How do you configure exclusive AP targeting???

Feb 08, 2005 2 Replies

I want the client PC to exclusively lock onto one targeted Wireless Router and not randomly pick some other wireless router that happens to have a stronger signal.



How can you setup a USB adapter to exclusively target one Wireless AP/Router. The client uses Windows XP with SP2????

I don't have access to my wireless computer at the moment, but there's a setting in the wireless properties (assumes that Windows in managing the wireless connection) that will prevent the computer from connecting to non-prefered networks. Check in the advanced settings in the wireless properties of the network connection.
