Automatic Network Switch
Imagine a function for easy switching between wired and wireless LAN devices. It would disable the wireless LAN device when you are connected to a wired LAN and automatically switch to a wireless LAN when the wired LAN cable is disconnected. Imagine a function for easy switching between wired/wireless LAN devices and a dial up connection. It would automatically switch to a dial up connection when both the wired LAN and the wireless LAN are disconnected. This is the purpose of the Automatic Network Switch function.
