Automatically Connecting to Wi-Fi

I recently ended my data connection on my HTC Fuze and I was wondering if there was something I could do or something that I could download so that it automatically tries to connect to the Wi-Fi instead of the 3G network?

u can go into ur connection manager and turn 3g and data off. while at it, enable wifi....

Well I know that... But you know how when you click on the weather tab without turning on the 3G or Wi-Fi, it automatically tries to connect to the 3G. How do I get it so that it does the same but with the Wi-Fi?

Turn on Wifi Based on Location

Is there an app that will enable wifi based on a specific GPS Location?
Example:
- When I'm home, enable wifi and connect to my internal network.
- When I'm at work, enable wifi and connect to my works network.

WIFI

Hello all,
This is my first smartwatch, I am having some troubles connecting to certain WIFI. Is there limitations on what kind of WIFI network this watch can see and connect to? My home WIFI seems to work just fine, but when I am at work, it doesnt see all the networks, and the one it does see......it wont let me connect to? Is there any way to fix this? I am guessing it might be some sort of security settings on the WIFI at my workplace?

Is your mobile connected to your work WIFI if so it sync with the watch with no need to setup

It may not have the functionality to connect to 5.0ghz, only 2.4ghz Wi-Fi. I can't test that because my home router is from my broadband provider. I tried a google search and the only thing that came up was that it can connect to wireless b/g/n. Nothing stating if it can or cannot connect to 5.0ghz.

it can only connect to 2.4 ghz networks.
5 ghz usually need a/ac standard to connect to.

It allows you to keep your watch connected to your phone when out of BT range but under the same wifi network.

thanks...
very limited....

... and you can install created watchfaces and transfer music from your PC/Mac to your watch (also with iPhone).

Also for apps like Spotify or should cloud pro or the YouTube app forgot the name, you can use it without using your phone to transfer data and just use WiFi. There are many uses for the WiFi its nice to have the option instead of not having it at all

I haven't investigated but I think the watch will not independently connect to any WiFi network that you phone has not first connected to. From what I understand, it can remember WiFi networks that it had connected to through your phone, but has no protocol to connect independently without the help of your phone! That's crazy!
