Hi,

There are a few similar threads on this but none seem to be quite what I want.

We have a "special" Wi-Fi network at work and I sometimes need to connect to this. However, if I add it to my phone then it'll automatically connect as soon as I come into range. How can I stop this from happening?

If I turn off Wi-Fi entirely then it obviously won't connect to my preferred Wi-Fi networks when I'm in other locations. And if I do a "forget" on the special work Wi-Fi then I need to re-enter all the server, authentication and proxy details every time.

How can I set a specific network as "non-automatic" so that my phone won't automatically connect, but so that I can still use it with the tap of a button?

Thanks :)
