I am having problem connecting to my home wi-fi router when I start my
laptop. It is picking my neighbour's router. I have to change it to connect to mine after starting. I can I configure my laptop to connect my router every time I start the laptop? NewToFPGA |

The various Windows types still in the wild may have a different way. And the Mac is different still. |

That info was still needed to establish who could help you out .However, the Mac does allow you to pick a specific router to be the default router. In Macs it is the preferences area, you might want to root around and see if there is a similar thing with XP. It sounds like yours is currently set up to grab whichever router has the best signal. |

I'll also guess that you're using MS Wireless Zero Config and not the manufacturers wireless connection manager. If you're using the mfg client manager, none of the following applies. Make sure your SSID is unique and not duplicated. If it's "linksys", "default", "dlink", "belkin" or "hpconfig", change it in your unspecified model router. Next, make sure you're not connecting to just any old network: Hit "Advanced" Uncheck the box "connect to any available network". Next, change the order in which your laptop connects. Double click on the wireless icon in the system tray. Select "Change order of preferred networks" Move your network name to the top of the list. (Labels may not be exact because I'm doing this from memory). -- Jeff Liebermann (E-Mail Removed) 150 Felker St #D http://www.LearnByDestroying.com Santa Cruz CA 95060 http://802.11junk.com Skype: JeffLiebermann AE6KS 831-336-2558 |

Most drivers for the wi-fi connection will have a way to select which
networks are preferred. Use that to change your network to one that's preferred, not the neighbors. Which make/model is your wi-fi card? And what's a "wife router"?
