PowerShell check the NIC status and the corresponding power settings _powershell

Applies to Windows 8.1/server-R2 operating system.

Some of the commands used to manage network adapters are introduced in Windows 8.1 and Windows Server R2. When you want to check WiFi connectivity, such as if you want to figure out why a remote wake-up call doesn't wake your machine, you might want to look at the power management settings.

Look at this line of code:

Copy Code code as follows:

Ps> Get-netadapter

Name interfacedescription ifindex Status MacAddress linkspeed
----                      --------------------                    ------- ------       ----------             ---------
WLAN Intel (R) Centrino (r) wireless-n 1000 4 up 74-e5-0b-8d-f3-70 Mbps

Ethernet Broadcom NetLink (TM) Gigabit Ethernet 3 disconnected dc-0e-a1-73-7b-ff 0 bps

Once you have found the corresponding network card name, you can view the power settings.

Copy Code code as follows:

ps> Get-netadapter-name WiFi | Get-netadapterpowermanagement
