Automatically switch from WWAN to Wi-Fi: Requires that "Automatically connect to preferred networks" is selected.
When you select this option to automatically switch from WWAN to Wi-Fi
VZAccess Manager will disconnect your WWAN connection (NationalAccess - BroadbandAccess, NationalAccess, or Quick 2
Net (14.4 kbps)) and automatically connect via Wi-Fi when a preferred Wi-Fi network is detected. WWAN connections are
only relevant if using a 1XRTT/CDMA wireless phone and cable or an 1XEVDO/1XRTT/CDMA PC Card.
Preferred Networks: When you connect to or add Wi-Fi networks they will appear in this list. If using the
"Automatically connect" feature VZAccess Manager will try to connect to the networks in the order they appear in this list.
Move Up: Changes the priority of the Wi-Fi networks you have added or connected to in the past. This option is only
available when you have two or more Wi-Fi networks in the Preferred list.
Move Down: Changes the priority of non Verizon Wireless Wi-Fi networks you have added or connected to in the past.
This option is only available when you have two or more Wi-Fi networks in the Preferred list.
Add: Used to manually add Wi-Fi network. If you select "Add" you will have to enter the network's name and indicate if it
is password protected. The only time you would need to use the "Add" feature would be if the Access Point providing the
Wi-Fi coverage does not broadcast its network name (SSID). The easiest way to add a network that broadcasts its
network name is to select the Wi-Fi network connection when it appears, and then select "Connect". If it is password
protected you will be prompted to enter your WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) key.
Note: If you manually add a Wi-Fi network, when VZAccess Manager finds it, its signal strength will be displayed to the
right of the network name when you are within coverage of that network. If you incorrectly entered the name, the signal
strength will never indicate any signal.
Note that with certain Wi-Fi adapters the signal strength for Wi-Fi networks is not accurate until you connect to
the network.
Edit: If you select a connection in the Preferred Network list, the Edit button will become active. Pressing it will provide
you with three additional tabs that will be discussed below.
Remove: This will remove any other Wi-Fi networks you have added or connected to in the past. Just select the network,
then select "Remove".
Network Tab
From the Wi-Fi tab (above, "Tools", "Preferences", "Wi-Fi" tab) if you select a network listed under "Preferred Networks"
then select the "Edit" button or if you select the "Add" button, one of the following options will be displayed:
