Windows Network Security Utility
Automatically Disable Wireless When Laptops Connect To The LAN
Wireless AutoSwitch runs as a Windows service. It turns the wireless card off the moment a wired connection is active and turns it back on when the cable is unplugged, so laptops always use the fastest connection and never bridge your corporate network to the air.
What Is Wireless AutoSwitch?
Wireless AutoSwitch automatically disables your wireless card when you connect to a LAN (hard-wired) connection, and re-enables it when there is no LAN connection. This ensures you are always using the fastest connection for network traffic.
In the office it reduces redundant network connections while still letting employees move seamlessly between wired and wireless. For security-conscious organizations, it makes sure the laptop’s wireless card is off whenever the user is wired into your network, preventing bridged connections and closing a path for outsiders to reach your network through a laptop’s wireless card.
Wireless AutoSwitch XPV can also disable multiple Wi-Fi cards, modems, Bluetooth devices and 3G/broadband cards when there is a LAN connection, and can release the DHCP address before the wireless card is disabled.
Also available: Wireless AutoOff is a more restrictive product that keeps wireless disabled and does not auto switch. See the About page or the manual for details.
