FRSWireless

Purpose

FRSWireless allows you to quickly connect to, or disconnect from, a wireless network.

Why Did We Create FRSWireless?

While Windows provides this same functionality, it takes several annoying clicks (especially starting with Windows 10) to enable or disable the Internet connection. If you do this often throughout the day, FRSWireless might make your life a bit easier. If you leave your computer connected to your wireless network all the time, then this application is not needed. Also note that this is only applicable to mobile devices, such as laptops, or desktop computers that have a supplemental wireless-connectivity board (or motherboard) installed. If you always have a wired connection to your router, then this application is of no use.

Key Features

  • Lists only the wireless network(s) that you use most often.
  • Saves a few clicks as compared to using the Windows way of connecting to a wireless network.

FRSWireless In Action

When you start the application, it attempts to determine which named wireless networks are available via your computer, and offers to connect or disconnect you from one of them.

When you start the application, it attempts to determine which named wireless networks are available via your computer, and selects the one to which a connection has already been established, if there is one, otherwise it selects the first one found. If you have more than one listed in the drop-down selection list, select the one you wish to use, and the information on the rest of the window is updated. If you are currently connected to this network, the button will show "Disconnect".

Note that if you open or close a wireless network connection outside of FRSWireless, it will not show the correct state. However, the next time you press FRSWireless' main button, it will update itself to the appropriate current state.

When you close FRSWireless, the wireless connection state will remain as you last left it.

System Menu

To keep the main window of FRSWireless as small as possible, additional functionality is available via the application's system menu. This menu can be accessed by clicking on the application's icon in the very top, left corner of the window. When the menu displays, you will see the standard six Windows menu commands. All of the remaining menu commands are custom to FRSWireless and offer you additional functionality to the application.
