Change Wireless Network Connection priority

Windows 7

In Windows 7 you can open the Control Panel > Network& Sharing > Manage Wireless Networks. Once here, you will see all the WiFi networks.

Right-click on a network and you will see context menu options like Properties, Remove network, Rename, Move up or Move down. These options will help you manage your WiFi networks.

Windows 11, Windows 10, Windows 8.1, Windows 8, Windows 7

For checking the list of Wireless Networks, you connected to earlier and find out their priority, open a Command Prompt window. For this, open the WinX menu and click on Command Prompt. Next, run the command given below: There, you will see the priority of your wireless networks. Maybe you would like to change it a bit. To do this, you will need to have information about the name of your interface (Wi-Fi as seen here), and the network name whose priority you would want to change. When all is in place, run the following command Here replace Reliance with the name of your network, and Wi-Fi with the name of your network interface.

That’s it! Now, when you go back and check your profiles, you will find that ‘Reliance’ has moved upwards.

You can always use our freeware WiFi Profile Manager, which tries to fill in this gap in Windows 10, to manage your WiFi profile. I hope that helps!
