Simple answer: you can't. Also, this has been asked before (and yes, it's still valid).

The emulator does not emulate WiFi specifically. It emulates a generic network connection. You can use telnet commands to configure its characteristics (e.g., speed, latency).

You have more rep than me. Can you please edit the question and fix the title? The "Imulator" makes me cringe :) – Felix Aug 03 '10 at 20:43

Here is the solution I came up with for simulating total network connection loss on the emulator:

Write the following script and name it "nonetwork.sh"

netcfg eth0 down
sleep 10
netcfg eth0 up
netcfg eth0 dhcp

Upload the following script to the emulator via this command:

adb push nonetwork.sh /data/local/nonetwork.sh

Change the permissions

adb shell chmod 700 /data/local/nonetwork.sh

Run it

adb shell /data/local/nonetwork.sh

While the network is down on the device you'll lose access to adb as well but once the connection is re-established it will work again. Hope this helps.

What does this have to do with simulating WiFi? – Jun 14 '11 at 13:11 — , Jun 14 '11 at 13:11
