Identify Wireless Adapter name and pipe into command

I'm trying to use a batch script to identify the name of the wireless adapter (people rename them). then use the answer to restart that adapter. Is there a way to disconnect/reconnect with a specific profile that would be easier?

for /f "usebackq tokens=* skip=1" %%a in ('wmic.exe nic where "NetConnectionStatus=2 and netconnectionid like '%wi%'" get NetConnectionID') do output=%%A

netsh interface set interface name=%%A admin=disabled
netsh interface set interface name=%%A admin=enabled

Check next script (where operational commands are ECHOed for debugging purposes only)

@echo OFF
for /f "tokens=2* delims==" %%a in (
  'wmic.exe nic where "NetConnectionStatus=2" get NetConnectionID /value'
) do (
    ECHO netsh interface set interface name="%%a" admin=disabled
    ECHO netsh interface set interface name="%%a" admin=enabled
)

Note:

  • %%a variable name is case sensitive;
  • and netconnectionid like '%wi%' omitted in wmic filter as you stated …(people rename them) yourself.
