- I have some problem with WiFi-Manager
Firstly, check the log file "WIFIMAN-LOG.txt" for errors, for most cases you can find the reason there.
Use sample projects for testing, they have additional code for checking status of Windows WiFi service.
You can use sample projects as start point for your application, or you can use them to learn how to use WiFi-Manager.
If you cannot find answer to your question and want to contact us for technical support then please launch "Delphi Advanced Sample",
reproduce the problem and send us "WIFIMAN-LOG.txt" log file from its directory. (..\program
files\[Advanced ]WiFi-Manager\samples\delphi advanced sample\) with the detailed description of the problem.

- I cannot connect to Access Point
Firstly, make sure you have created correct profile for this network, you won't be able to connect if
Access Point (AP) has different type of authentication or encryption, or different key/passphrase. Try to narrow the problem by
setting AP to use "Open system" authentication and "None" encryption, if you can connect to such AP then probably you typed
key or passphrase incorrectly, for WEP keys make sure you type keys in the correct form: 5 or 13 characters if you
type key in ASCII form, 10 or 26 characters if you type key in HEX form. For WPA-PSK and WPA-PSK2 passphrase must be in ASCII form
and cannot be shorter thant 8 characters.
- My application does not work if I start it on different PC
Your application needs WiFi-Manager installed, except if you have purchased sources codes (in this case you can link WiFi-Manager
statically with your EXE file). Please read this page for details how to install WiFi-Manager.
- How can I enable/disable Windows WiFi service manually?
Open "Control Panel", double-click "Administrative Tools" icon, double-click "Services" icon, a new window with
the list of services will appear. For Windows XP SP2 find
"Wireless Zero Configuration" service, for Windows Vista find "WLAN AutoConfig" service. Right click it, select "Properties" command in
the context menu, a new window with the service properties will appear. To start the service select "Startup type = Automatic" and
press "Start" button, to start the service press "Stop" button and select "Startup type = Disabled".
- Does WiFi-Manager need Windows WiFi service?
WiFi-Manager always manages wireless networks with help of Windows WiFi service, therefore this service must be started.
You can check Windows WiFi service status with "GetWIFIServiceStatus" function and set new status with "SetWIFIServiceStatus" function,
note you must have enough privileges to call "SetWIFIServiceStatus" function.
- Does Advanced WiFi-Manager need Windows WiFi service?
Advanced WiFi-Manager can also communicate with WiFi adapter drivers directly, in this mode (NDIS calls mode)
Windows WiFi service must be disabled because only one software can communicate with the WiFi adapter driver at once.
By default Advanced WiFi-Manager detects if there is WiFi service for this version of Windows and for Windows XP SP2 and
Windows Vista it works exactly as WiFi-Manager, for other Windows versions it uses NDIS calls mode. You can make it
always use NDIS calls mode with "SetLibraryOption(OPT_MODE, OPT_MODE_NDIS)" function,
it must be called before calling any other functions, see notes for OPT_MODE constant.
- I cannot register WiFi-Manager with "regsvr32" under Windows Vista
It is a known issue of third-party trial protection system we use for trial versions of our products. We are working on the solution,
right now you can copy "regsvr32.exe" into some
folder, rename it to any other name (for example "regwifi.exe") and
execute it: "regwifi.exe wifiman.dll". Full versions of our products do not have this problem,
it is related only to trial versions that you can download freely.
