Does anyone know if I can specify in iOS a preferred WiFi network to connect to? 😕
I have two WiFi networks at home but would like iOS on my iPad to prefer one over the other (like I can in OSX).
Is this possible in iOS?
Thanks

Yes. You can forget a network. Follow the steps in this link: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1398
Thanks rbrylawski
I don't really want to forget a network, however.
I simply would like to have both networks always active and iOS prefer one over the other.
For example: Let's say I have 2 WiFi networks A and B. I'd like my iPad to prefer WiFi network A and always connect to it when within range. However, if for some reason WiFi network A goes down (or out of range), then iOS will automatically connect to WiFi network B.
I believe this is supported now in iOS.
However, what I'm wondering if iOS supports is when WiFi network A comes back into range, iOS will then re-connect to A.
Thanks again rbrylawski

To my knowledge there is no facility to do what you asking. Once connected to a network, if it goes out of range and connects to another network, even if you come back in range to the first network, I don't know of any way the iPad will then reconnect to the first network, without you physically changing to that network.

Yes, this has been my experience also (which is OK).
I just was wondering if there was a method for specifying a preferred one like we can in OSX.
