Looking for a freeware utility to track wifi uptime

5. I found a better way to do this...

I wrote a quick PowerShell script that will extract a few key pieces of data every 30 seconds. you can pipe it out to a file. PowerShell also has the ability to format it in CSV.

Here is what I came up with:
[div class='excerpt']$objInterface = "" | Select-Object Timestamp,Description,SSID,BSSID,Signal,Speed

while(1)
{
foreach ($strLine in (netsh wlan show interfaces))
{
if ($strLine -match "^\s+Description&quot
{
$objInterface.Description = $strLine -Replace "^\s+Description\s+:\s+",""
}
elseif ($strLine -match "^\s+SSID&quot
{
$objInterface.SSID = $strLine -Replace "^\s+SSID\s+:\s+",""
}
elseif ($strLine -match "^\s+BSSID&quot
{
$objInterface.BSSID = $strLine -Replace "^\s+BSSID\s+:\s+",""
}
elseif ($strLine -match "^\s+Signal&quot
{
$objInterface.Signal = $strLine -Replace "^\s+Signal\s+:\s+",""
}
}
$objInterface.Timestamp = Get-Date -Format 'yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss'
$objInterface.Speed = (Get-wmiobject win32_NetworkAdapter | where {$_.Name.Contains($objInterface.Description)}).Speed
$objInterface | format-table
Start-Sleep -Seconds 30
}


Here is the output:
[div class='excerpt']Timestamp Description SSID BSSID Signal Speed
