Default Gateway Switchingcheck box (enabled, disabled) When checkbox is selected, Wi-Fi is the preferred interface used for routing (as a default gateway) when multiple adapters in use.
CAUTION: When connecting to a third party access point (such as Cisco), the gateway changes to whatever is provided by the access point's configuration and this will conflict with your wired LAN settings. Note, this situation does not occur when connecting to a JACE access point.When disabled (not checked), keep the gateway as assigned in TCP/IP Configuration view

Network Discovery and Network Database groups

These groups provide the controls and displays for working with Wi-Fi access points. Use the button controls to discover, add, edit, connect and disconnect from reachable access points. The properties and features of this group work similar to typical Niagara network discovery tools.
