Brand new installation, and overall it's working very well ... BUT ... how can I tell the computer to ignore the signals from my neighbors?
It keeps dropping the signal to my wireless and seems to be trying to attach to the neighbor's signal if it's equal or stronger, and they all require authentication, which means I lose connection and have to aim it back at the right one.
Can I make a "look for this named router" list? Or an "ignore these" routers list?
