Order of WiFi connection
Is there a way to set the order (priority) of WiFi connection?
I have two at home, work and private, the work line always connects first but its a special line than can only be used for VPN to the office so I have to disconnect and reconnect to my home line. Normally you can move the connection up and down in a list to set priority of connection but I can't see anyware to do this. |
Re: Order of WiFi connection
I don't know a way, but I've noticed that the one last used tends to stay at the top (e.g. I have two setups for the same connection, one with proxy and the other withouth, plus my phone. Of those three the last used one stays at top).

Re: Order of WiFi connection
My last used Wifi also stays at the top of the list but it connects to the one with the strongest signal, if I stand near the work access point it connects to that and if i stand near the home router it connects to that.

Re: Order of WiFi connection
Don't know if any app or a way to do it. I also like to see a way to sort on strongest signal. Mine does not do that. It may connect that way but when you are given the choice, the sorting is random.

Re: Order of WiFi connection
Hi,
I have exactly the same problems with maemo-bluetooth-plugin I would love an opportunity to set options / many options in bluetooth.ini/config file to let me work with 2 gps units once a time. This option is on TODO list by Nokia, but no time line is set yet. Linux/Debian is excellent free-/open source environment. Unfortunately not fitted to individual application user. I am tryuing hard to find a developer to tell me how to modify packages/ modify source and recompile them. But it may take months. So I would prefer editable bluetooth.ini files + some scripting to let me modify .bluetooth.ini file/s interactive way. And for WiFi connections I would prefer an option to save hot spots to a file, to make some sorting, geocoding and more. Linux/debian is open-source, free software but commercial application are more user-friendly and show much more interest in user's needs. Today I will contact Nokia developers about maemo-bt-plugin to see what can be done. Frankly speaking I would iPhone + GPS +Wifi + Bluetooth and a set of user-friendly tools. My programming experience backs from Algol, Fortran, Cobol, Pascal, Basic, VBasic, JavaScript , PHP and especially with scripting languages like PHP, JS, applications can be modified in a matter of hours, not months. I develop Google Maps API applications, Naviteq applications, Google pipes applications as a developer, unfortunately have no experience to develop and port any application to Nokia tablet yet. Maemo developers I have contacted, show no interest in new features, any user-interaction or interest. Does it really mean, writing and porting an application to Nokia 770/800 is really so complicated and time-consuming ? If so, it's a bottleneck on a way to make Nokia tablets a hot commercial product. Darius |
