Hi @Pietro Guzzetti !

I tested the following script, and it ran successfully. I hope it works for you.

You will need to create a .csv file with the following information:

users,passwords

user1,password123

user2,password456

Make sure to modify the first two variables, which are the Wi-Fi network name and the path to the CSV file.

# Change here

$SSID = "YourWiFiNetwork" # Target Wi-Fi network name

$CSVPath = "C:\path\to\credentials.csv" # Path to the CSV file with credentials

$PingAddress = "8.8.8.8" # Google's DNS for connectivity test

$Credentials = Import-Csv -Path $CSVPath

foreach ($cred in $Credentials) {

$Username = $cred.Username

$Password = $cred.Password

Write-Host "`nTesting connection with username: $Username..." -ForegroundColor Yellow

# Connect to Wi-Fi using the provided credentials

$ConnectCommand = "netsh wlan connect name=$SSID user=$Username password=$Password"

Invoke-Expression $ConnectCommand

Start-Sleep -Seconds 5

$PingResult = Test-Connection -ComputerName $PingAddress -Count 2 -Quiet

if ($PingResult) {

Write-Host "Successfully connected using $Username! Internet is accessible." -ForegroundColor Green

} else {

Write-Host "Connection failed or no Internet access." -ForegroundColor Red

}

Write-Host "Disconnecting..." -ForegroundColor Yellow

netsh wlan disconnect

Start-Sleep -Seconds 3

}

Write-Host "`nTesting completed!" -ForegroundColor Cyan
