E-EQ-MX6RG-E-ARC MX6 Reference Guide
Preferred Profiles
A list of preferred profiles for access points (AP) in the network created by the user, or added from
the Active SSIDs table is located at the top of the Config window.
When the radio is turned on, it searches for the APs with which to associate in the order of the
listed profiles. For each profile in the table, the user can make changes by using the icon tools at
the top of the table. Tap an icon (New, Edit, Delete, Up, Down) to create a new profile, edit an
existing profile, delete a profile and move the profiles in the Active SSID listing up and down to
adjust the automatic association priority for each profile.
Note: This table is blank after an initial MX6 software installation. It can be kept blank with no
automatic association preference.

the horizontal scroll bar to check all the fields.).
