如何以编程方式连接到 Windows 10 中的隐藏 SSID？

Question

I have spent ages on this and I am stuck.
I am trying to connect to a known hidden SSID programmatically.

I am using the following code

await firstAdapter.ScanAsync();

WiFiAvailableNetwork network = firstAdapter.NetworkReport.AvailableNetworks.FirstOrDefault(n => n.Ssid == ssid);

The problem is I need to supply as a first an object of type WiFiAvailableNetwork but AvailableNetworks only brings back non-hidden SSIDs.

public IAsyncOperation<WiFiConnectionResult> ConnectAsync(WiFiAvailableNetwork availableNetwork, WiFiReconnectionKind reconnectionKind, PasswordCredential passwordCredential, String ssid)

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/uwp/api/windows.devices.wifi.wifiadapter.connectasync#Windows_Devices_WiFi_WiFiAdapter_ConnectAsync_Windows_Devices_WiFi_WiFiAvailableNetwork_Windows_Devices_WiFi_WiFiReconnectionKind_Windows_Security_Credentials_PasswordCredential_System_String_

The above code works perfectly with non-hidden SSID's.
Is there an API to connect to a hidden SSID?
Thanks

Answer 1

If available, the hidden network should be in the firstAdapter.NetworkReport.AvailableNetworks list.

As the SSID is hidden, the Ssid property of WiFiAvailableNetwork for the target network will be "" .

You could make an assumption here and attempt to connect to it using:

await firstAdapter.ConnectAsync(networks.First(x => x.Ssid == ""), WiFiReconnectionKind.Automatic, "password", "knownSSID");
