(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Ever repeatedly needed to disable then enable your WiFi card/usb/other? This method of doing it can save time and effort.

This is for Microsoft Windows 2000 and higher and doesn't with Windows 95, Windows 98, or Windows Millennium Edition.

There is a x64 tutorial at the bottom of the page

First Download this package: You must login or register to view this content.

Extract the zip to C:\devcon

Second, open device manager found in:
Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Computer Management > Device Manager

Browse to the device you want, right click on it and select properties

Click on the details tab and under properties select Hardware IDs

Multiple IDs may come up, don't worry, you only need the part of the ID before the &, e.g one of the IDs was PCI\VEN_XXXC&EV_XXX&CC_XXXX I would copy PCI\VEN_XXXC


After this right click on C:\devcon\Restart Wireless.bat and click edit

Replace PCI\VEN_168C with your ID and save

Your script is now ready, to run it double click on Restart Wireless.bat. You can move the bat anywhere on your system but leave the devcon folder alone

If you want to move the devcon folder elsewhere you can change the directory after the cd command.

Also, users running a x64 bit computer can use the x64 bit devcon in the other folder by editing the bat file to that location.

Enjoy

P.S This method may also work with many other devices

Devcon has many other uses like this, to see the full list of commands go to You must login or register to view this content. and create a bat file in a similar format to mine.

Interesting script... I'll try this at school tomorrow. Though I am usually simply just doing a right click and do a Repair, or get in cmd prompt and do a ipcofig /release and /renew.

Works for me most of the time.

Thank you in any case!
