(e.g. wired) It makes sense since the AP is usually used to share internet connection via wi-fi to your other devices.\nHowever, local wi-fi network can be useful even when there's no internet. That's when this util comes in handy.\nMy primary use case is when I want to transfer files between my phone and my laptop without presence of internet connection, but the util may also be useful for network development and testing.\n\nThe program is essentially a small GUI over `netsh`.\n\n#### Target platform\n- Tested in Windows 10\n\n#### Dependencies\n- .NET 4.0 (comes with Windows 10)\n- `netsh` command-line tool (comes with Windows 10)\n\n#### Screencaps\n\u003cimg width=\"350\" src=\"https://github.com/AlexIII/lwf/blob/master/sc1.png\" /\u003e\n\nLicense\n[WTFPL v2](http://www.wtfpl.net)\n\nCreated with Microsoft Studio 2015\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Falexiii%2Flwf","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Falexiii%2Flwf","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Falexiii%2Flwf/lists"}
