Avoid neighbor's router

Yes I'm transmitting my SSID. Shouldn't I? Shouldn't that make me wanna grab it 1st?

I thought by using the Linksys software, I didn't use windows WRC? Is that incorrect?

I'll try connecting to their networks and then disconnect from it, as the

IIRC, you can go to "view wireless networks", connect to his network, disconnect from it, and now you are in 'manual' mode for that network, and will not connect to it automatically. That's XP SP2, FWIW...

None of this works, I guess because I'm using the Linksys software for my adapter and not windows WRC. Should I change to WRC or stay with the Linksys software? LT

Are you transmitting your SSID?

My link doesn't apply to you.

Either the Linksys utility should allow you to pick a preferred network, or you should set yours up as your default, or you should use the WZC stuff built into WinXP SP2. You are correct in assuming that the Linksys utilities and the WZC are mutually exclusive.

I use WZC which Linksys recommended for WinXP (my NIC at least). The following could be helpful.

if you're using WinXP go into the wireless settings, and tell XP never to connect to his router. Its something like network settings, your adapter, wireless, advanced. or something.
