How to block other WiFi network signals on your Windows PC

November 8, 2017 For Management

You usually connect to your router's WiFi on a daily basis and use the internet until you have bad intentions of using someone else's WiFi. If you only use one or two WiFis on a daily basis, it will be a better idea to block all other WiFi networks from appearing in the list of your available WiFi network.

Here, I will tell you how to block all other wifi network names from showing and only show and use your frequently used wifi network.

How to block other WiFi network signals

1 - Open Symbol of the system as an administrator.

2 - Now, type the command given below and hit enter.

netsh wlan add filter permission=allow ssid="WIFI SIGNAL NAME" networktype=infrastructure

Note: - Simply replace the WiFi signal name instead of WIFI SIGNAL NAME.

Likewise, run multiple commands to add some wifi signals that you want to allow on your Windows PC and that you regularly connect to your PC.

3 - After adding all the allowed wifi networks in the list, run the following command given below to block all other wifi signals.

netsh wlan add filter permission = denyall networktype = infrastructure

That's all. You have now blocked all other WiFi signals on your PC.

How to cancel the filtering and blocking of WiFi signals

You may want to cancel this operation in the future due to travel or for some other reason. To undo the previous operation and reset everything to the default value, just run the following commands.

netsh wlan delete filter permission = denyall networktype = infrastructure

Also remove the allowed wifi signal from the whitelist.

netsh wlan delete filter permission=allow ssid="YOUR WIFI SIGNAL NAME" networktype=infrastructure

Just replace your wifi name in “YOUR WIFI SIGNAL NAME” in the command.

How to view current filters

To view the Live Filters you have created, run the following command:

netsh wlan samples and filters

How to block only a particular WiFi signal

To block only a particular WiFi signal, simply run the following command.

netsh wlan remove authorization filter = block ssid = "WIFI SIGNAL YOU WANT TO BLOCK“Network type = infrastructure

How to view the list of current WiFi filters

To view the list of WiFi filters, type the following command.

netsh wlan samples and filters

That's all. Now only the desired wifi signals will be displayed in the list.
