Configuring Wi-Fi profiles for different machines in the network is made easy with Endpoint Central, as our product supports Wi-Fi configuration for all kinds of operating systems. You can create, modify, and delete existing Wi-Fi profiles using the Wi-Fi configuration feature in Endpoint Central. The only prerequisite for deploying a Wi-Fi profile is to ensure that a Wi-Fi adapter is enabled on all the target computers beforehand. You can activate the Wi-Fi adapter while creating a Wi-Fi profile and create multiple profiles. Profiles within a configuration will be applied according to the specified sequence. If you choose to delete all configurations first and then create a new Wi-Fi profile, all the existing Wi-Fi profiles will be removed from the computer initially, followed by the addition of the second profile.
You can create one or more Wi-Fi profiles for the target computer. You can choose to remove all the existing Wi-Fi profiles before deploying the newly created profiles. You will have to follow the steps mentioned below to create a Wi-Fi profile. There are two ways to create a Wi-Fi profile, they are :

You can choose to import an existing Wi-Fi profile and deploy it to the target computers. The Wi-Fi profile should be located and uploaded to the product server. Endpoint Central currently supports Wi-Fi profiles only in XML format.
You can choose to modify existing Wi-Fi profiles by creating a new profile with the required modifications. When a profile is created with a name that already exists on the target computer, the previous profile will be modified. However, the changes will apply only to the computers to which the configuration is applied. Modifying Wi-Fi profiles will not work if the network adapter is disabled on the device.
You can choose to delete one or all Wi-Fi profiles that exist on the target computer. When Delete All profile is applied, all existing Wi-Fi profiles applied to computers will be removed from the target computer, and the newly added profiles will be applied. You can choose to delete a specific profile by specifying the name of the profile that needs to be deleted.
