This includes a variety of tools for managing networks and configurations on Windows devices, as well as tools demonstrating how to use relevant Networking APIs.

Binaries for latest sources are now available: https://github.com/microsoft/windows-networking-tools/tree/master/LatestBuilds

• SetNetworkCategory

  • This tool programmatically changes the Network Category (Firewall Profile) of the currently connected networks to either Public or Private.
  • It also demonstrates how to use the INetworkListManager APIs using modern C++, greatly simplifying the COM coding requirements. (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/netlistmgr/nn-netlistmgr-inetworklistmanager)

• PrintConnectionProfiles

  • This tool programmatically enumerates all the profiles on the device and prints all properties of the profile.
  • It also demonstrates how to use the Windows.Networking.NetworkInformation WinRT APIs using modern C++, greatly simplifying WinRT coding requirements. (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/uwp/api/Windows.Networking.Connectivity.NetworkInformation)

• MultipathLatencyAnalyzer

  • This tool measure Wi-Fi network performances with a focus on WLAN secondary interfaces (DualSTA feature)
  • It also demonstrate how to enable and use a secondary WLAN interface using the Wlan API (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/wlanapi/) and modern C++.
