A simple and efficient software utility that can automatically disable or enable wireless interfaces, while keeping the allocated IP address. #Enable network adapter #Disable wireless interface #Disable WiFi #Wireless interface #Enable #Disable
BridgeChecker is an utility that can detect when your computer is connected to an Ethernet port and automatically disable wireless adapters, an approach that can reduce PC exposure and preserve battery life for laptops and notebooks.
Upon launch, the application is immediately sent to the system tray, silently monitoring the available connections, without interfering with your work or requiring user interaction. However, you should take a look at the default configuration options before leaving it running in the background. For security reasons, access to the main interface is password-protected.
BridgeChecker offers a few options for configuring its policy settings, assisting you in managing both wired and Wi-Fi connections. As such, you can instruct it to deactivate or enable all the secondary network adapters when a primary one is identified or missing, respectively. In addition to this, it can be set to turn off all the wireless network interfaces when the computer is starting or shutting down.
The application can easily detect wired and wireless adapters, mobile data cards and modems, displaying a complete list of all the devices in the 'Settings' window. You can also add new adapters manually and filter records by various criteria, such as name, type or category (white list, primary, secondary or third). The list can be easily exported to CSV format and saved to your computer.
BridgeChecker enables you to manually disable or enable network adapters, while also providing automation options for this task and allowing you to define its functioning mode. It offers you a way to avoid dual interface routing and stay connected to a single network adapter at a time, without modifying the computer's initial IP address.
