How to use Netsh wlan when SSID contains whitespace?
I cannot use netsh WLAN command when the network I am trying to work with contains whitespace. For eg: While working with a network with SSID "Some Network"
C:\Users\Padmanava>netsh wlan show profile Some Network key=clear
There is no such wireless interface on the system.
But when working with a network with SSID "SomeNetwork" It works perfectly fine
C:\Users\Padmanava>netsh wlan show profile Lenovo key=clear
Profile Lenovo on interface Wi-Fi 2:

Is there any way to work with networks with SSID containing whitespaces.
Also, I don't have access to the router so I cannot change the SSID.
You should use quotes for SSIDs having spaces.
Example: if your WiFi's name is WiFi Hotspot, write it in the command as "WiFi Hotspot".
While using Netsh use "*" in place of whitespace
