Abstract
Profile prioritization in a roaming consortium environment may be provided. First, a client device may initiate a network discovery with a network device. Next, the client device may receive in response to initiating the network discovery, a response. The response may comprise an organization identifier and a plurality of response access identifiers corresponding to the organization identifier. A one of the plurality of response access identifiers may be labeled as preferred. Then the client device may determine to access the network based on the organization identifier. The client device may then select, from a plurality of profiles, a profile for accessing the network. The selected profile may have a profile access identifier corresponding to the one of the plurality of response access identifiers labeled as preferred.
