When you create a connection profile for an infrastructure network, your computer adds the profile to the top of the
Preferred network connections list on the Wireless Networks tab of DW WLAN Card Utility and automatically attempts to
connect to the network using that profile. If the network is in range, the connection is made. If the network is out of range,
the profile is still added to the top of the list, but your computer uses the next profile in the list to attempt a connection until
it finds a listed network that is in range. Later, you can control which types of profiles are listed by changing the network
access settings.
By default, infrastructure networks are preferred over ad hoc networks. Therefore, if you have created connection profiles for
one or more infrastructure networks, the connection profile for an ad hoc network is listed below the connection profiles for
the infrastructure networks.
You can arrange the profiles in the order you prefer by moving any connection profile up or down in the list. To attempt to
connect to a network that is not at the top of the list, you can use the Connect command on the menu that is available when
you right-click the name of the network.
