WiFi AutoSwitch Windows

If autoSwitch is turned on, it allows Windows to continue looking for other auto-connected wireless networks while connected to the current wireless network. If a higher priority auto-connected wireless network than the currently connected wireless network comes in range, Windows will automatically connect to it instead.

It also needs to work along with priority setting.

For example:

There're 3 networks of profile name: TP-Link-1, TP-Link-2 and TP-Link-3. PC(windows) will try to connect TP-Link-3 if it's in range when it's already connected to TP-Link-1 or TP-Link-2.

  1. Setup autoswitch:
netsh wlan set profileparameter name="TP-Link-1" autoswitch=Yes
netsh wlan set profileparameter name="TP-Link-2" autoswitch=Yes
netsh wlan set profileparameter name="TP-Link-3" autoswitch=No
  1. Setup priority:
netsh wlan set profileorder name="TP-Link-1" interface="Wi-Fi" priority=3
netsh wlan set profileorder name="TP-Link-2" interface="Wi-Fi" priority=2
netsh wlan set profileorder name="TP-Link-3" interface="Wi-Fi" priority=1

other tools:

List profile name:

netsh wlan show profiles

List connected WiFi:

netsh wlan show interfaces
