WiFi

prefer() [WiFi]

Since 5.7.0:

You should normally let automatic connection management handle which network interface to use.

In some cases you may want to prefer cellular or Wi-Fi, and this can be done using the API. Note however:

• The automatic connection management rules still apply.
• The preference only determines which to use if multiple interfaces are available. It will not force connection to a non-available interface.
• Setting a preference does not affect an immediate change if the cloud is currently connected. It will only be consulted on the next automatic connection management which typically occurs after the cloud disconnects.
• Only one network type can be preferred, setting WiFi.prefer() will clear Cellular.prefer() for example.

// PROTOTYPE
virtual NetworkClass& prefer(bool prefer = true);

// EXAMPLE - enable prefer Wi-Fi
WiFi.prefer();

// EXAMPLE - disable prefer Wi-Fi
WiFi.prefer(false);
