I have a P1i with both GPRS and wi-fi access to Internet. When I am at home or at work I have GPRS connection but also wi-fi routers. For some reason my P1i chooses GPRS to connect to Internet even when wi-fi is available. Why is that? Of course I want my phone to choose wi-fi first since that is faster. How can I make this happen?

Thanks!

Q1) If you can connect to your Router, then it will show up in Connection manager as a WiFi connection, So set it with the Priority 1 in in your internat group, To do that

On your phone Go to. Control Panel -> Connections -> Internet Accounts - And Select the "Groups" Tab.
There you will see an account called Internet, Edit that Account. There you will see all your Internet Connections with the assigned Priority. Select your WiFi Coneection and give it the Priority 1. And your GPRS connection Priority 2 as etc.

What this will do is, Whenever you try to connect to internet with your Browser or Any other Application, your phone will try for your WiFi Connection first, if it is not possible, only then it will try for the GPRS connection. Hope this will solve your problem
