About ManageWirelessNetworks
ManageWirelessNetworks is an alternative to the Wi-Fi profile manager built into Windows. It lists every saved wireless profile, including those of inactive adapters, with SSID, authentication, encryption, connection mode, profile position, created and modified times and the stored wireless key.
You can edit a profile in the Windows editor or as XML, rename the profile or SSID, switch between manual and automatic connection, reorder, duplicate or delete profiles, and copy profiles to a new wireless adapter. Lists export to text, CSV, JSON, HTML or XML. It runs as a standalone executable on Windows Vista to Windows 11.
