Change Wireless Network Adapter Settings via KACE
Is there a way to manage the properties of the WiFi network adapter through KACE? Our laptops are mostly defaulting to 2.4ghz which is overcrowded, so on the WiFi network Adapter (Intel N6205) I need to change the settings under Properties > Advanced (tab) > Preferred Band > Value to 3. Prefer 5.2Ghz Band (currently set to 1. No Preference). Need to push this to all laptops, most likely requiring a script for each type of WiFi NIC. Systems are running W7 and KACE is v5.4.
Thanks for any suggestions.

There's also this:
http://theroadtodelphi.wordpress.com/2011/10/15/all-about-wifi-networks-and-wifi-adapters-using-the-wmi-and-delphi/
which is in Delphi but anyone with a modicum of scripting knowledge should be able to adapt it to pretty much anything else. The only worrying thing about it is that a search for '
WiFi_AdapterVersion' on MSDN turned up 0 results!! A good WMI object browser will help out in that direction (MS has a free one for download)
Good luck! - anonymous_9363 11 years ago
