Prioritizing a wifi connection over another

[MacGiver]

I have to wifi connections at home (work & personal). My iPhone never connects to the same one, one day it is wifi X the other wifi Y...How can I set up a favorite wiifi so it always connect to the one i wish?

Have you tried making it forget the network you don't want it to connect to?

You can prioritize connections from Preferences -> Network -> Airport -> Advanced. Drag the higher priority connection higher in the list.

That is a good idea but i would like to keep the other one as a back up in case the favorite one stops working...it already happened to me. Not "forgetting" the other wifi would avoid to re-enter the wep key the day i'll need it...that is why i would like to rank my wifi...i.e always connect to wifi X then Y so if X stops working it wil connect to Y...But maybe this is not doable?

Anyone?

That sounds like how to priortize connections on a Mac. OP was asking about doing it on his iPhone. Unfortunately, I'm not seeeing an option to do this on the iPhone. 🙁
