Narrative:
Was expecting to do ILS to runway 31R from ATIS and also ATC; then was given ILS runway 31L. At jfk when updating navs I must have the ILS frequency in navigation #1. On vectors; I joined the ILS to runway 31R. As soon as joining; the approach controller noticed on radar and advised to 'do not descend' and gave us a heading that was about 90 degrees left of the track for vectors back. Cause was an error on my part in not confirming the frequency in the #1 navigation. I had looked and did see the proper frequency; but it was in the #2 navigation; but not the #1 navigation. As far as preventing a recurrence; now I think even more so that it will not be mistaken as I have flown professionally for 20 yrs and have never had this happen to my knowledge previously.

Title: G550 FLT CREW WAS EXPECTING THE APCH TO 31R; BUT SUBSEQUENTLY CLEARED FOR THE ILS TO 31L AT JFK. CAPT FAILED TO RETUNE FOR THE 31L ILS AND JOINED THE LOC FOR THE RIGHT.
Narrative: WAS EXPECTING TO DO ILS TO RWY 31R FROM ATIS AND ALSO ATC; THEN WAS GIVEN ILS RWY 31L. AT JFK WHEN UPDATING NAVS I MUST HAVE THE ILS FREQ IN NAV #1. ON VECTORS; I JOINED THE ILS TO RWY 31R. AS SOON AS JOINING; THE APCH CTLR NOTICED ON RADAR AND ADVISED TO 'DO NOT DSND' AND GAVE US A HDG THAT WAS ABOUT 90 DEGS L OF THE TRACK FOR VECTORS BACK. CAUSE WAS AN ERROR ON MY PART IN NOT CONFIRMING THE FREQ IN THE #1 NAV. I HAD LOOKED AND DID SEE THE PROPER FREQ; BUT IT WAS IN THE #2 NAV; BUT NOT THE #1 NAV. AS FAR AS PREVENTING A RECURRENCE; NOW I THINK EVEN MORE SO THAT IT WILL NOT BE MISTAKEN AS I HAVE FLOWN PROFESSIONALLY FOR 20 YRS AND HAVE NEVER HAD THIS HAPPEN TO MY KNOWLEDGE PREVIOUSLY.
