Automatic switch to "preferred" network ?
 
I kinda think that this has been asked before but i couldn't find anything...


So when i leave my apartment (where i have wlan) the n800 switches to GPRS via bluetooth. So far so good :) Now when i come back, i would like the tablet to switch back to wlan (since it is faster and free) but i have to do that manually... Any way to have this done automatically ?

Thanks!

wait- how'd you get it to automatically switch to your phone when out of wifi coverage? I've been looking for that for a month. Mind you not very hard- but hey I was still looking.

Connectivity Settings / Connect Automatically > Any connection

I'd guess

Did you happen to find a way to get this to work? I want to do the exact same thing

Nope unfortunately not.

Damn, can someone write something like the OP asks? That would be awesome.

I would think if you turn your phone off, it would transfer again.

It would transfer, but that also means you have to turn your phone off.

The tablet already searches every few minutes for a wifi connection, so I guess it just comes down to if the programmers want it.
