connecting to a particular wireless router by command line ?

Is it possible ?

Not really, depends on how many routers share the same SSID.

Any clue on operating system or is this an OS agnostic question?

I presumed he wanted a command to issue to connect as in make a wireless connection. Shows what happens when you have to make assumptions!

Assumption, the mother of all screwups.

Permit me to rant about the word "connect". It's about as ambiguous as they come and can mean at least 5 different things I can think of, and probably some more I haven't considered. Make that 6 ways as it might mean making a connection with the local drug dealer. "Connecting to... a ... wireless router" isn't very descriptive. For all I know, he might be trying to initiate a wireless link using the "wl" command:

Same litany as always:

1. What are you trying to accomplish?
2. What do you have to work with?
3. What have you done so far?

I do like mysteries. He may also be tryin to connect:

1. To a network share without using Windoze as in: NET VIEW NET VIEW \\SERVER NET USE G: \\SERVER\SHARENAME DIR G:
2. Connect via wireless using a DOS LANMAN client and the NDIS or ODI drivers. It's fairly easy to do with older cards (Orinoco classic) that have DOS installations.

3. Same as #2 except using Linux.

However much I enjoy mysteries, I'll wait for clarification on this one.

Which is what I was thinking of
