Hotspot Auto-Connect

A smart automation script designed to eliminate the frustration of connecting to your mobile hotspot manually. Whether you wake your PC from sleep or restart, this script ensures your specific hotspot is connected instantly.

🔍 The Problem

Windows' built-in "Connect Automatically" feature often fails if your PC powers on before your phone's hotspot is active. In most cases, users are forced to:

• Open the Wi-Fi menu manually.
• Wait for the OS to "discover" the network (often taking 10–20 seconds).
• Manually click "Connect" and hope for the best.

My Batch script solves this by actively polling and forcing a connection the moment the hotspot becomes available.

🛠️ Technical Breakdown

The script utilizes a 4-step logic:

1. Check: Verifies if already connected to avoid redundant loops.
2. Force: Disconnects existing Wi-Fi profiles to clear the path.
3. Connect: Triggers netsh wlan connect in a retry loop.
4. Audit: Extracts network data using ipconfig and netsh interfaces for verification.
