WiFi Connector

This is a Python application with a graphical user interface (GUI) that allows you to manage and connect to WiFi networks.

Features

• Cross-platform: Works on Windows, Linux, and macOS.
• Save known networks: Store WiFi networks and their passwords for easy connection.
• Connect to WiFi: Connect to a saved WiFi network with a single click.
• QR Code Generation: Generate a QR code for a WiFi network to easily share the connection with other devices.
• Add new networks: Easily add new WiFi networks to the list.
• Search: Search for a specific network in the list.

Project Structure

The project is structured as follows:

.
├── config.json
├── gui.py
├── main.py
├── wifi_manager.py
└── __pycache__/

• main.py: The entry point of the application. It checks for dependencies and starts the GUI.
• gui.py: Contains the code for the tkinter GUI. It defines the WifiConnectorApp class, which creates the main window, widgets, and handles user interactions.
• wifi_manager.py: This file manages the core WiFi functionality. It includes functions to:
  • Load and save known networks from a config.json file.
  • Connect to WiFi networks on different operating systems (Windows, Linux, macOS).
  • Scan for available WiFi networks.
  • Generate QR codes for WiFi connections.
• config.json: Stores the SSIDs and passwords of known WiFi networks.

How it works

The application uses the tkinter library to create the GUI. The wifi_manager.py script uses system commands to manage WiFi connections:

• Windows: netsh
• Linux: nmcli
• macOS: networksetup

The config.json file is used to store the WiFi networks and their passwords. The application reads this file to populate the list of available networks. When you connect to a network, the application uses the information from this file to establish the connection.

How to use

1. Install the dependencies:

   pip install -r requirements.txt

2. Run the application:

   python main.py

3. Add a WiFi network:

   • Click the "Add Network" button.
   • Enter the SSID (network name) and password.
   • Click "Add".

4. Connect to a WiFi network:

   • Select a network from the list.
   • Click the "Connect" button.

5. Generate a QR code:

   • Select a network from the list.
   • Click the "Show QR" button.
   • A new window will open with the QR code. You can scan this code with your phone to connect to the network.

How to create an executable file (.exe)

To create an executable file, you can use a tool like pyinstaller.

1. Install pyinstaller:

   pip install pyinstaller

2. Create the executable:

   pyinstaller --onefile --windowed main.py

   • --onefile: Creates a single executable file.
   • --windowed: Prevents the console window from appearing when you run the application.

3. The executable file will be created in the dist folder.

Dependencies
