Some applications allow you to use access point groups to

To avoid selecting which access point to use every time

connect to a network.
For example, you can add wireless LAN (WLAN) and packet
data access points to an internet access point group and
use the group for browsing the web. If you give the WLAN
access point the higher priority, the device connects to the
internet through a WLAN if available and through a packet
data connection if not.
