Help Another Wifi/3g question

[Deleted User]

I want to use wifi while I am at home, but 3g away from home. Will wifi automatically turn off when I am out of range of my router or will it remain on "searching" for networks?

It stays on, periodically searching for networks. This is a minimal battery drain but if you want to have wifi turn on and off based on location, you can use something like Locale - Android app on AppBrain
