Nice articles, and good advise, just wish you had added one more paragraph to the story and told how to change the prioroty.

you go to saved networks click and hold the network you want to move up the list for 2 seconds you see it change a bit and then you drag it to the top of the list.

Honestly, this article is way overdone. First when you bring your playbook to work on a secure network you are usually going to have to register it to the network so you are going to know which network you are on. If your company doesn't do that then they are morons, and the professor should have known that.

If it's a home network that the writer is talking about then you click and drag like I said. Simple, done! And let's thank RIM for copying the networks over!!! I don't know how many times I've gone to relatives' homes with a new laptop and they can't find their stupid security code for the router.

Let's stop trying to turn good things about the playbook into bad, especially when the solution is click and drag!!

I think that means you've connected to the guest network at home with your BlackBerry, as the Playbook will only automatically connect to networks you have already connected to.

Also, to be slightly off-topic, I'd like RIM to fix the range of the wifi on the Playbook - I find the range on to be insufficient. I can constantly connect to networks on my 9700 with one/two bars of signal strength and the Playbook can't even see them.

Personally, my WiFi Connections are in order of security, and I had no direct intervention with when they were "programmed" into my Playbook. (V1.0.1.1680) I had connected to the different networks not in the order they showed up on my 'Save Networks'.

Just my 2 cents.

I liked the idea of the settings being transferred. Retyping security codes is a real pain, especially if your trying to connect to a secure Bell network.

My playbook did transfer my settings, well sort of.
On my home network, it changed the network setting to open from WEP to OPEN and "forgot" the 24? character security code. It took me 2 days and a tech call to figure this one out and get the code back in.

Everything works great now.

I tried rearranging the order using click and drag it looked rearranged, then moments later it was in some random order. Tried it 3 times to make sure I wasn't going crazy. Something isn't quite right!

Edited to add that every time i look at the saved list, it shows a different order!

Ouch!!! When I got my pb, I tested out the (att) bridge from my 9700 on the floor model @ bb to be sure it worked before i bought it, see how email/calander/bridge browser worked etc..

I guess THAT PB now has the key to my home and office computers! What a disappointment. No pop ups or anything!

My guess was not to worry because "nothing from your phone is stored on the playbook after you are done bridging".

Not happy about this.

I know!! But I read sooo many times that the bridge doesn't transfer ANY information to the PB that can be stored by the PB... Cept for PASSWORDS I guess!!

I really didn't want to waste my time. when att didn't approve the bridge, it was a last straw. bad enough, hardly any apps atm.. I know.. web is great etc.. BUT.. for me, noteably, not one videoconferencing app is ready, meanwhile i read about 4 or 5 different videoconferencing apps on ios and android today with multiple people conferencing etc..
need skype or something to justify this thing. son's grandparents live 1,000 miles away, and this is the simple, non laptop solution for them to see eachother when not nearby.still in my return window. not really considering it, but you never know.

Ya I was pleasantly surprised to see my saved networks copied over to my playbook from my BB. It does not copy over the passwords though, which is good.

Networks have options security for a reason,i always think of the what if's,and i know that it's a possibility of it happening to me.im glad i dont have a,it will never happen to me mentality
