DHLightWIFI (DHWifiClient.NET)

Windows Native WiFi (wlanapi.dll) client library for .NET. Scan nearby networks, connect using Open/WEP/WPA/WPA2/WPA3-Personal or WPA2-Enterprise (PEAP-MSCHAPv2 / EAP-TLS), manage saved profiles, and observe real-time connection events — all through a small, dependency-free API.

Requirements

  • Windows Vista or later (uses the Native Wifi API, wlanapi.dll)
  • Target frameworks: net46, net6.0-windows, net8.0-windows
  • Platform: x64 (the sample app targets x64; wlanapi.dll marshaling has been validated on x64 only)

Install

dotnet add package DHWifiClient.NET

Quick start

using DHWifiClient.NET;

using (var client = new DHWifiClient())
{
    var wifiInterface = client.GetInterfaces().First();

    wifiInterface.Scan();
    var networks = wifiInterface.GetAvailableNetworks();

    // Auto-detects Open/WEP/WPA/WPA2-Personal from the scan result.
    wifiInterface.Connect(networks.First(n => n.Ssid == "MyHomeWifi"), password: "MyPassword123");
}

Supported authentication methods

Method API
Open Connect(ssid)
WEP ConnectWep(ssid, wepKey, authentication, keyIndex)
WPA/WPA2-Personal (PSK) Connect(ssid, password) / Connect(ssid, password, protocol, cipher)
Saved profile reconnect ConnectSavedProfile(ssid)
WPA2-Enterprise (PEAP-MSCHAPv2) ConnectEnterprise(ssid, username, password, domain)
WPA2-Enterprise (EAP-TLS, client certificate) ConnectEnterpriseEapTls(ssid, clientCertThumbprint)
Auto-detect from scan result Connect(WifiNetwork network, string password)

WPA3-SAE and ad-hoc (IBSS) networks are intentionally not supported; the API throws NotSupportedException for these cases with an explanatory message.

Other capabilities

  • GetInterfaces() — enumerate WiFi adapters
  • GetProfiles() / DeleteProfile(name) — manage saved profiles
  • GetRadioState() / SetRadioState(bool) — query/toggle the software radio switch
  • Notification event — scan/connect/disconnect lifecycle notifications (raised on a native callback thread; marshal to the UI thread yourself before touching UI controls)

Sample application

A WinForms sample (DHWifiClientSol\sample\DHWifiClientSample) demonstrates scanning, connecting (including Enterprise credential/certificate dialogs and hidden-network entry), and viewing saved profiles.
