AutoSwitch Doesn't Work

I have 2 profiles:
one is set to auto activate when SSID MyWiFi is in range AND connected
the other is set to auto activate when SSID MyWiFi is not in range AND not connected

I've tried restarting netsetman (with "at program startup, check conditions" ON). I tried disconnecting from the current network and reconnecting. I tried turning WiFi on and off

Win 11 22H2 (22623.2506). v5.3.2

Neither profile auto switches, ever.

The Wifi SSID is the same in all 4 instances blurred in the image below

Re: AutoSwitch Doesn't Work

Are you sure it is exactly the same wireless network? Did you set it up by the SSID or by the MAC address? An access point might use multiple MAC addresses for the same SSID. Please check again. Right now it looks like (based on the red outlines) the network is neither connected nor disconnected which is strange.

You can also enable the AutoSwitch logging, which might bring you some additional details regarding the source of this problem.

Re: AutoSwitch Doesn't Work

It is by SSID (and yes indeed bc both are mesh networks). It's visible it's by SSID bc when it's not the SSID is inside parenthesis in the AutoSwitch window.

I've turned on logging and will report back.

Thank you!

Re: AutoSwitch Doesn't Work

We will have a look at your log in the next days. But we would like to point out that your current configuration isn't optimal and a modification might already solve your issue:

Your two conditions for Office can be reduced to one: "Out of range", because if a network is out of range it cannot be connected at the same time. The first condition "Disconnected" is therefore unnecessary.

The same goes for your Home profile: Even though you only want one condition to apply, a network cannot be "Connected" while not being "In range" at the same time. Therefore "In range" is enough here as well.
