How to configure 2 wifis interfaces

rydemstorm · 2024-08-01 02:29

I have two wireless network interfaces, aliases: A and B
I would like to configure interface A to connect to the "Primary" or "Secondary" Wi-Fi, prioritizing that order.
In the case of interface B that connects to "Secondary" or "Primary", prioritizing that order.
That each of them is connected according to the priority and availability of the Wi-Fi.
In the case of the interface that connects to the Secondary network, I want to put some routes.
And I would also like to know if it is possible to route the Internet through the Secondary if the Primary fails to provide the Internet.

Secondary assigns IP by DHCP.
How do I create the routes if I don't know the IP of the gateway, and the InterfaceIndex switches between reboots?

I made my own powershell script that does what I want, it has some shortcomings to polish.
I think the NetSetMan, someone explained to me, does pretty much the same thing I want to do.

Your question describes a rather complex use case scenario where we unfortunately cannot analyze all details with you. "Prioritizing an order" seems to be the most problematic part here, as a NetSetMan profile is a set of preconfigured settings that are applies as configured. A profile can contain multiple subprofiles, each for a different network adapter.

If you want to automate the process, you can use the built-in AutoSwitch functionality. With it, you could try to integrate the conditions you described.

In any case, you would still need to get familiar with the general functionality of the program and then try to adapt this to your constellation.

Before you start, we would recommend reading through the basics:

Once you have set up your profiles, you can try to automate them with AutoSwitch conditions:

My personal solution:
It allows me to monitor the available Wifis. Connect each interface to the favorite network available according to preference, set manual or automatic network IP address. Establish routes according to the connected network. Prioritize the Internet according to the interfaces available with the Internet. I don't have to explicitly put the gateway on routes for routes to be created. It's a prototype.

Let's say that I share a perhaps interesting scenario to include in your application.
Best regards.
