View & Change Wireless Network Connection Priority in Windows 8

Yesterday we saw how to?change the Network Connection Priority in Windows 8.?In this post we will see how to view &?change Wireless Network Connection Priority in Windows 8. Windows 8 does not have a Wireless Profile manager, which was available in Windows 7. While one can always use our freeware WiFi Profile Manager 8 which tries to fill in this gap in Windows 8, you can also, if you wish,?change Wireless Network Connection Priority in Windows 8, natively using the command prompt.

For checking the list of Wireless Networks you connected to earlier and find out their priority, open?a command prompt window. For this, open the WinX menu and click on Command Prompt. Next, run the command given below

netsh?wlan show profiles

There, you will see the priority of your wireless networks. Maybe you would like to change it a bit. To do this, you will need to have information about the name of your interface (Wi-Fi as seen here), and the network name whose priority you would want to change.

When all is in place, run the following command

netsh?wlan?set profileorder name= ?Reliance? interface=?Wi-Fi? priority=1

Here?replace Reliance with the name of your network, and Wi-Fi with the name of your network interface.

That?s it!

Now, when you go back and check your profiles you will find that ?Reliance? has moved upwards.

Hope that helps!
