WiFi is nowadays the simplest and most direct way to connect a computer to the Internet. Any machine already has an access card and quickly connects to one of the many wireless networks we have available.
Given the number of networks we connect to and their availability, it can sometimes be tricky to manage them. It is important to define the order of these networks and how the connection is made. So, see how you can solve WiFi problems in Windows 10 by changing the priority.
Accessing a WiFi network is as simple as detecting your presence and connecting. Of course, you may have to enter a password, but in the end, it's a simple process. Controlling and ordering the priority of these networks in Windows 10 is not complicated, as we will see.
Simple way to change priority
The simplest way to bring a WiFi network to the top of the priority list is through the Windows 10 interface. Any user can do this sorting. However, they are unable to do this order with maximum control.
When you open the list of WiFi networks, present in the lower right corner, you will have access to all that are present. If you select the one you want to move up the list, you will see the option Automatically connect. Once this option is selected, the network then comes to the top of the list.
Full control over Windows 10 WiFi
Anyone who wants to have full control of WiFi and their networks in Windows 10 can also have it. Unlike the previous mode, this allows a complete management of order and priority. Just open a PowerShell window to start the process.
The first step is to see the list of interfaces, the networks present and their order within Windows 10. To do this, you only need to execute a simple command in the open window. This command is: netsh wlan show profiles.
View networks and change the order
The result of this command shows, first, the name of the WiFi interface. Usually the name will be this, but it may have another value. Second, remember the list of memorized WiFi networks, whether connected or not.
To change the priority of a WiFi network, use the command: netsh wlan set profileorder name = ”WirelessProfileName” interface = ”InterfaceName” priority = #. Here you must then indicate the name of the network, the interface (WiFi) and the order.
An example of this command will be the following: netsh wlan set profileorder name = ”tekfiz” interface = ”WiFi” priority = 1. This puts the network with the name tekfiz at the top of the list of networks. They can repeat this command for other networks to define their order.
