Looking for tips on switching between wifi and BT

cravaus · 04-19-07, 04:00 AM

I switch between using Wifi and BT to connect to the internet often through the day and it is a bit of a chore to go through the clicks to change the network connections each time. I am sure that others have found a graceful way to deal with this. Perhaps a macro or something. What is the most graceful way to switch back and forth and change the network connections on the x51V.

Please, I am getting connected just fine. I do not need help making a connection. I want help doing it faster without having to click through "start/settings/connection/connections/advanced/select networks" and then flipping to My Work Network or My Bluetooth Network multiple times a day. I was going to start writing a macro (not sure what to call up though) but thought I should get input from others first.

Take a look at this thread: http://www.aximsite.com/boards/showt...=WirelessPower
I use it daily to turn on/off WiFi and occasionally BT. It works great.

Why not just click on the WIFI or Blue tooth Icon on the Start screen, and choose to turn on or off WIFI or Bluetooth?:approve:

Well, I can turn on and off wifi and bluetooth just fine. That is not the issue. The issue is network function. Just because bluetooth is enabled does not mean that BT DUN will work. You must go into start/settings/connections/connections/advanced/select networks/ and then flip both selections to "Bluetooth Work Settings" or to "My Work Network" and that is not all. At times the switch does not really catch unless I do a soft reset and then I can use my bluetooth modem for internet and e-mail. It is a matter of network functionality. This is not necessary for pairing up with GPS or BT headphones, just for internet functions. I want to be able to switch network settings more reliably and more quickly. I would like to do a one button network switch without having to soft reset ever.
