Important

WiFiCx is the new Wi-Fi driver model released in Windows 11. We recommend that you use WiFiCx to take advantage of the latest features. The WDI driver model is now in maintenance mode and will only receive high priority fixes.

The DOT11_WFD_GROUP_JOIN_PARAMETERS structure is included with an OID_DOT11_WFD_GROUP_JOIN_PARAMETERS request. The structure contains startup parameters for a Client.
