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:

For some frikkin reason, it appears that each version of excel requires different code for this to work.

I have since, created a version that works for Excel 2007, which is different from a version that works for Excel 2013, but neither of these versions works correctly with Excel 365. This is causing me to get highly perturbed. :(

How to calculate loan payments in Excel?
Use the PMT function: =PMT(5%/12,60,-25000) is for a $25,000 loan, 5% annual interest, 60 month loan.
Ok, I think I got this mostly worked out now.

I have added the RSSI into the results as well as an option to try and get the Vendor names associated with the MAC Addresses.


Hopefully some people will test the code and report back the results as well as what Windows & Office versions were tested.

Welcome back @Dan_W !!!

This is still a work in progress so feel free to slap me on the back of the head when you find my mistakes or missed opportunities. :)

I'm still working my way through it (Jetlagged ATM), but Jaafar's workbook example is working for me. Give me 20 mins to catch up.

I just tried your code above (Post #42) and it seems to work. I'm on MS365, Windows 11 (64bit) using Office (64 bit).

Did you try the 'Vendor' option?

This will add time to the script, it may appear that excel is frozen, but let it run. It will add about 1 second to the script for each MAC address discovered

I just tried the Vendor option now, and it appeared to work, yes.

Just looking at it briefly, a few things jump out at me:

VBA Code:
                ReDim bTmp(sLen - 1)                                                    '           Dimension the Tmp array that will hold the SSID
                CopyMemory bTmp(0), udtBSS.dot11Ssid.ucSSID(0), sLen
                sSSID = ByteToStr(bTmp)

Using CopyMemory can be time-consuming, and it strictly speaking isn't necessary here. You can accomplish the same function by accessing the udtBSS.dot11ssid.ucSSID member direct.

VBA Code:
     sSSID = ByteToStr(udtBSS.dot11ssid.ucSSID)

Also, in the final function you don't seem to use HTMLDoc at all, so this can be deleted.
VBA Code:
    Set HTMLDoc = CreateObject("htmlfile")
