable anything to get it to run smoothly. I can understand streamlining it to a point, but when you're removing Windows Update, .Net Framework, WinSxS, etc, you must have Asperger's or OCD or something that compels you to do this. There is no logical reason for it. And this is coming from me, someone with Asperger's AND is MS and CompTIA certified. If I don't see a logical reason for it, then nobody else will either.

You may not have a Fn+F key control of the wireless; however that laptop should have a set of touch control keys and one is the Wireless control key!

Get your manual from Dell support; or, if you have it... look on pages 19 & 26.

Quotes from the pages:
Touch Controls
The touch controls are located at the top of the keyboard. For the exact location, see "Computer Base and Keyboard Features" on page 18. To activate, gently touch the desired control. The control will illuminate temporarily to confirm your selection.

Wireless Control - Switch wireless communications on/off
(for more information, see "Using the Wireless Control" on page 26)

Using the Wireless Control
The wireless control allows you to quickly turn all of your wireless radios (Bluetooth® and WLAN) off, such as when you are asked to disable all wireless radios on an airplane flight. Gently touching this control one time turns all of your radios off. Gently touching it again returns your wireless radios to their respective states they were in before you touched the control the first time.

The OP sure has a lot of can't do and won't do things... something sure seems off here.

Ok Thanks guys. I see not too many ppl understand me, but that's fine . I only installing the drivers from the full pack of the dell or intel or amd provided packages. I don't need more fancy crap-ware on my laptop. Never had problems with programs i using regardless the state of my modified windows. For security purposes i completely OK without .net, flash, windows family safety, windows antivirus , updates where ms can push you more backdoors or else. Think the topic went sideways as some users even try to tell me how to use my laptop. Because i don't trust flash youtube google or even facebook and ms. Not even using some of them. Using my computers 6/7 y ago like that never had a single virus or problem. best friend is firefox adblock noscript flashblocker javakiller and peerblock. If i cannot open a page because of that so be it.

Thanks all,
Mod please close the tread.

I really don't understand people like this. If you have a high-end system, you don't need to disable anything to get it to run smoothly. I can understand streamlining it to a point, but when you're removing Windows Update, .Net Framework, WinSxS, etc, you must have Asperger's or OCD or something that compels you to do this. There is no logical reason for it. And this is coming from me, someone with Asperger's AND is MS and CompTIA certified. If I don't see a logical reason for it, then nobody else will either.

There is... a reason ITS SAFE. Long time ago haven't have a single problem with viruses or Trojans. I know what i want what i am using and what my pc supposed to do.

I'd rather have a fully functional system, to be honest. If you're smart and sensible with your web browsing and downloading, you won't have to worry about virii.

What wifi adapter do you have?

Broadcom 4313 + Bluetooth 2070 combo and second slot have a Broadcom 4322 card. Don't use the stock dell 1520 card and 370 bt

Thanks.

Celibacy is the best way to prevent getting STDs but where's the fun in that?
