Is there a way to stop Windows 11 from searching for other Wi-Fi networks while connected? When the AutoSwitch feature is turned on, Windows will automatically disconnect from the current Wi-Fi and switch to more preferred network if possible. In this tutorial we’ll show you 2 methods to enable or disable AutoSwitch for Wi-Fi network in Windows 11.<\/p>\n

Method 1: Enable or Disable AutoSwitch for Wi-Fi Network via Network Connections<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Press the Windows<\/strong> key + R<\/strong> on your keyboard to open the Run box. Type ncpa.cpl<\/code> and click OK<\/strong> to bring up the Network Connections dialog<\/a>.\n

    \"\"\n<\/li>\n

  2. Right-click the Wi-Fi adapter and choose Status<\/strong> from the pop-up menu.\n

    \"\"\n<\/li>\n

  3. Click the “Wireless Properties<\/strong>” button.\n

    \"\"\n<\/li>\n

  4. Select the Connection<\/strong> tab. Check the box “Look for other wireless networks while connected to this network<\/strong>” to enable AutoSwitch, or uncheck it to turn off AutoSwitch.\n

    \"\"\n<\/li>\n

  5. Click OK<\/strong> to save your change.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Method 2: Enable or Disable AutoSwitch for Wi-Fi Network via Command Line<\/strong><\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Right-click the Start<\/strong> button on the taskbar and select Terminal (Admin)<\/strong> from the list that appears.\n

      \"\"\n<\/li>\n

    2. When it opens a Command Prompt window or a PowerShell console, run the command netsh wlan show profiles<\/code> to display all saved wireless network profiles. You need to note down the name of the Wi-Fi profile you want to enable\/disable the Auto Switch feature for.\n

      \"\"\n<\/li>\n

    3. To turn on the AutoSwitch feature, run the following command. Remember to replace profile_name<\/code> with the actual profile name you noted in the above step.
      \nnetsh wlan set profileparameter name=\"profile_name\" autoswitch=Yes<\/code><\/p>\n

      \"\"<\/p>\n

      \tIf you want to disable automatic network switching, execute this command instead, and the system will not automatically switch to other Wi-Fi networks.
      \nnetsh wlan set profileparameter name=\"profile_name\" autoswitch=No<\/code><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      That’s it!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
