This Python script monitors the status of a Wi-Fi connection on a Windows system. When the network becomes inactive or fails to respond to ping requests, the script automatically disables and re-enables the Wi-Fi adapter, then verifies whether the connection has been successfully restored. It uses the schedule package for periodic execution, netsh commands to manage the Wi-Fi interface, and the netifaces package to obtain user-friendly network interface names.

• This script is specifically designed for Windows systems.
• The script requires administrative privileges to perform actions like turning off and on the WiFi interface.

Install the schedule and netifaces packages using the following commands:

pip install schedule
pip install netifaces

1. Run the script with administrative privileges to ensure it can control the WiFi interface.

python wifi_checker.py

2. The script will schedule a periodic check of the WiFi connection status.
3. If the WiFi connection is inactive (unable to receive ping packets), the script will automatically turn off and on the WiFi interface.
4. The script will log the status of the WiFi connection in the console.

• Ensure that the script is run with administrative privileges to avoid permission issues.
• The script uses the netsh command to control the WiFi interface. If there are any issues with the execution of netsh, the script may not work as expected.
