Hi,<br />
<br />
I've a Router and two Range Extender.<br />
<br />
Sometimes my Laptop lose it's connection and reconnect - and I'm about 1 inch away from the Router.<br />
I think the reason for is that it change the connection and connect to an other device - is this possible?<br />
Before I use the Range Extender I'd two WLAN Router connected each other by cable and sometimes Windows also prefered to connect to the weak WLAN ...<br />
Since this I think it not really matter to connect to the strongest signal or how ever sometimes the strange of the signals may be change.<br />
<br />
Can I solve this that I can choose what extender Windows should connect to?<br />
<br />
Thanks<br />
<br />

How to set priority of access point?

Wireless networking is anything related to the transfer of data between two (or more) devices without the use of a physical connection, ranging from getting advice on a new Bluetooth headset to configuring sophisticated enterprise level networks.

Windows Vista is an operating system created by Microsoft as the successor to Windows XP. It was intended for PCs, workstations and laptops, and shares the same code base as its successor, Windows 7. New features included an updated graphical user interface (GUI) and visual style dubbed Aero, a new search component called Windows Search, redesigned networking, audio, print and display subsystems, and new multimedia tools. Vista aimed to increase the level of communication between machines on a home network, using peer-to-peer technology to simplify sharing files and media between computers and devices. Windows Vista included version 3.0 of the .NET Framework, allowing software developers to write applications without traditional Windows APIs.

A router is a networking device that forwards data packets between computer networks. Routers perform the "traffic directing" functions on the Internet. The most familiar type of routers are home and small office cable or DSL routers that simply pass data, such as web pages, email, IM, and videos between computers and the Internet. More sophisticated routers, such as enterprise routers, connect large business or ISP networks up to the powerful core routers that forward data at high speed along the optical fiber lines of the Internet backbone. Though routers are typically dedicated hardware devices, use of software-based routers has grown increasingly common.
