Does Wireless AutoSwitch disable 3G and Broadband Cards?

Yes.  Wireless AutoSwithc XPV (only XPV) will disable all wireless cards as well as any 3G cards or Broadband cards that are installed when there is a LAN connection.


Is Wireless AutoSwitch free?

No.  When you download Wireless AutoSwitch the MSI is pre-populated with a trial license key that gives you 30 days of free usage, and extended trial periods are available upon request.  We want you to install it on your computer, set it up and actually use it to ensure that the product will be compatible with your computer systems and satisfy your requirements.  You may test it on as many machines as you wish.  Once a purchase is made you will receive a permanent license key.


Does the Vista version work on Windows 7?

Maybe! We didn't think it would and partly didn't want it to but it may work. Wireless AutoSwitch Vista was tested on Windows 7 beta and it did not work.  However when tested on the public release of Windows 7 Home Premium it worked (this was an inplace upgrade from Windows Vista Home Premium).  We will test on all other versions of Windows 7 and update this FAQ soon.  You may test it yourself if you wish and let us know your results.


Do you offer enterprise, site, or unlimited license?

Yes we offer an enterprise license that allows for unlimited usage within your enterprise, however this is only beneficial for customers with over 5000 laptops.  Contact us at sase@wirelessautoswitch.com for details.


Are there any known issues?

If you have more than one wireless card it may lock onto the wrong one. This is not an issue with Wireless AutoSwitch XPV.

You have to use Windows XP's wireless zero configuration (XP's built in wireless network connection program) to manage the card. If for instance you have a Linksys wireless card and are using the Linksys utility to manage wireless connections the card may not get disabled by Wireless AutoSwitch.

If there is a WMI issue on the machine where Wireless AutoSwitch cannot communicate with WMI to find the network card Wireless AutoSwitch will not work. Wireless AutoSwitch uses WMI to identify which network card is the wireless one, if it can't identify a wireless card it quits.


What if Wireless AutoSwitch doesn't work?

Wireless AutoSwitch will work on any machine with a wireless card.  However there are times that it cannot find the wireless card or some other network card (usually a Virtual Adapters) creates conflict.  Whatever the case may be, simply contact us immediately at 718-930-1990 or sase@wirelessautoswitch.com and we will get the issue resolved.
