Auto Identify wifi
rpradosilva opened this issue · comments
Hi everyone,
The app is really cool!!!
I suggest improving the experience by automating wi-fi identification via browser permissions, but manual configuration is still an alternative.
Example: https://www.speedtest.net/
What do you think?
Is it possible? The informations on speedtest.net are non-local network information.
I researching npm libs, this is an initial idea:
const wifiscanner = require("wifiscanner");
const wifiName = require("wifi-name");
const scanner = wifiscanner();
const wifiPassword = require("wifi-password");
let networkName = wifiName.sync();
scanner.scan((error, networks) => {
if (error) {
console.error(error);
} else {
for (const network of networks) {
if (network.ssid == networkName) {
console.info(
`------------------------------------\nWifi Name: ${network.ssid}\nSecurity: ${network.security}`
);
}
}
}
});
wifiPassword().then(function (password) {
return console.log(`Password: ${password}`);
});
What do you think?
What is the effect of this?
Automatically identify the wi-fi name, security type and password, the main information to create the wi-fi card...
Test the suggestion:
- Create folder
- Start node
npm init
- Install these dependencies:
npm i wifiscanner wifi-name wifi-password
- Create file
index.js
and paste this code:
const wifiscanner = require("wifiscanner");
const wifiName = require("wifi-name");
const scanner = wifiscanner();
const wifiPassword = require("wifi-password");
let networkName = wifiName.sync();
scanner.scan((error, networks) => {
if (error) {
console.error(error);
} else {
for (const network of networks) {
if (network.ssid == networkName) {
console.info(
`------------------------------------\nWifi Name: ${network.ssid}\nSecurity: ${network.security}`
);
}
}
}
});
wifiPassword().then(function (password) {
return console.log(`Password: ${password}`);
});
- Run
node index.js
It's a convenient solution. The user can click the button/checkbox to automatically complete the data about the network to which he is currently connected. This saves time and the possibility of mistakes. A very good idea for me.
This is a cool idea, but I don't think it's a good fit for this project. I want to keep the experience simple and expected. If a website like wificard.io automatically displayed my home wifi network details, I'd be caught off guard.
Again, I think this is a really cool idea but not a good fit for this project.
