Hey haal33,<br />
<br />
&nbsp; Sounds like the laptops are running Windows XP but correct me if I am wrong.<br />
Check to see if it is set to Automatically connect to Automatically connect to Available Networks<br />
and in the Advanced tab the Automatically connect to Non-preferred networks.<br />
<br />
This link will give you the info on setting up preferred networks. <br />

How to stop wireless detection from laptops with built-in wireless cards when clients are offsite

Wireless networking is a method by which homes, telecommunications networks and enterprise (business) installations avoid the costly process of introducing cables into a building, or as a connection between various equipment locations. Wireless telecommunications networks are generally implemented and administered using radio communication. This implementation takes place at the physical level (layer) of the OSI model network structure. The key hardware components of a wireless computer network include adapters, routers and access points, antennas and repeaters.
