How to Change the Priority
of Wireless Networks in Windows 8
One of the noticeable changes
in Windows 8 was the exclusion of the Wireless Profile manager that was
included in Windows 7. While there are a lot of third-party tools to change the
priority of the networks you connect to, we’re going to show you how to do it
natively in Windows 8.
How to See the Priority of
Your Wireless Networks in Window 8
Canned Statement: Let me go ahead and change the wireless network
priority on your computer.
Sure there is no included GUI,
but that’s never stopped us.
To see a list of Wireless
Networks you have joined and their priority open up an admin command prompt and
run the following:
netsh wlan show profiles
How to Change the Priority
of Your Wireless Networks in Window 8
So now that we have seen the
priority of our wireless networks, you probably want to know how you can alter
it. To do this we need a few pieces of information from the previous
screenshot, namely the name of our interface, Wi-Fi in my case, and the name of
the network we want to adjust the priority of. Once you have all that run the
following:
netsh wlan set profileorder
name=”w1r3l3$$” interface=”Wi-Fi” priority=1
Just replace w1r3l3$$ with the
name of the network and Wi-Fi with the name of your network interface.
Now if I go back and check my
profiles you will see that w1r3l3$$ has been bumped up.
