This is the default network configuration that installs when the Client installs. This network profile

this setting to match your desired connection.
If you are in a location with only one AP (or more than one AP that attaches to the same
network), the default profile may be sufficient without requiring the selection of a specific network

If default is last in the list, it can act as a wildcard if the device is out of range of the primary
