That means opening Control Panel, finding the adapter, properties, IPv4, properties again, typing everything manually.<br> So I built netsnap — a small CLI tool that stores your network configs as named profiles and applies them in one command:<br> <code>netsnap apply work<br> netsnap apply home<br> netsnap apply plc_station</code><br> It uses WMI to read current adapter state and netsh to apply settings. No dependencies except the wmi package.<br> You can also save your current settings as a profile:<br> <code>netsnap save work --adapter "Intel(R) Wi-Fi 6 AX201 160MHz"</code><br> GitHub: github.com/heavenyoung1/netsnap<br> Would love feedback — especially if anyone tests it on Windows 10 or older Python versions.</p> <p><a href="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Fvwii552gqqad6a4o3scm.png" class="article-body-image-wrapper"><img src="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Fvwii552gqqad6a4o3scm.png" alt=" " width="800" height="172"></a></p> cli networking productivity showdev
