Ultimately, I would like to combine the results from the following onto one sheet:

1) CreateObject("WScript.Shell").Run "cmd /c netsh wlan show networks mode=BSSID" & _
"|clip""", 0, True
specifically:
SSID, Networktype, Authentication, Encryption, MAC Address (BSSID), Signal level, Radiotype, Band, & Channel ... I have the code to do this :)

2) Data scraped from WLAN_AVAILABLE_NETWORK
specifically:
uNumberOfBssids, uNumberOfPhyTypes, dot11PhyTypes

3) Data scraped from WLAN_BSS_ENTRY
specifically:
lRssi, uLinkQuality, usBeaconPeriod, ullTimestamp


The code I have for getting the data from WLAN_AVAILABLE_NETWORK works perfectly.

The problems I encounter is when I try getting the data from WLAN_BSS_ENTRY.

The problems seem to be multiple.
The gathering of data from WLAN_BSS_ENTRY only occasionally works for the first row of data, most of the time it produces 'garbage' info. All additional rows seem to result in 'garbage' info.

I would tend to think that the issue is a memory pointer issue not being incremented properly.

I have also noticed that the WLAN_AVAILABLE_NETWORK section that works perfectly, doesn't 'jive' with the results from WLAN_BSS_ENTRY ... ie. The SSID's aren't matched up.


Any help would be most appreciated. Probably serves me right for delving into this area of API's and such that I am not used to dealing with.

Perhaps someone such as @Jaafar Tribak or others that are wise to this approach of 'scraping' data could assist.

The following is the code I am currently trying to use to scrape the data from WLAN_AVAILABLE_NETWORK & WLAN_BSS_ENTRY:

Change the DOT11_PHY_TYPE Enum to this :

VBA Code:
Private Enum DOT11_PHY_TYPE
    dot11_phy_type_unknown = 0
    dot11_phy_type_any = 0
    dot11_phy_type_fhss = 1
    dot11_phy_type_dsss = 2
    dot11_phy_type_irbaseband = 3
    dot11_phy_type_ofdm = 4
    dot11_phy_type_hrdsss = 5
    dot11_phy_type_erp = 6
    dot11_phy_type_ht = 7
    dot11_phy_type_vht = 8
    dot11_phy_type_IHV_start = &H80000000
    dot11_phy_type_IHV_end = &HFFFFFFFF
End Enum


and then, change the following section in the GetInfo SUB :

From this:
VBA Code:
 For lPtr = 0 To UBound(Network.dot11PhyTypes)
        Select Case Network.dot11PhyTypes(lPtr)
            Case DOT11_PHY_TYPE.dot11_phy_type_ht
                Msg = Msg & vbCrLf & "802.11n"
            Case DOT11_PHY_TYPE.dot11_phy_type_erp
                Msg = Msg & vbCrLf & "802.11g"
            Case DOT11_PHY_TYPE.dot11_phy_type_ofdm
                Msg = Msg & vbCrLf & "802.11a"
        End Select
    Next lPtr

To this:
VBA Code:
    For lPtr = 0 To UBound(Network.dot11PhyTypes)
        Select Case Network.dot11PhyTypes(lPtr)
            Case DOT11_PHY_TYPE.dot11_phy_type_ht
                Msg = Msg & vbCrLf & "802.11n"
            Case DOT11_PHY_TYPE.dot11_phy_type_erp
                Msg = Msg & vbCrLf & "802.11g"
            Case DOT11_PHY_TYPE.dot11_phy_type_ofdm
                Msg = Msg & vbCrLf & "802.11a"

                Msg = Msg & vbCrLf & "802.11ac"
            Case DOT11_PHY_TYPE.dot11_phy_type_erp
                Msg = Msg & vbCrLf & "802.11g"
            Case DOT11_PHY_TYPE.dot11_phy_type_hrdsss
                Msg = Msg & vbCrLf & "HRDSSS"

                Msg = Msg & vbCrLf & "DSSS"
            Case DOT11_PHY_TYPE.dot11_phy_type_IHV_start

            Case DOT11_PHY_TYPE.dot11_phy_type_IHV_end
                Msg = Msg & vbCrLf & "IHV"
            Case DOT11_PHY_TYPE.dot11_phy_type_unknown
                Msg = Msg & vbCrLf & "unknown"
            Case DOT11_PHY_TYPE.dot11_phy_type_fhss
                Msg = Msg & vbCrLf & "FHSS"
        End Select

Excel Facts

Control Word Wrap
Press Alt+Enter to move to a new row in a cell. Lets you control where the words wrap.
That doesn't error. :)

However, all Auth & Cypher Algorithms result in 'unknown' :(

Now you see my dilemma. :) That is why I altered the request in post #1 to just add a couple results to the code I posted in post #2. This BSS data is very difficult to get consistent results, at least for me.

Ok- Let's hope this works :

Replace the entire bas_API with this new code:
VBA Code:

What about adding an On Error Resume next at the top of the UpdateListBox SUB in the UserForm Module ?

This will prevent the RE ... Check the BSS data as you move from one network to another. Is the BSS data correct and does it change based on the selected network ?

That, of course, allows the code to continue. The data does change depending on which SSID is selected.

Things I have noticed:
----------------------
PhyId is always 0
BSSType is always 1
RegDomain is always 6553601
BeaconPeriod is always 0
Timestamp shows for some SSIDs, others are blank
Connectable always shows TRUE

The PHY_TYPE, Security Enbabled, Auth Algorithm, & Cypher Algorithm results are all over the place.

- Timestamp shows for some SSIDs, others are blank ( That shouldn't happen)
- PhyId is always 0 ( should be 7 I think)

The other values are the same as the ones I get.

To be honest, I don't really know why I get correct results whereas you don't... I have no issues whatsoever running the most recent api code (and even the initial code despite the Enums were incomplete).

The reason I wanted to settle this tonight is because I need to return the WIFI Adapter tomorrow morning so I won't get a chance to debug\test until I borrow it back @ sometime in the future.

This Network stuff is new territory to me. I don't undertand many of the details such as the meaning of each BSS data... I simply adapted the original vb6 code to vba and wrapped the output data in a userform meant to be a friendly user interface.

If I get another chance and get a wifi adapter, I will calmly revise the code and see if it can be improved.

I really appreciate all of your efforts @Jaafar Tribak !!!

Have you tried the code from post #2 and looked into just adding the RSSI value to it?
