Using the Belkin Wireless Network Utility

Prioritizing your Profiles

You can change the priority of your profiles so the Utility will connect to the first network in the profile priority list. This feature is useful if you are in an area where you use more than one wireless network. Put simply, the profile at the top of the list will be the first network that the Utility automatically connects to. If the network at the top of the priority list is not available (you are not near it) then the Utility will go to the next profile in the list, and so on.
