Create access point groups
Select Menu Ctrl. panel
>
Destinations.
Some applications allow you to use access point groups to
connect to a network.
To avoid selecting which access point to use every time
the device attempts to connect to a network, you can
create a group that contains various access points, and
define the order in which the access points are used to
connect to a network.
For example, you can add wireless LAN (WLAN) and packet
data access points to an internet access point group and
use the group for browsing the web. If you give the WLAN
access point the higher priority, the device connects to the
internet through a WLAN if available and through a packet
data connection if not.
