This video will guide you on enabling and disabling Wi-Fi AutoSwitch on Windows 11. Windows 11 ships with a lesser-known feature that is known as AutoSwitch. This feature automatically connects to a more preferred network whenever available in the range. You can turn on this feature if you have a choice of multiple Wi-Fi networks. However, enabling this feature will result in a higher frequency of periodic scanning for new networks. It may increase radio frequency pollution and more power consumption used by the wireless network adapter. When Windows is connected to an existing Wi-Fi network, it periodically scans for a more preferred network. When Windows finds a preferred network into range, it automatically switches to that network. By default, the AutoSwitch feature is disabled in Windows 11. If you prefer to use it, you need to turn it on. How to Enable or Disable Wi-Fi AutoSwitch on Windows 11? To turn on or enable the Wi-Fi AutoSwitch function on Windows 11, first, Open the Settings app by pressing Windows + I keys from the keyboard. When Windows Settings opens, select the Network & internet category from the left side pane. On the right side pane, click Advanced network settings. After that, select More network adapter options on the Advanced network settings.
