This is a very frustrating problem. When I am on my university campus, I use the campus wireless. When I'm at home, I use my own router. But sometimes when I'm at home, my system picks up the fringe of the campus wireless signal--but not strongly enough to connect to it. But it's strong enough for NM to try to connect to it instead of my own router-- so then I have to manually choose my own router, or it will sit there forever trying to connect to the campus wireless.
It seems like adding priority settings should be a straightforward thing to do. I hope the importance of this issue will be recognized. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to network-manager in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/366780 Title: wifi network priority Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Binary package hint: network-manager I've got few wifi network profiles. NM connects to 1st available network in alphabetical order. But at my home NM connects to slow and unstable free network and I want to connect to my own wifi router. I suggest to add some priorities to different networks to set the order which network to connect to.
