Preferred WiFi Network

[djpfine]

How do I set the order of my WiFi networks? My iPhone keep connecting to the open network in my lobby when I get home and does not auto-switch to my home router once I reach my apartment.

Ah, seconded. I'm on a campus filled with networks, some better than others. How do you set a preferred network order?

Thanks.

I got the idea from an Engadget post: http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/18/iphone-firmware-2-0-hands-on/

See one of the middle bullets at the top.

For the one in your lobby, have you tried telling it "forget this network"?

I would, but I actually use it when I'm downstairs. I would like to have the functionality to move between the two and set one as preferred, but it seems like the Engadget article was wrong and we can't do this.

Did this ever become an option in 3.0 somewhere?

You can go into your lobby network settings and tell your phone to not automatically connect to it. That should do the trick, however youll have to open your settings and connect to the lobby network whenever you're downstairs, it won't automatically connect.
