Some applications allow you to use access point groups

for network connection.
To avoid selecting a single access point every time the

device makes a network connection, you can create a

group that contains various access points to connect to

that network and define the order in which the access

points are used.
For example, you can add wireless LAN (WLAN) and

packet data access points to an internet access point

group and use the group for browsing the web. If you

give WLAN the highest priority, the device connects to

the internet through WLAN if available and through

packet data if not.
