Prev: Cannot Disable SSID on BEFW11S4 Ver 4 with WPA Pre-Share KEY
Next: trouble with WPC54gs adapter

Hello all,
Anybody have a problem with their PC jumping to different wireless
connections?
I have this Microsoft 54Mbs wireless access point and WLAN card. My laptop
(Windows XP Pro) will sync to my network and work for a few minutes that
then attempt to connect to a neighbors Lynsys network (Theirs is unsecured
and not reliably connected to the net.) This is quite annoying as I lose my
network connection every 5 mins or so while using the wireless. Anyone have
any ideas how to force windows to stay on one WLAN rather than jumping, at
random, to other networks?
I am using the standard windows WLAN software to configure and connect to
the WLAN. IS there possibly a better driver/program for connecting and
staying connected?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Greg

Hi
Change the channel of your Wireless.
Configure WZC to work only with your connection.

Moved from Channel 6 to 7 in the wireless card configuration.
I'll see if that stabilizes the network.

Looks like a large download is in my future (SP2)

Thanks!!
Greg

turn ssid broadcast back on in your access point.

Microsoft was sending CDROM with SP2 Free to anyone who requested via their
website. Took about a week to get it. Don't know if they are still doing that
but you may want to check.
(So weird how everyone top posts on the Microsoft news sites but nowhere else.)
